Don't answer the phone


Do we ever get an explanation as to why Leonard gets this tattoo?

reply

yes. Leonard needs to see people face to face. Leonard explains this in the film.

I guess so he doesn't answer the phone. He likes to look people in the eye when he talks to them anyway. Maybe so he can try to identify with who he's talking to.
