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.
I like that study. I wonder what the actual rate of people who specifically regret their HP tattoos is vs the rate of overall tattoos. Like the commenter above, I would love to share this but I want to make sure everything about it is unassailable before I do.
Every person I know with a harry potter tattoo regrets it lol. Sample size is 2
I also regret their tattoos.
