"Around 16 per cent of people regret getting a tattoo, less than one per cent of people regret gender-affirming surgery, and 100 per cent of queer people regret their Harry Potter tattoos (last stat not fact-checked),"
"So, I will be offering 50 per cent off removal of any Harry-Potter-themed tattoos, for anyone. Trans rights are human rights."
"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."
Manchester Laser NQ, based inside The Old Volt tattoo parlour on Swan Street, is offering 50 per cent off removal of Harry Potter-themed tattoos. The promotion was posted on Instagram and framed as a stand against JK Rowling's views on the transgender community, noting the wizarding franchise had been 'ruined' for many fans. The post included a tongue-in-cheek set of statistics about tattoo regret and an explicit offer to reduce removal costs, adding 'Trans rights are human rights.' Manager El said many queer fans now feel ashamed of their Harry Potter tattoos and the offer aims to make removal easier. Related cultural responses include criticism of celebrities linked to the franchise and the dropping of Harry Potter tours in Edinburgh.
