The organism was Vibrio vulnificus which is related to but not Vibrio Cholera. At least 10 other people in the area have been infected with it and it is a nasty infection.

This twit was ignorant in not following the instructions given for a new tattoo which indicate you don’t swim for a period of about a week, or more. Same instructions I got years ago when I got my tattoo and the same as I got when I recovered from surgery.

Tats are hardly a fad, having been around for millennia.

For those of you calling people with tats stupid, degenerate, alcoholics, etc. you might want to apologize to the many military members enlisted and officer, retirees, veterans, ministers, doctors, and other conservatives who have one or more tats. You also might apologize to my wife who is a veteran, college educated, retired grandmother and has a tat memorializing her sister. I’m a former enlisted Marine and retired officer, hold a master’s degree, and now teach college courses full time and I have a tattoo with my name, my wife’s name, a heart and 1972 for the year wrapped around a Marine Corps emblem. Since that is the year we were married and we were both Marines when we married it seemed very appropriate.

It always amazes me how easy it is (like leftists degrading conservatives) for conservatives to speak ill of those who have tats. He had the cross and folded hands for a reason, could be his beliefs and faith but none of you know that.

He didn’t follow instructions and his death is unfortunate. You might have better exhibited your faith and charity by offering a prayer for him rather than some of the comments I found here.

My grandmother and mother always told me not to speak ill of the dead because it does not exhibit anything in the way of Christian charity. Maybe some of you need to keep your personal dislikes and prejudices to yourselves in public venues.
