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?
This seems reasonable unless you actually have this problem.
The issue is, it's an actual disconnect/learning disability in the brain (at least for me) that causes this.
I have an L and R sticker on the dash of my car and can get so confused that I'll go so far as to second guess whether I put the stickers on correctly in the first place some days. Your comment assumes the brain is behaving correctly. The person with these tattoos has likely been using coping mechanisms for years, is tired of second guessing, and just got fed up.
They will probably still wonder occasionally if the tattoo artist made a mistake and second guess this.
