Pescaro's tweet said, "Never will I forget the day my life changed forever, but I'm #notafraid to rise from it stronger than ever. We will all come out stronger from this @unccharlotte #CharlotteStrong."
His tattoo will not only remind him of that tragic day, but the changes he's made to overcome it.
On May 13, he tweeted about a major milestone he reached: taking his first steps without a walker.
Days later, he ate his first meal and he had his final surgery.
Pescaro plans to return to UNCC in the fall for his junior year.
