Hello. I'm going to assume you're the same person who berated me for saying I was thinking about a tattoo. While I appreciate that you probably have good intentions, and that anything posted on the internet becomes a part of the public forum, I would appreciate it if you didn't post comments like these in the future. If you have a complaint about a course of action I am planning to take, you can address me directly via facebook or email. Thank you.
