Oh, that's fascinating! 😂
You don't have any sources for that? I'm very inclined to believe it anyway.

Klimperei - Petchanatz@vantablack i donno if it's true but funny anyway
Ember 🏳️⚧️@Klimperei @vantablack it is very believable, gender affirming surgeries have the lowest regret rate of basically anything one can do to their body (less than 1% - for comparison: knee surgeries have a regret rate of up to 30%).
For tattoos the statistics are a bit more complicated (those who have many tattoos tend to regret less), not sure who did a survey specifically about Harry Potter tattoos but I would certainly regret it if I had ever gotten one, lol.

anecdotally tattoo artists said there was a noticeable rise in the proportion of people getting cover ups over the top of harry potter related tattoos when kk Rowling first started being vocally anti trans. And I have spotted a tattoo in the wild (on a women at work whose child is trans) with what looks suspiciously like the Deathly Hallows symbol embedded in the middle of it.

masukomi@Klimperei @vantablack it's almost guaranteed to be true becasue tattoos in general have a radically higher regret rate (22% in the US) than gender affirming surgery (1%)
PlutoCentipede@vantablack yes, I heard. Homophobes who regret getting a Dumbledore tattoo.
Kit Rhett Aultman@PlutoCentipede @vantablack when I was getting my tattoo done, the artist was joking with his mates in the studio that the Deathly Hallows logo is "the gateway drug of tattoos". If that's true, I suspect there are a *lot* of regretted ones for all sorts of reasons.
Mans R@vantablack Harry Potter tattoos should only be allowed after a thorough psychological evaluation.

Before all this, I wanted to get HP tattoos.
So lucky I was too poor to get them. :P
I did eventually get my surgeries though just last year, and I have zero regrets. <3
Matt McIrvin@vantablack Knee-replacement surgery has a higher regret rate than gender-affirming surgery, and that's a surgery I've gotten that was completely uncontroversial.

@vantablack @mattmcirvin The reason why people discuss gender-affirming surgeries and not other are because they are the only kind of surgery where a "physically healthy" human is going under the knife. But for some reason its basically more "controversial" than plastic surgeries.
@nyovaya @vantablack there's always this undercurrent of "*I* decide what is healthy and natural".

Who the heck gets a HP tattoo?

I can’t find any statistics online for this specifically, but it sounds believable enough given there are probably more Harry Potter tattoos than gender affirming surgeries.
That, and one is a permanent marking of something from pop culture, and the other is a highly personal decision.
I constantly think to myself that my mom was right about not letting me read Harry Potter. Even if she was concerned about something else.
I guess I’m glad I never finished the series
Medea Vanamonde🏳️⚧️ ♀@vantablack one of my Tootsies is getting bottom surgery right now.
That’s two Tootsies this spring
morfil (any)🌈@vantablack that one is, as you say, laughing out loud funny !
Blind Mapmaker@vantablack Would be more surprising if not almost everything you can do to change your body had a higher regret-rate than gender-affirming surgery.
