""Around 16% of people regret getting a tattoo," the caption read, "less than 1% of people regret gender affirming surgery and 100% of queer people regret their Harry Potter tattoos (last stat not fact checked).""
""I hate JK Rowling and everything she has done to try and degrade the rights of trans people," the post continued. "I know a lot of us grew up loving Harry Potter and it has now been ruined by her using the profits to fund her anti-trans agenda.""
""Like many queer people, I loved Harry Potter when I was younger and it only lost its magic because of the woman who wrote it," El added. "I know there are a lot of people walking around with HP tattoos that they no longer want or even feel ashamed of having now and I just wanted to make it a bit easier for people to get them removed.""
Manchester Laser NQ, operating inside The Old Vault tattoo parlor in Manchester, posted a social media offer for 50% off Harry Potter tattoo removals at the end of September. The post mocked fandom tattoos with a caption comparing tattoo regret statistics and labeled Rowling's actions as degrading to trans people. Manager El said the discount was planned to help queer people who feel ashamed of HP tattoos after Rowling's anti-trans campaigning. The post drew appreciative comments from followers, including trans people seeking removals and many expressions of support and approval.
