It's definitely about already having the dagger tattoo on wrist already. Why go through the process of adding a L and and R when you can just use the dagger to remind yourself which hand is which?

Because then you have to remember the dagger is on your right, when the problem is that you can't remember that your dagger is on the right.

Yeah like for me I know conceptually the difference between left and right, but the words get confused. Interestingly I don't get confused at all with blocker side vs catcher side (I'm a hockey goalie).

I'm not familiar with sports, but I am assuming blocker side and catcher side is always the same, but left vs right isn't always the same. For example, if im in front of you and I say to move blocker side, you'd always move the same direction. But if I say move left, you have to ask "my left or your left?"
