Tattoo Nation (2013)
Good Documentary but limited in Scope
6 February 2014 - 3 out of 4 users found this review helpful.
Tattoo Nation is a good tattoo documentary however, this is an incredibly narrow view of tattoo culture. It focuses exclusively on the evolution of the LA Hispanic black and grey gang style tattoos into the mainstream hardly touching on other tattooing styles, origins or impacts.
This is a great documentary if you are part of the So-Cal tattoo culture. As someone from the North East I found the movie interesting but underwhelming. I was hoping for a more broadly based tattoo documentary.
Tattoo Nation is a fairly misleading title. It would have been more accurately named Cali-Tattoo Culture.
As a side note, I do have a mix of both color and black&grey tats in various styles.
