I'd love to take credit for it but I got it from Sabine on STM. There are a few more there too. It's from the central park show with Sheryl Crow. Rocco's sporting a new tattoo.

Does anyone know anything about tattoos? What is the symbolism of a dagger? Of course it'd probably make more sense just to ask him sometime...

Does anyone know anything about tattoos? What is the symbolism of a dagger... The ancient Aztecs used special ceremonial daggers to cut the still beating hearts out of their human sacrifices as they paid homage to their Gods. Such a dagger represented the fearsome and capricious power of the Gods. Throughout the Middle East, in Babylon, Mesopotamia, Persia and many other cultures, knives were used to kill animals on special altars to sacrifice them to the Gods. The image of a knife and blood-letting and death are all firmly intertwined. The ability to spill blood, the very essence of life, is an extraordinarily powerful image and a very potent symbol. At its most primal level, the knife or dagger represents Death. Daggers and knives are present in many Military tattoos because of their use as a weapon - perfect for close fighting and because of their silence. Special Forces Units are particularly prone to using daggers in their regimental and unit crests. The symbolism of a knife or dagger tattoo in a military design is very similar to that of a sword, with perhaps a slightly less noble pedigree. The knife or dagger represents ferocity, quickness, tenacity and death at the hands of another. The knife can also represent an assassin. As a weapon, the knife and dagger go back to the most ancient of times, and the sword evolved as a weapon in an arm's race to make the biggest, most dangerous and most powerful dagger. All knights and noblemen carried daggers as weapons in addition to their spears and lances and swords, because a knife or dagger was literally a fighting man's last line of defense. When you and an enemy were face to face, when your spear was thrown or broken, when your sword was struck from your hand, you still had a chance - you reached for the knife or dagger in your belt. Definitions of mercy on the Web: clemency: leniency and compassion shown toward offenders by a person or agency charged with administering justice; "he threw himself on the mercy ... mercifulness: a disposition to be kind and forgiving; "in those days a wife had to depend on the mercifulness of her husband" mercifulness: the feeling that motivates compassion something for which to be thankful; "it was a mercy we got out alive" alleviation of distress; showing great kindness toward the distressed; "distributing food and clothing to the flood victims was an act of mercy" So I guess put the 2 together and come up with something!

Yes! Like find mercy on his soul. means find compassion, a break, one time major screw up and lets forgive and move on! Love the thinking of what it could mean for sure, cause so many ways to think about it, for me. If you want to kill someone or hurt them with a dagger, pay them back for hurting you, think before, find mercy in what they did and the reasonings behind it, and if you actually do cause harm or revenge, was it all worth it, can you live with the anger that it caused you and can u forgive yourself for letting you get to that point of not finding mercy.. Make sense?
