a sign of true love

I have always wanted to learn Morse Code. People find this ridiculous. Where would you use it?, they ask. Why, I reply, anytime I had:
•a flashlight
•a hand I was holding
•a message to tell a friend at a café when I didn't want anyone else to hear
•a bell
•a kazoo
•an injury that prevents me from writing anything other than dots and dashes
•to be quiet in a theater

Clearly, this is something one could still use in everyday life. This got me thinking about Braille, which I would also like to learn. This got me thinking about how one of my friend's has a tattoo that is raised--it feels scar-like when you brush against it.

My roommate was hearing my ramble through all of these thoughts. She piled them together in what we believe would be a remarkable sign of affection if a blind person's significant other got this raised tattoo in Braille. What a lovely gesture.
