An inevitable repercussion of the global success Harry Potter has enjoyed, fans of the series getting lightning scars of their own was always going to be a thing.

People will obviously paint on their own scars for cosplays and Halloween costumes, and some may even use temporary tattoos. But then there's this lot, who got extremely drunk in Magaluf and decided to get a very real, very difficult to remove Potter scar grafted onto their own skin.

In 2016, Facebook page Magaluf Box Office posted several images of a young woman who decided to visit a tattoo shop after a boozy night on the town. Rather than opting for a more discreet choice, she chose to have a scar replica emblazoned across the dead-centre of her forehead. Shortly after, a man did exactly the same thing. And considering Magaluf's reputation, that probably wasn't the end of it.

We've all done silly things while drunk, but imagine having to explain this one to your boss on a Monday morning?

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
