Father of five does not regret Dumbledore tatt

Dumbledoreharris

















Would you have a 2ft tattoo inked on to your body as a surprise for your children?

Well, factory worker Paul Croft did.

The etching of Dumbledore on his back "seemed like a good idea at the time."

But since the revelation from Harry Potter JK Rowling that Dumbledore is gay, Paul has been getting stick from his co-workers.



"It's been terrible," he told The Sun.

"I've always liked Dumbledore - just not in that way. I went into work and everyone was sniggering.

"When I walked in, one of the lads said, 'Oi, Paul - heard about Dumbledore?'

"There were wisecracks about 'Watch your backs, lads.' Someone asked me if I was planning to get a tattoo of Graham Norton. I thought, 'Why me?'"

Sounds like a fun place to work.

Paul's tattoo, which set him back £500, shows the gay wizard as portrayed by the late Richard Harris in the first two Potter films, holding a scroll with the names of Paul's five children written on it.

Sounds like you just got nominated to help end the plight of discrimination. Welcome to the ranks.

Having a tattoo is like volunteering to sit under the sword of Damocles!
