Wizard tattoos evoke mixed responses. This is because this mythical character means different things to different people. The wise old man, wearing a pointed hat, holding a magic wand and a fixed stare in to the future can mean that he is both good and bad.

According to the Christian religion, wizardry and wizards are looked down upon. It is associated with black magic, fortune-telling, witchcraft and all that is Satanic in nature, dealing with the evil spirits. So if you wear a wizard tattoo you could expect some negative feedback from conservative Christians.

Wizard tattoos hold magical powers according to some. Depending on the wizard and his mercy, he could bring you good luck and wad off any evil which you are susceptible to as he knows your future better than anyone else. While he takes care of you he can do harm to anyone who has ill-intentions against you.

All said and done, wizard tattoos have become extremely popular in recent times. Thanks to the movie media and other forms of literature which have glorified folklore and have brought the children stories back to the coffee table, the wizard, as a concept is more accepted now than ever before. In all probability, it inspires the child in us, if you view it with the backdrop of logic and rationality.

The dimensions and design possibilities are immense with wizard tattoos. You could have it small and dainty looking or you could expand it to cover your chest or a full back piece. The colors which can be used are as varied as you want them to be. There are some who also inscribe a word or verse to complement the wizard tattoo. Remember the vast majority of wizard tattoo lovers believe them to be nothing more than a figment of the imagination and a slice of folklore that is prevalent all across the world. In fact folklores use the wizard to do the impossible – both good and bad, depending on what the storyteller wants the situation to be.

Because wizardry, fortune telling, and magic has become a hot topic for popular entertainment, wizards are also gaining some recognition. This recognition and public acceptance have made wizard tattoos also gain popularity. For that matter, dragon and fairy tattoos are equally mythical in nature and have also become the tattoo of choice for many tattoo lovers in the western world.
