i DIDN'T MEan TO BUMP IT oh GoD LET THiS DIE

Because there is one. And so few people recognize it.
The first symbol represents love, and, niceness. The second represents the devil, can be used either to protect oneself from evil, or to wish it onto others. Commonly used in metal & rock music as a fun symbol with little to no real belief to back it up.
So don't make yourself look like an fool, unless you are trying to show your affection for something, use the second symbol. Or better yet, don't use either. Unless you have real reason to, there is really no need.

I have had this sitting in my unfinished drawing for, ages. Like, a long time. At first it started as me just doodling some hands, which I needed (and still need) practice on then, then turned into me venting my anger at those who constantly use the wrong hand symbols. You have no idea how many times I have seen people make this mistake.
I also felt like trying out this weird shading thing. It was fun, but I think I'll stick to my normal shading.
Oh yeah, the nails are sharp because I used my own hands as a reference, and I love me some sharp nails.

So there you go. You might have just learned something. You might not have. Either way, I like this picture.

And there's a little sign of the horns text symbol for you.
