The tattoo artist who inked rockstars — then vanished into his own skin.
Born with a silver spoon, Jonathan Shaw chose, at the height of his career as a tattoo artist, to give up on his celebrity lifestyle in order to escape from his own vicious cycle.
Acting
Shaw himself — unfiltered, magnetic, refusing redemption arcs.
Cinematography
Tattoo close-ups that turn flesh into living canvas.
Writing
Narrative structured like a fading buzz — intentional, haunting.
Director
Lucas de Barros
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shaw ran the legendary Fun City tattoo parlor on St. Marks Place, where his client list included everyone from Kurt Cobain to the Ramones.
The film arrives as tattoo culture has been fully co-opted by luxury branding — making Shaw's rejection of fame feel almost prophetically alien.
