A few years ago I watched Alix Lambert’s “The Mark of Cain” — a fascinating documentary about Russian criminal tattoos, what they mean and the messages that they convey. If you liked David Cronenberg’s “Eastern Promises”– which starred Viggo Mortensen and Naomi Watts — I think you’ll enjoy this film, as it served to inspire its making. And you can now watch it, in its entirety, on YouTube.
About Lambert’s film, Cronenberg said, “This is a very courageous documentary…I don’t know how it ever got made, but it’s beautiful, scary, and heartbreaking.” Watch it below…

Every tat has a story, but if you have barb wire around your bicep you are just a douche.
