Anyone know where they sourced that anecdote? I would love to be able to spread that around
The general regret rate is around 25% of people with tattoos who regret any tattoo they have.
Trans surgery regret rates are around 1-3%, last I looked into it.
So they just pulled the Harry Potter specific part out of their ass?
The article in the link you provided seem to indicate that most of the Tattoos people regret are tied to other people and beliefs. Like ex-lovers names and swastikas.
Wow it would be terrible if someone posted a meme on /c/transmemes and not a scientific study of HP tattoo regret rate 🙄
I just thought it would be funnier if there was anything to it.
If only 5% of people who got HP tattoos regret them (insanely optimistic) that’s still higher than the regret rate for trans surgeries. I didn’t post this here to nitpick about whether or not anyone has polled people with HP tattoos.
I definitely regret some of mine. I got them when I was very naive and still believed that not only there was a god but that they were also a good and just and loving god. I would love to get them removed or covered, but they are large enough and dark enough that I would have to spend a lot of money to get them covered or removed. That being said, I am planning to get more tattoos when I have the disposable income. I want to get mushrooms and insects and stuff.
