If the arrest of Mr. Rodney Pendleton, owner of 54 Tattoos, is as indicated in the online issue of The Citizen, May 22, it didn’t take long for Mr. Pendleton’s true colors to come out.

When I first learned of the impending opening of the tattoo parlor and wrote of my displeasure, Mr. Pendleton wrote how we were trying to keep him from making an honest living for his wife and family; how he had invested his life savings into this venture.

Also, some writers and bloggers on The Citizen online castigated me as being a Peachtree City snob.

What are their feelings now? You have to wonder if the tattoo parlor was a cover for a place to sell his drugs. Then, and now more than ever, I find the tattoo parlor to be a bad fit for our community.
