I understand the anger directed against Rowling. I won’t be buying anything remotely Harry Potter (or have for a long while).
But for people who really connected with the books enough to get tattoos, are you really doing yourself a favor by getting it removed? The books obviously meant a lot, and the characters, events, and story meant a lot.
It seems a lot like self-inflicting pain because someone else hurt you.
not everyone can disconnect the author from their work, if looking at your tatto makes you think about your favourite book that keeps reminding you of how the author actively keeps making your life more miserable and considers you either a predator or a broken little girl - then yeah, maybe that tattoo is not the best thing to keep around
This is probably a hot take.
