Turning Prejudice into Acceptance - Props to Josh Todd
Sunday June 15, 2008
While surfing channels the other day, I came across E!'s True Hollywood Story. The show was about rocker wives and one of the women they interviewed was Mitzi Martin, wife of Josh Todd from Buckcherry.
Mitzi was explaining that while she and Todd were dating, her father sat Josh down and said, "I have to be honest; I don't like the tattoos." Now, Josh could have told his future father-in-law that his opinion didn't matter or made some sarcastic remark, but he didn't. His response? "You know, one day you won't even see them." That honest but respectful response won over Mitzi's father and the entire family.
I love that comment! And he's absolutely right. After you get to know someone, you look past anything exterior and it's almost as if those things fade away and all you see is the person underneath. Kudos, Josh!

That is so absolutely correct- my husband has a tattoo on his face ( a tribal that covers the whole right side) and initially my family disliked it but you simply don’t see it anymore.
People need to look past the surface, as the saying goes and still holds true-
