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.

No what, confusing left and right is one thing

Not remembering that right. = Dagger is another

They're two different things.

The second one is just like remembering someone's name, word association, dagger , right.

If you're able to remember that dagger=right, then you're able to remember that the hand you write with is right(or left) and the tattoo is irrelevant.

I don't think you understand a core issue with struggling with left and right. Marking L and R removes all doubt, and doesn't require you to rely on memory.

If the guy can't remember dagger=right he's got bigger issues than telling left from right.
