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

 Wednesday, November 17, 2010: so did dad say anything about the tattoo...even Maggie’s parents said yes and shes really excited about it.

I didn’t talk to him yet, because it can wait until the weekend. You’re 18 and there’s not much he can say. Since I’m paying for your hair, please pay for the (small!) tattoo yourself. I do not want to give you a tattoo as a Christmas present, especially since I don’t like the idea. Please think carefully about this step, you will have to live with this decision for the rest of your life. It only looks good on smooth skin, so imagine a tattoo on an eighty-year-old…Mom

ugh fine i guess everyones getting cheap christmas presents then

(Mom didn’t answer back)

okay so we decided to get it over winter break

Monday, 22 November, 2010: see ya in 2 days! lol so pointless.... but im about to go to class anyways
