Special Achievement in Documentary

Tattoo, as a cultural practice, goes back thousands of years and has held ritual significance, aesthetic significance and more for cultures. Now the world is experiencing a tattoo mania. At its core are a group of highly skilled, dedicated Tattoo artists who haven't always been willing to acknowledge their own artistry for fear of being too 'establishment'. Two premier tattoo artists set out to change this with the ArtFusion Experiment - a project of collaborative creation on paper and canvas that is a direct outgrowth of collaborative tattoo. Their experiment has unexpected results with thousands of participating artists from over 40 countries and even more fans.
Running time: 66min.
Special features include over 2 additional hours of extended scenes and footage!
