A first ever Singapore-New Zealand film collaboration focuses on a thrilling tale of tattoos and tribesmen in The Tattooist, where the supernatural and the spiritual take over from the ordinary life and tattoos take on a frightening new dimension.
American tattoo artist Jake Sawyer explores and exploits ethnic designs from around the world. At a tattoo expo in Singapore (was there ever one??), he glimpses the exotic world of traditional Samoan tatau in the work of the fiercely proud Alipati and falls in love with Alipati’s attractive cousin, Sina.
A pervasive, angry spirit is unleashed when Jake steals an ancient Samoan tattooing tool, and Jake’s art takes a dangerous turn as everyone he touches faces mortal peril.
Hoping to put an end to this curse, Jake follows the Samoans to Auckland, where he meets an old adversary, tattoo artist Crash and a new one, the respected Samoan elder Aleki Va’a. His investigation takes him on a devastating journey into the dark side of Pacific mysticism. However, Jake has to get through this in order to recover his own soul, save the woman he loves and escape with his life.
It started off like a travelogue for Singapore, and i managed to spot only 2 Singaporean actors in it... other than that, it is nothing scary about the show... watching 881 is more scary than this!! A letdown for a horror-fan like me.
*Zzzzzzz*
