skull and snake
While colorful tattoos can have their own charm, a well-detailed and shaded black and white design can really bring out some of the key Slytherin vibes. The two designs are very similar, especially the marta.adan tattoo depicting a skull often associated with Voldemort’s servants.
Sometimes, skulls can be really corny and overused in tattoos. However, here the skull is drawn in very thin strokes and the skin does not look thick. The flowers hold the whole design together and form a pretty frame around the skull.

Another famous symbol in the series is undoubtedly the Time-Turner, a mysterious item that takes Hermione back in time. Nowadays, anyone wants to own such an item which is why it is also the subject of several tattoos.
This particular Slytherin tattoo from cheltattoos depicts a snake coiled around a time machine. It’s a very creative concept, without undue pride in Slytherin, but still clearly showing which house the person supports and belongs to.
moss mode
Death Eaters are often associated with Slytherins due to their historical understanding of the Dark Arts and Voldemort’s support. Jodiebowattoos combines several symbols of these two groups into one.
Morsmordre is of course the dark, mystical spell capable of producing the Dark Mark. Here, the symbol itself has taken on a slender, beautiful appearance, which is very consistent with the concept of the mantra and the snake itself.
hand and wand
While many modern tattoos look stunning, traditional tattoo styles also have their own charm. The black-and-white snake and wand hand perfectly embody Slytherin pride without overdoing it.
The best part of this work by toretatoos is definitely the design of the hands, taken from old illustrations and drawings, in a very victorian style.
Watercolor Deathly Hallows
A very unique tattoo style when colored will have a watercolor effect. The effect is as the name suggests: It looks like watercolor paint on the skin and has a softer aesthetic, as evidenced by this design.
The green here balances out the sharp and dark lines of the Deathly Hallows symbol, which adds some swirls and ridges. This is a beautiful and discreet corner piece of silent_wolf_goblin in memory of Slytherin.
Slytherin house
For a more traditional and cartoonish style, this design by almendrupa depicting the Slytherin logo is perfect. The lines are sharp, as if taken out of a comic book, and the shadows give the logo background a galaxy-like green effect.
Snakes are the main theme here, cuter and more detailed than most designs. The perfect finishing touch is the yellow gem on the bottom.
Proud
As most fans know, Slytherin is very proud and considers himself superior, or at least above the rules. They are often striking individuals, and this tattoo shows that by depicting a Slytherin in the arms of a snake.
This design by louetattooartist is unique and simple with a clean, modern style. Although most Harry Potter Usually tattoo designs are highly decorated and this one stands out with a modern look.
Snitch Cupcakes
For a super cute tattoo, this tattoo, originally designed by lizcooktattoo, features all the great elements from the collection, including the elusive golden snitch on a cupcake and three quidditch rings in the background.
The cupcakes may be related to Hogsmeade and its famous confection, Honeydukes. It’s entirely possible the store is selling something to celebrate Slytherin. The tattoo itself looks a lot like the cartoon completing its fun style.
wand
Made from an owl core, the Elder Wand is a legendary item and the Deathly Hallows, known for sure as the most powerful wand in the world. It is only suitable when it appears here with the symbol of the Deathly Hallows, Slytherin and the Snitch fruit.
This design by gemicco is modern, geometric and clean. It has a simple look that any minimalist Slytherin will love.
Poison
Another traditional tattoo design, this one by Swampqueenart features something unusual in Slytherin tattoos: a potion. When thinking of Slytherin, it would be foolish not to think of Severus Snape and his status as Head of House Slytherin.
This hand design combines potion with a classic hand design featuring a beautiful green snake tattoo. Tattoo in tattoo – what more do you want?
