Per the title text: I've overheard various people mention, usuallt in arguments, tattooing information to prevent it being forgotten. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.68.147|172.69.68.147]] 22:06, 20 December 2019 (UTC) M.Striker<br />

Reminds me of [https://www.ikea.com/se/sv/p/markerad-matta-kort-lugg-vit-svart-00434753/ this rug] (sold by IKEA), which looks like a giant receipt of the very same rug. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.111.187|162.158.111.187]] 23:09, 20 December 2019 (UTC)<br />
: Getting all information on that receipt correct would be quite challenge even with pre-ordering ... -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 23:13, 20 December 2019 (UTC)<br />

The tattoo subtext makes me think it's referring to the 2001 film 'Memento', a film noir in which the main character tries to solve a mystery while suffering from amnesia so he carries a bundle of clippings from motel-room to motel-room and has the most important clues tattooed onto his body.<br />
