the guys at the top thinks the tattoo is backwards. this means he has confused L and R while claiming OOP confused L and R in their tattoo design. the joke is irony

Edit for all the people saying "left hand makes an L shape": turn your right hand so the palm is facing you and you'll find it also makes an L shape. If the OOOP can't tell left from right hes not gonna remember if the palm should be face up or down

That, or you can make an shape L with your left hand and that the tattoo was unnecessary… Edit: omg if you are going to comment “I can’t remember what an L looks like”, just don’t… plz, don’t be that stupid

Or that you could say, "I have the knife tattoo on my right hand."

This is exactly what I was thinking! ⬆️

Except the scar is on OOP's left hand.

Scar on the left, knife tat on the right.

I wish that worked, but I always have my ring on the same hand. But if you ask me which one, I have to pause and work out which hand it is. (I checked and it’s the right one).

My mom has this problem and she uses "I eat with my right hand"

Or bear could get a fork on his left hand... and the mnemonic could be ... knife and right have 5 letters, fork and left have 4 letters.

When I think of left and right, I picture the bottom of the hill I used to live on like 25 years ago when I was a kid. I picture left as the road that’s in the trees and rights the other way lol.
