Rugged hands inked with brave symbols—
dark icons that make innocent heart trembles.
None knows they hide war’s one broken, tattered soul.

Love it!! Usually when people see someone full of tattoos they immediately judge him as gang member, a criminal or harsh person

I agree! That’s how shallow some people are.

Lovely. We never judge a book by its cover. It reminds me of the photo I shared earlier in the week “the dragonfly lady.” 🙂

Nice words Rosema. I think tattoos are a measure of a persons inner spirit. The more the merrier. Thanks for posting 🙂

I’m really drawn to the term “brave symbols.” Tattoos are often marks of war, aren’t they? But they can hide what’s beneath as well. Sister, you reach us and teach us so effectively!
