The Tattooist
Evil in ink.
Directed by Peter Burger
Produced by Eyeworks Touchdown, Daydream Productions
A supernatural horror-thriller that uses Samoan mysticism and tattoo culture as the vehicle for a curse narrative, blending cultural exploration with spiritual dread.
American tattoo artist Jake Sawyer wanders the world, exploring and exploiting ethnic themes in his tattoo designs. At a tattoo expo in Singapore, he gets his first glimpse at the exotic world of traditional Samoan tattoo (tatau), and, in a thoughtless act, unwittingly unleashes a powerful angry spirit. In his devastating journey into Pacific mysticism, Jake must find a way to save his new love, Sina and recover his own soul.
