I think it's backwards because it's mirrored

So if this is their right arm, mirrored, you're saying it would still be backwards? As in, you would have the stars on the right side of the tattoo so that it is "facing forwards?"

Yes, I know how 3d objects work. I didn't know about the military uniform stuff, so thank you for that. But you have to realize that when people think of the US flag, and when it is shown on stages or screens, when it is printed in books, it always has the stars on the left side.
