Synopsis by Maggie Sadler
Filmmaker Alan Govenar takes audiences on a deep dive into the world of tattooing, charting its origins from early Christianity to its popularity amongst seafarers such as Captain James Cook. Govenar's chronicle concludes with a meditation on the ephemeral definition of tattoos in contemporary Western culture, with perspectives contributed by noteworthy tattoo artists such as Don Ed Hardy.
