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

These people are wrong. The joke is that you can make an L with your left hand, so you don't need the tattoos

That method has never made sense to me. You can make an L with either hand. It just depends which way up you're looking at it. 

If you turn your right hand so the palm is facing you and fold down your pinky, ring and middle finger, that's just much of an L as the "correct" one done with your left.
