First it’s carved onto your skin, then it crawls through your veins, spreading throughout your body. The next moment you’re left screaming and wriggling while the tattooing tool rips your skin, leaving you lying in a pool of ink and blood.
While The Tattooist is meant to be a drama and suspense film, there really is a cultural lesson behind all the horror and thrills. In their 1st co-production, Singapore’s Mediacorp Raintree Pictures, New Zealand’s Eyeworks Touchdown, Daydream Productions and The New Zealand Film Commission bring us a story which revolves around Samoan culture, bringing viewers a taste of Singapore, New Zealand and also America.

Who is The Tattooist?

American Tattooist Jake Sawyer (Jason Behr) is a “fast food” tattoo artist who’s always on the search for new tattoos that supposedly have healing powers. One who takes life as it is and goes wherever the wind blows, Jake steals an ancient Samoan tattooing tool in an encounter with the fierce Samoan tattooist, Alipati (Robbie Magasiva).

As Jake is drawn to Alipati’s beautiful cousin, Sina (Mia Blake) and the relationship between the 2 blooms, the evil spirit attached to the tattooing tool starts inflicting harm on those whom Jake tattoos. Victoria (Caroline Cheong), a feisty Singaporean girl and Lazlo (John Bach), an old tattoo enthusiast are sent to mortal peril after getting a tattoo done by Jake. Unfortunately, before Jake realises that he’s the evil spirit’s tool to killing the innocent souls, he gives Sina a tattoo as well.

In the midst of attempting to save Sina, Jake and Alipati uncover a shameful secret that Sina’s uncle, Mr Va’a (David Fane), who used to be a tufuga (tattooist), is hiding. Behind this secret lies the reason why the tool is possessed.
