PROUD Paul Croft got a tattoo of Harry Potter wizard Albus Dumbledore on his back but is now being teased by pals after he was outed as gay. Proud Paul, 36, spent a year having the Hogwarts headmaster etched into his skin as a surprise for his five kids.
But the factory worker has been the butt of jokes ever since Harry Potter author JK Rowling revealed last week that Dumbledore was in love with a fellow male sorcerer.
Paul, of Nottingham, moaned yesterday: "It's been terrible. I've always liked Dumbledore - just not in that way.

Matter of fact it looks a lot like my uncle Jerry, with a nightcap on.
His best bet now is to get that pointy hat inked nice and red and turn ol’ Doubledoor into Santa. It’s either that or add an arm around his waist for that “reach-around” look.
I don’t see a name on it: Why not just say it’s Merlin?
Or keep his shirt on.
Oops!
"Albus Dumbledore" is an anagram of "Male bods rule, bud!"
I’m wondering how much money this father of five kids wasted on this stupidity.
I can think of any number of “surprises” that would have benefitted them more, and caused him less “embarrassment”. But, looks like he’s enjoying his 15 minutes, which reinforces my first impression of his idea of a good surprise for his five kids.
I’m not saying he’s gay, but a lot of gay guys have that tattoo.
LOL! Who would come up with this stuff :-)?
I think the fact that his 5th child is named “Paris” suggests that the gentleman has indulged in way too many Foster’s.
I wonder if Paris is a boy or girl. That could shed more light on the orientation question ...
I think this is a case for Lois Caps Liberty Tattoo Removal. “When I was 14, I had our band name tattooed on my forehead, but I didn’t know how to spell “maroon”...I felt like such an an outcast!”
You very well could be right about the Foster’s.
Wondering, since he thought this particular tattoo was a good idea, if his poor child might be a namesake of that exemplary role model, Paris Hilton?
I shoulda got a dark mark ping.
Absolutely delicious with Irony coming from the “QUEENSLAND NEWSPAPER.”
Tat removal is becoming big business these days. Number one reason for Tat removal? Removal of someone’s name who you no longer want sprawled across your body.
Probably.
LOL!
I think this falls under the heading of “Almost too dumb to breathe.”
LMAO!! I love starting the day off with a hearty laugh. It's always a good idea to stay away from pop culture when considering a tattoo. Stick to the classics: anchors, pin-ups, flags, eagles, and hearts that say "Mom" or your ex-wife's name.
Regardless of Dumbledore’s sexuality, this man deserves to be mocked and ridiculed. A guy in his 30s getting a huge tattoo of a fantasy fiction character... Sad, that’s just plain sad. He should get his WOW name tattooed across his chest as well. Dweeb.
Hey the kid could be named after the Trojan Prince! Butttttttttttt I seriously doubt it.
