God bless my poor folks who regret their Harry Potter tattoo because they're trans. You have my condolences. πŸ˜”

You can hate on Joanne without being trans because she's a terrible human being that put Jewish stereotypes in her books, made slave owning the normal and the people going against it the ridiculed minority.

She also made the jock main character that won sports because he always got the newest most expensive broom instead of hard work with rich parents a cop. Also she keeps retconning stupid stuff like how wizards just poop on the floor and magic the shit away.

On top of that she's a TERF and just a giant shit stain on society that wizards should just magic away.

Imagine the only way to regret putting something made by a terrible human being on your body is to be directly affected by it. Imagine having empathy.

I'd say "imagine if that was actually what I wrote," but it looks like you went ahead and did that for me. ❀️

I just want this guy as a tat:

How would I ever regret it?

Don't let your dreams be memes. When we did the blackout thing on reddit last year, I said I'd get a Reggie tattoo if it worked. Sometimes, I'm a little sad it didn't work out, but I'd probably regret getting a Reggie tattoo. So maybe it's a good idea to let some dreams be memes. But I'm not your mum, and you can do whatever makes you happy uwu

Get a Reggie tattoo anyways, do it

Get the femboy rat tattoo. Please it would be so fucking funny

[–] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 2 points 3 months ago

Peer-pressure me harder, daddy OwO

You like getting tattoos don't you

This is entirely unsubstantiated but I've heard it's been used to groom minors on Xitter

[–] OsaErisXero@kbin.run 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Anyone know where they sourced that anecdote? I would love to be able to spread that around

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 40 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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 πŸ™„

[–] Faydaikin 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I just thought it would be funnier if there was anything to it.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 3 months ago

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'll never regret getting remus lupin tattooed on my thigh. it's just where he belongs.
