I spent a couple hours with a salesman yesterday. He was young, but very nice, very earnest and well-informed. He wore a long-sleeve shirt, and at one point I noticed the edge of a tattoo peeking out from under his cuff. I really had to suppress the urge to ask him to show me his tattoo, ask him why he got it (or them) and find out the story behind the tattoo(s). Because every tattoo has a story, presumably. But I figured it might embarrass him, or somehow invade his privacy, or something. I assume he wore the long-sleeve shirt without the sleeves rolled up for a reason, since it was hot as blazes. But now I wish I woulda asked him what I wanted to ask him.
