[Tittleton]

@Anisya It sure is, it's a little strange but I enjoyed it.

Robert Mitchum is The Man in that one. Such a good movie.

Other favorite;

also from same movie

and while I am on the subject of french prison tattoos

Les vrais, les durs, les tatous - Nos Livres - Tatouage - Boutique Larivi?re

I can't read french but I bet the pictures are cool

Not a film, but one of the best tattoo plot devices.

Prison Break:

Memento - great movie!

I have no picture, but the Girl with a Dragon Tattoo is the immediate one that comes to mind. I liked the suspense of the movie, but imo the tattoo wasn't the greatest.

Found the picture:

I think Japanese yakuza movies from the 60's/70's have some of the best movie tattoos. They also prove that tattoos other than tribal can still be very legible on screen. I think it's safe to say that watching these movies as a kid is the very reason why I have an interest in tattoos today.

Here's a trailer from a movie called "Tales of Chivalrous Women: The Chivalrous Geisha". 0:32 and 3:02.

Takakura Ken is a badass!

Edward Norton's Ace up his sleeve in Rounders comes to mind. It's a prison tattoo, which suggests certain things. Stuff and things. Good movie.

OK, not a movie but a TV series, "Blindspot". I haven't watched it but might later if it isn't just another cop show.

Anyone here like/dislike it?

I've been watching it and like it,kinda cool cop show,

the only thing I don't like is her tattoos are not done very well IMO,

they look more like stencil color to me,and they are not exactly the same in every scene & show,the ones on her neck show a lot,I know it's probably difficult to get them the same every show,but the color is off to me,the color doesn't look real IMO
