| | '''Medical-grade''' is a phrased coined by marketing literature and adopted by society which implies that a certain product or material is of high enough quality to be used by medical professionals. These could be tool and equipment (e.g. [[Hemostats|hemostats]] or [[Needle|needles]]) or the raw materials for jewellery making (e.g. [[Titanium|Titanium]], [[Silicone|Silicone]], or [[PTFE|PTFE]]). However, it has no real meaning since clearly some products have multiple medical uses each of which has its own (different) minimum quality standards. A similar example is that of "[[Surgical Stainless Steel|Surgical Steel]]". |

| '''Harry Potter''', the widely popular children's series written by JK Rowling, features not only magic but also [[Category:Body Modifications|body modification]].
| |
| | |
| In addition to the lightning-bolt shaped [[Scar|scar]] on Harry's forehead, <s>Lord Voldemort</s> He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, the evil wizard responsible for the death of Harry's parents, has [[Brand|branded]] ''The Dark Mark'' on the arm of each of his legion of followers (known as "Death Eaters").
| |
| | |
| The Dark Mark is represented by a serpent exiting the mouth of a skull. The mark is faded, but in time, as Voldemort's powers grow stronger through the series, the mark begins to burn darker and more clearly on the forearms of the followers, signaling his return.
| |
| | |
| Not unlike [[Gang|gang]] tattoos, the Dark Mark is a permanent sign that the wearer has aligned his or her self to Lord Voldemort. Other [[Tattoo|tattoos]] include those worn in the movie by Harry's godfather, Sirius Black (played by Gary Oldman).
| |
| | |
| Harry Potter fans range from small children to adults, and Harry Potter themed tattoos have begun to emerge.

| |
| In ''The Goblet of Fire,'' the fourth book in the Harry Potter series, Lord Voldemort touches his wand to the Dark Mark on Wormtail's arm, using it as a signal to call his followers to the graveyard where he is waiting for them.
| |
| | |
| The series also carries other references to body modification including; (Involuntary) [[Cutting|Cutting]] when Harry is forced to (magically) cut the words "''I must not tell lies''" into the back of his hand by the "Ministry Approved" Proffesor Dolores Umbridge, (book five "The Order of the Phoenix"). And the more humorous rumor in book six (Half-Blood Prince) that Harry has a "Hippogriff" tattooed across his chest-
| |
| | |
| : "''...and all Romilda Vane does is ask me if it's true you've got a Hippogriff tattooed across your chest...I told her it's a Hungarian Horntail,' said Ginny, turning a page of the newspaper idly. 'Much more macho.''"
