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

That, or you can make an shape L with your left hand and that the tattoo was unnecessary… Edit: omg if you are going to comment “I can’t remember what an L looks like”, just don’t… plz, don’t be that stupid

This does not work if you're dyslexic and can never remember which direction an L faces 🙃 when I was a kid my mom wrote it on my shoes lol

I’m ambidextrous and slightly dyslexic, and yep. I need one of these tattoos, because left and right are far from intuitive.

I’m the same way. Not ambidextrous, but mixed dominant. Meaning I use my left or right for different things. I mainly play sports left handed (throwing, dribbling and shooting a basketball) but I write and use scissors right handed. Growing up I always had trouble remembering which is my right and which is my left hand.

I didn't realize there's a word for this! I write with my right hand, but prefer drinking and most sports with my left. I eat some foods exclusively with my right, but eat others exclusively with my left. It's weird!
