My Tattoo

my-tattoo.jpg

Here’s my tattoo. Ma haine dure (my hatred endures.)

I am very happy with it, but it seems to upset strangers, which was not my intent. I’m getting tired of explaining its genesis, and that hatred is my fuel, my strength, my currency, etc.

I’m going to start saying it means “I love puppies,” just to avoid pointless arguments.

    I love your tattoo, Nigress. I have a tattoo that translates to “crazy or evil spirit” across my back in Japanese. My father still thinks it means patience.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BEAUTIFUL FRIEND! I love you!

    I love your hatred tattoo, too. I have one that’s a porcupine, in my daughter’s honor. Porcupine was her in utero nickname, derived from porky, a pet name between the husband and me. That explanation is also getting a little long to always be repeating, too, so I just let people think I’m weird rather than getting into it.
