An autobiographical documentary in which the filmmakers uses his elaborate decision-making process about whether or not to get a tattoo as a jumping-off point for a larger discussion of youth, rebellion, and regret. As he interviews those who tattoo, who are tattooed, and who are firmly opposed to the tattoo, other issues of social class, art, and self-esteem arise in this humorous exploration of the need to be permanently marked.

""The urge to ornament one's face and everything within reach is the very origin of visual arts. It is the babbling of painting."" — Adolf Loos
