Tat\u2019s useful. <\/p>\n

An Australian woman who struggles to distinguish \u201cright\u201d from \u201cleft\u201d got the directions tattooed on her hands to ensure that she never confuses them again. A photo of her handy tattoos racked up over almost 4,000 likes in less than 24 hours. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt started as a joke but it\u2019s actually super useful and I don\u2019t look dumb making an L with my fingers to figure it out,\u201d D\u2019Kodia Laine told the Daily Mail<\/a> of turning her hands into instruction manuals. <\/p>\n

Since she was little, the 23-year-old Canberra native had reportedly been teased over her inability to differentiate \u201cleft\u201d and \u201cright.\u201d However, things came to a head during a scavenger hunt with friends last year, when Laine instructed the driver to take \u201ca few wrong turns.\u201d<\/p>\n

A quick-thinking friend gave her a hand a la the movie \u201cMemento\u201d by writing \u201cR\u201d and \u201cL\u201d on her respective mitts, prompting the communications student to joke that she should get the directions inked on. After mulling it over, she indeed decided to make the solution permanent. <\/p>\n

Laine got her instructional body art done by Sydney\u2019s Lauren Winzer, who posted photos of the tattoos on Instagram<\/a> on Feb. 3. She wrote: \u201cNot only are tattoos cute, but they can also be super functional !!! good luck with all ur future directions happ<\/a>y to help guide you\u00a0@dkodia<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Laine\u2019s friends had amusing reactions to seeing her new ink for the first time. <\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018I just got a lot of laughing back and [messages like], \u2018oh you were being serious!’\u201d she said. Laine added that her boyfriend is \u201cgrateful that now he won\u2019t get secondhand embarrassment\u201d from her directional dyslexia. <\/p>\n

Social media<\/a> lauded her \u201cpermanent markers.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI love this! I definitely need to do this myself\u201d commented one. <\/p>\n

Others tagged their direction-challenged friends in the comments. <\/p>\n

\u201cCould come in handy,\u201d quipped one wit.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on the comments on the photo on Lauren\u2019s page it seems to be a tattoo a lot of people are saying they need so I don\u2019t feel too dumb now,\u201d Ms. Laine said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And in the realm of irreversible ink jobs, hers is a lot more understandable (not to mention, safe) than this gentleman\u2019s Avatar-evoking full body tat or this grotesque eyeball tattoo that left a woman unable to see. <\/p><\/div>\n
