Why are the tattoos on the other side of his face in these pictures? (say, the one connected to his eye). Is that something that happens when you take a selfie v normal picture?

The reddit picture is mirrored, look at the Texas tattoo.

Edit: sorry, had read your question wrong at first, but yes, it's probably from using the selfie camera: https://blinksandbuttons.net/why-selfie-camera-shows-mirror-image/

Thanks, no worries. You'd think at 50 I'd know but don't really take many pictures, certainly not selfies.

It would have been an elaborate ruse to say the least :). The thing I can't get over are his teeth, they're immaculate lol

I actually suspect that if our selfie camera was not mirrored, that we would instantly notice and be weirded out by it. We're just used to looking at our own face in a mirror, so in that way it looks normal and we don't think about it.

I sure would be. If I raised my left hand and my mirrored image also raised their left hand, I would have lots of questions.

or, hear me out, maybe there are two of these twats, mirror images of each other, with matching meth pipes and lol no I just can't....
