“I want you to listen to me very carefully, Harry. You’re not a bad person. You’re a very good person, who bad things have happened to. Besides, the world isn’t split into good people and Death Eaters. We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.” - Sirius Black
These are my first tattoos. “Lumos” the spell for light and “Nox” the counter spell. I am a part of the Hogwarts generation and I have learned so much from J.K. Rowling and all the world she created. This quote is especially meaningful to me, my father and I haven’t had the best relationship since I was about 12 and he betrayed my trust. I like to think of this tattoo as a way to remind myself that he is not a bad person and that everyone can fall into the dark sometimes.
