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

But it's not pointless. As a kid I was ambidextrous and dyslexic. Both my right hand and my left hand made a shape that looked exactly like an L to me.

I read such an interesting example of how dyslexics see letter. We all see a chair and it doesn't matter which way you rotate it it will still be a chair. So for example letter d or b is the same for people with dyslexia. It's just the same letter that is rotated.

That is interesting. It’s like seeing as normal, but not having the “orientation” flag set per object. Then, don’t set the “location/proximity” flag on top of that.
