"The only risk from a tattoo is... addiction... or is it amputation?"
From people with tattoo's on every body part, to tattoo's for
the blind, Pillay-Evans Productions will take you on a visually stunning, and
sometimes disturbing journey into the world of tattoo's in their feature
documentary ‘Tattoo's: A Scarred History'.
The film takes
a sociological look at tattoos and tries to answer the question of why tattoos
have become such a large part of today's society. From interviews with
sociologists, psychologists, historians and counsellors, we explore the history
of tattoo's, from serial killers to royals, sailors to asylum seekers,
and perhaps the most powerful tattoo of all time, the one given to Auschwitz
prisoners.
We take a wide look at the world of tattoos from ancient civilisations
that believed it was a right of passage, to religious leaders who feel it is
breaking one of the Ten Commandments. We also delve into the minds of people
to discover their emotional and personal reasons for getting a tattoo, including
Meg Gaffney's powerful story as she seeks a tattoo artist to replicate
her nipples after battling cancer.
Incorporated into the various segments will
be celebrity interviews and their stories. With a portion of the films profits
going to children's charity Angelwish, who provide over 4000 wishes to
terminally ill children every year worldwide, and shot in black and white with
only the tattoo's colourised, ‘Tattoo's: A Scarred History' is
a must see, visual treat for all film fans regardless of whether you love or
hate tattoo's.
