Skin Pics
Release Date: 1980-10-01
Overview: A bold reveal of a rose tattoo opens this 1980 documentary on tattooing in New Zealand. The potted history includes visits to tattoo parlours on K' Road and Hastings, and the studios of industry legends Steve Johnson and Roger Ingerton.

Made for documentary slot Contact, Skin Pics chronicles a time when "folk art has become high art".
