When food shopping, there are a few essentials you always need. You'll often grab the closest biro and scribble them on your arm by way of reminder
Dispense with such frivolities.
Have tattooed on your arm Milk, Bread, Cheese, Jaffa Cakes, under which, tattoo a line and the word "Other items".
Biro in the other ephemerals.
reminds me of Memento, tattoo solution to short-term memory loss

This 1994 Dana Carvey movie predated "Memento", and it had an audience ...sorta. For a laugh, though, read the Customer Reviews on this site for several examples indicating why you should not consider tattoos if spelling is not one of your acquired skills. I especially liked the use of the word "suddle". [jurist, Oct 17 2004]

How about tattooing them where they would be used? "Hand soap" on your hand. "Deodorant" in your armpit. "Toilet tissue" on your...never mind, it wouldn't work my way. |

Sure, go ahead. Do it. Feel free. Be my guest. Power to ya. Right on. Whatever. Lead the way. (-) |

L*O*V*E, H*A*T*E, Matilda, Chicago Bears, milk, sugar, Eric, condoms, Arsenal, cheese straws... |

Seems like the idea of useful tattoos would have existed already, but I couldn't find it. The idea extends to frequently-used phone numbers, common measurement conversion formulas, and mathematical equations you can never quite recall. |

[lostdog] [farmerjohn] I never really understoof why, in Memento, Guy Pearce's character didn't just buy a dictaphone ... surely easier/less expensive than tattooing all necessary information on your body. |

You can afford to buy Arsenal [po]? Can I borrow Thierry Henry for a few hours then? |
|

How about just writing everything on a small piece of paper, laminating it into a card, and keeping it in your wallet or purse? Less committment, more privacy. Come on, when you're 70 yrs old do you really want the whole world glancing at your arm and knowing that Prunes are essential? |

Hazel, don't you think Jose Antonio Reyes the bees knees? |
|
| |
He's pretty handy [po] but I think Thiery will be better for what I had in mind <g>. Football wise though, if Jose fancies a loan period at Watford I'd be happy! |
|

Rugy players, football players - bring em on! |
|
| |
What, hurling and lacrosse are suddenly (heh!) out of fashion? ...But what's this to do with tattoos for the paper deprived? |
|

Baked in the movie "Momento" |
|
| |
If you look carefully at his tatoos, beyond the revenge stuff he has things like "wash" "change clothes" "remember to eat" |
|
| |
err. the thought just crossed my mind: what if for your school exams you got tattoos of all the useful stuff you needed to know.. they couldn't get you to cover everything up. |
