An Unforgettable Experience... Must See!

'Tattoo, A Love Story,' a little known movie found in a little known DVD store. I don't read the back of a dvd covers as I don't want it to prejudice me in any way. The way I choose movies is simple, if I haven't seen it I grab it. For some reason I've always neglected to borrow this one.

It's one of those movies where 10 mins into it I'm immediately chastising myself for not grabbing it all those times I glanced at it but then moved on! Two extremly unorthodox people, seemingly complete opposites of one another come together to share some memorable life experiences.

I didn't like tattoos for many decades until one day I looked beyond the stigma that follows them and instead saw the talent, art and stories behind them. I love how this movie was as realistic to life as you'd get and did not shy away from some of our lesser qualities as humans. This movie showed that people need to more accepting if not of what a person does or who they are, but of learning about these aspects before they judge. It's fine to not like something but try to learn about it so you then have basis for that opinion. Be with someone for who they are not what they are. You'll be the one with them, not your family and friends and I think this movie really highlighted this extremely well.

There has always been a certain stigma against people with tattoos as there is with many other things in life. By spending time with Virgil, Sara became a stronger more confident young lady regardless of whether the two would have stayed together or not.

Drama, romance, humor, dignity, honesty, spirit, pain, sorrow, warmth, understanding, laughter, acceptance, it had it all!

Brilliant work from these actors and non-actors who had me feeling as if I was eavesdropping on a real-life family drama. The chemistry between Megan and Virgil was very convincing, I just wanted to put my arms around him and whisper it'll be OK. I noticed he hasn't done anything since which is disappointing, he has a natural talent and I'd love to see him do more movies.

A definite must-see and not just a chick flick!!
