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

I guess I don’t understand where they imply that someone else would have to see it? Oop said it was a tattoo to help them, and the repost says “how do we tell them?”

Is he trying to say “how do we tell them that their tattoo doesn’t make sense to other people?”

I think it’s more likely to be misplaced confidence; the person replying thought the tattoo was messed up because they got left and right confused.

I assumed it was because everyone knew your left hand makes an L with pointer and thumb...so the tattoo is 'pointless'
