Set in the 1930s, Tattooed Life is the story of two brothers: Kenji, an art student, and Tetsu, who is working as a yakuza to help pay for Kenjis tuition. When a hit job goes horribly wrong, the brothers flee. They end up finding work in a mineand falling in love with the owners wife and daughter. But will Tetsus gang tattoos reveal the brothers secret past? The first film to earn Suzuki a warning about going too far from his Nikkatsu bosses, Tattooed Life contains one of his most iconic and audacious violations of film form: a final fight scene in which the floor suddenly and illogically disappears, and the action is filmed from below the actors feet.
