Wed, 16 Feb 2011: i will NEVER regret getting my tattoos no matter who turns me down. Alexandra

Wednesday February 16, 2011: Alexandra,

Here is a perfect example how life would be simpler for all if kids would listen to their parents, instead of having to make their own mistakes, but I guess that’s human nature: After all the big parties to see Peter off to Marine boot camp, guess what? The Marines rejected him because of his tattoo. He never even made it down to Parris Island. A soldier with a tattoo or a sunburn is considered to have damaged government property. (Soldiers are considered government property). I can’t even imagine how disappointed and upset they all must be.

Now he’s trying to get into the Navy, but this just to show you what I’ve been telling you all along. Tattoos are a life changing decision, not to be made lightly. I hope you will never be in the position and have to regret getting your tattoos. Later, Mom
