Drunken sailors and "Harry Potter" cast members appear to have little in common. A news report indicates otherwise. To commemorate completion of the final film in the series, the cast of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" might all get the same tattoo much like sailors of old pledged their undying brotherhood with matching "tatts" after a difficult voyage.
Rupert Grint, the cast cut-up, stated that he planned to get a tattoo of Daniel Radcliffe's face "somewhere on his body". Playing along, Radcliffe promised to have Grint's image permanently engraved on his skin.
Don't do it, guys! Sailors can get away with an anchor, mermaid, or hula girl tattoo. It's part of their charm. It won't freak out the other guys in the locker room. But if the guy at the adjacent locker has a "tatt" of another guy's face on his body, I'm bolting out the door and showering at home.
As our bodies sag, wrinkle, and bulge with time, the artful perfectly-proportioned "face" tattoo that we got when we were 20 becomes Munch's "The Scream" when we are 60. Unless you want to clear space on a crowded beach in your dotage, don't get that tattoo, boys.
Of course, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint have made enough money from "Harry Potter" that they could shave their bodies, dye themselves red and go through the rest of their lives as "Jolly Rancher" candies if they so desire. A tattoo probably doesn't matter.
