Dear dad,
I hope you're fine and everything is well since I left home to go to university. I'm sorry for answering so late but I haven't found time to write to you because I'm working very hard in these days.
First I'd like to tell you that I'm very ashamed of the pair of wings tattooed on the back of my neck. This tattoo bothers me when I'm trying to do my homework. I really regret having it because I've got to keep this awful tattoo forever.
I know that I should have listened to you. But I'm very grateful to you for trying to convince me. How stupid I was!
Moreover, you can't understand how much I regret. In all my life, it's the biggest mistake that I have ever made. On the other hand, Beckham hasn't been playing very well, England has been disqualified because of him and so on... Beckham isn't my hero anymore...
You were right about this tattoo, it is definitely too big and too showy! All my friends tell me that I look like a hooligan.
If only I had realized these problems before... I wish I had had a mehndi tattoo instead of this tattoo on the back of my neck in order not to regret it later. I regret not having heard of mehndi tattoos before!
By the way, do you know what mehndi is about? Well, it's the application of henna as a temporary form of skin decoration. It's typically employed for special occasions, particularly weddings.
Nowadays mehndi decorations become fashionable in Europe. It's just like the other tattoos except that it remains almost a fortnight.
Now, I'm keen on a talented guitar player nicknamed 'the Blackwind'. As he's a skin-head body-pierced guy, I'm dying to get my nose and my tongue pierced!
Could you give me your opinion? I don't wanna make another mistake...
That's all for now, I've got a lot of work.
Give my love to mum.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon...
Lot's of love
Your son, Peter McTive
