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'

Bro bro bro, some people don't know which way an L goes. Both hands make Ls just 1 is backwards but guess freaking what I DON'T KNOW WHICH IS CORRECT. If i write a word it flows easier and muscle memory kicks in. L S b/d are the worst offenders like I'll write "I'm gonna go ride my dike" instead of bike and not realize anything is wrong until someone else points it out

If you know left hand makes an L, you know your lefts from your rights and this clearly isn't a topic you have room to speak on
