Critic Reviews for Tattoo Uprising

All Critics (2) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (2)

Hodgepodgey in its storytelling, the film introduces enough appealing characters to hold the interest of a casual viewer; presumably, tattoo-diehards know much of this stuff already.

Top Critic
Tattoo Uprising offers a look into the recent past with a young Ed Hardy, and a wizened Stoney St. Clair, and auteur Werner Herzog in tat-displaying mode.
