Tattoo, a Love Story

Tattoo is, still unacceptable things commonly especially to Asian nations, still regards as some extreme things for young guys , still being sth strange to most of square people.

But this story gives perfect description by astringent and sprouting love.

Virgil , the naive tattoo man, is so impressive to make the contrast to the mundane thinking on tattoo things.

Another good slide of this film also shows the great way to perform the art of rebelling or liberating. Not too critical,not too serious , try to choose your life or the way to think about it . These are sth sth to touch people.

Tattoo: A Love Story is a courageous independent film that explores the lives of ordinary working people and how they influence each other. Richard Bean is a real up-and-coming director. I'd like to see him interpret a Kurt Vonnegut story in the cinema medium

I actually stumbled on this little gem when it was playing in theaters here and couldn't say enough for friends to see it; now I can buy it and show them what they missed!

I have never been in a movie where the audience consistently laughed throughout the ENTIRE movie (well, there was "Anchorman"...). It's an odd little masterpiece: the leading man is an overweight biker, the leading woman is stunning (but not yet famous in other films) somewhat unsure school teacher, a typical setting is a sushi bar in downtown Boise, Idaho -- and it charms and gets you laughing 'til you don't want it to end.

It's also a gentle film: you can show your parents this and they'll be laughing too, even though it's about tattoos and sex and rebellion... and rated "R". This is a world where the "Extra" who's rowing past in boat says "hi"; and the leads' friends keep popping up and had the theater roaring. Very original, quirky, surprising fun... glad my fav. little film is finally out to show others what I was talking about.

So now I can put it on my shelf now: a sweet little romantic comedy that's smart in its humor -- that nobody can say "I've seen that already."

You'll be loaning it to friends.

I never go to a rental store with a film in mind; I'd rather stumble across one without expectations. When I came across Tattoo: A Love Story, I decided to give it a shot. Am I glad I did! I thought this indie film was cute and funny, full of romance and also a great theme (never be afraid to be original and never shy away from who you are). I loved the tattoo Virgil draws for her (I won't say what it is) and have decided to make that the next tattoo I get. And, although this has nothing really to do with the movie, I think Virgil is very adorable. He clearly wasn't afraid to be himself (what with the sushi-eating and film rentals.) If anyone sees this movie at their favorite rental store, I recommend that they rent it (or even buy it) because it will remain a love story about tattoos ... or a tattoo story about love.

This is one of those small, quirky films that rarely see the day of light,and most of the time end up on a dusty video shelf. Pity for those who miss it, because "Tattoo, A Love Story" leaves a mark, with it's funny dialogue, fine performances and overall with it's honesty. Clearly this is not a film that tries to be great, but what it tries to do it does well, charm you and ever so often leave you with a smirk on your face. In a time where many films try to be too original or too smart for their own good, where many films just rely on a familiar name with cliché on top of cliché, "Tattoo, a love story" comes over like a good flirt, honest, charming, warm, funny.It is never really original, but for some magical reason it works, like a joke you've heard before, but cracks you up whenever you hear it. Don't miss, it's 90 minutes of fun.
