Symbol

“Nice. But it’s one of the seven deadly sins, you know.”

His tattoo. Ever since I’ve resolved to get a tattoo of my own, I’ve been noticing others’ and posing questions when the opportunity arises.

He’s a delivery man, and I see him 3 or 4 times a week. I had just noticed the tattoo that day, though.

It looked like Chinese writing; a few glyphs (if that’s what they’re called) on the back of his neck. Too high to be hidden by a collar.

“What does your tattoo say?” I asked.

“Pride.” he answered.
