A YOUNG woman who struggles to tell left from right has had the directions tattooed on her hands in a bid to solve the problem.
D'Kodia Laine, 23, decided to get L and R inked above her thumbs to make sure she will never get confused again.

The student from Canberra, Australia, said she faced ridicule for mixing left and right up, but last year she reached a breaking point.
She said she was selected as team leader during a scavenger hunt at a party and gave the driver wrong directions.
Her friend then penned the letters L and R on her hands, which is when D'Kodia joked about getting them tattooed.
'SUPER FUNCTIONAL'
But when she visited artist Lauren Winzer at the Hunter And Fox Tattoo studio, the communications student decided to actually get the unusual tattoos.
D'Kodia told Daily Mail Australia: "It started as a joke but it's actually super useful and I don't look dumb making an L with my fingers to figure it out."
The tattoo artist published a photo of the tattoos on her Instagram profile with the caption: "Not only are tattoos cute, but they can also be super functional. Good luck with all your future directions, happy to guide you."

Another wrote: "Me when I learn to drive."
One more added: "Have I not said I wanted this done?!"
