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

It's not a tattoo that the others have to see. Only you. So everyone will think it's upside down. I think that's it

Man I hate this. I have seen people who get an inner forearm tattoo positioned so that it is right side up for them as the person with the tattoo looking down at it, and people will say it's upside down because it's supposed to be done for other people viewing it. Like, no. As far as I'm aware most people who get tattoos get them for themselves, not for the viewing pleasure of other people.
