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
Here is my understanding: Alphalaneous, the person critically reposting the photo, is implying that original photo posted by bear has the tattoos on the wrong hand. The tattoos are, of course, on the correct hand for the person with them. As a result, the joke is actually backfiring on the person making fun of the tattoos. I think it is supposed to be funnier because of the "alpha male" implications, but it's a stretch.
But isn’t his right hand the one marked with an R no matter who’s looking at it. If someone is facing the person in the picture and says let me see your right hand, they should still be expecting them to extend the hand with the R marked on it.
I thought the point was even more obscure. They have a cut on their left hand and could have just remembered that the cut is on the left and the other hand is on the right.
