They are not bad like the others say.
Leprechauns
Very small sprites who sometimes live in farmhouses or wine cellars. They are known to aid humans and perform small labors for them. Sometimes they ask humans for supplies and furniture, for which in return they give objects which bring luck and fortune. Leprechauns are called fairy cobblers, for they make shoes for elves (but always one shoe, never a pair). They are seen quite often by humans and are described as merry little fellows gaily dressed in old-fashioned clothes; green, with a red cap, leather apron, and buckled shoes.
When they finish their daily tasks, leprechauns like to organize wild feast, during which time they are referred to as cluricauns. These (often drunk) cluricauns can then be seen riding in moonlight on the back of a dog or a sheep.
According to popular belief, a leprechaun possesses a treasure (usually a pot of gold) which a human may obtain if he succeeds in capturing one, which is extremely difficult. Even after capture, a person may not take his eyes off of him for an instant, for then he will vanish. Leprechauns are mainly found in Irish folklore.

Any creature trying to steal their gold. So I would have a pix, of some wicked eyes hiding in a tree, watching the leprechaun. And the wings of the wicked fairy blending like camouflage, with the foliage of the tree.

They're not exactly "enemys", per say, but if it's a color tattoo, I'd go with a Redcap, since the colors are complementary. :)
A la wiki: A Red Cap or Redcap, also known as a powrie or dunter, is a type of malevolent murderous goblin, elf or fairy found in British folklore. They inhabit ruined castles found along the border between England and Scotland. Redcaps are said to murder travelers who stray into their homes, sometimes by pushing boulders off cliffs and on to them, staining their hats with their victims' blood (from which they get their name). Indeed, redcaps must kill regularly, for if the blood staining their hats dries out, they die. Redcaps are very fast in spite of the heavy iron pikes they wield and the iron-shod boots they wear [...]

Leprechauns are mischief makers. They are not well liked by anyone. Other fairy folk avoid them. Gnomes are about the only ones I can think of that may get a bit hostile toward leprechauns because their spheres of influences are very close.

Not sure who the enemy of a leprechaun is........the IRS sounds like good competition to me.

The church (clergy) hated leprechauns and stamped out stories of them wherever they could. They were pagan creatures.
