Summary of The Tattooist
From Sam Raimi's Ghost House Underground comes this tale of Jake Sawyer (Jason Behr of THE GRUDGE and D-WAR), a young artist who becomes obsessed with learning tatau, the Samoan tradition of tattooing, and gets more than he bargained for. After finding a mysterious ancient tattooing tool at an expo in Singapore, Jake unwittingly releases a vicious spirit. Now he must struggle to save his new love Sina (Mia Blake) and his own soul in this terrifying yarn located in the realm of Western mysticism. Co-penned by Jonathan King, writer-director of the berserk horror-comedy hit BLACK SHEEP (2006), THE TATTOOIST is a great time for any horror fan.
