>>19783812Totally understand you brother. I only have two tattoos, “Love” on the knuckles of my right hand and “Hate” on the knuckles of my left. It’s very spiritual and represents the shit I’ve done. “Hate” is on the hand of my trigger finger and when I served in Afghanistan and Iraq I was taught to to hate my enemies. Sometimes I hate myself for the friendly fire incident I was involved in that time in Fallejuah. “Love” is on my right hand and that’s the hand I used to play slippyfist with my Uncle Jack who I loved like a dad, mostly because I didn’t have a dad growing up and Uncle Jack would sleep in my room some nights and we’d play and stuff and it was always just love.
My tattoos remind me of the duality of man and sometimes you hate the things you love and love the things you hate and your expectations get subverted. You gotta always remember that.
