Amazing story.
I can imagine this story being used in a sermon about giving up on the old self and repenting
Incredible commitment.
Love this!
How can we tell this guy is dangerous now?
I have to applaud the community here on 22 Words.
My wife has been following this story on several sites and so many people are negative or downright disgusting in their commentary about either him being a monster always or because he strayed from the poster’s bigoted views.
Thanks to you all for being respectable human beings. :D
Also, kudos to the guy we were actually talking about before I went all emotional. lol
Strange man going through the trouble of having all those tatoos done and then the surgery to have them remove. Weird!
@ Peggy, people change don’t you know? We aren’t stuck in time; we grow and develop as individuals (ideally). The tattoos in this case were merely surface detail; the real change happened over time as he grew up and became wiser and kinder until the time came when his old tattoos no longer reflected his personality at which point he needed them gone…
with each picture his hair should have been longer, until he had wonderful flowing tresses.
ok, so now he has the slash in his eyebrow….sint that a gang thing ??
