Tattoo is a 1981 American erotic thriller film directed by Bob Brooks and starring Bruce Dern and Maud Adams. It depicts the relationship between a fashion model and an eccentric tattoo artist that quickly turns sinister.

Production and release

The film was written by Joyce Buñuel, the daughter-in-law of surrealist artist Luis Buñuel, based on a story by director Bob Brooks. The script impressed Joseph E. Levine who decided to finance the film enirely himself. Brooks made his debut as a feature director.

The film was featured in an April 13, 1980 New York Times article spotlighting films being shot on-location in New York City; the article mistakenly identified Rikke Borge as Dern's love interest.

The tattoo designs seen in the film are credited to Isadore Seltzer, a prolific illustrator and graphic designer known for drawing many Sesame Street Magazine covers.

The film had a contentious post-production and pre-release phase. Producer Joseph E. Levine made edits without informing director Bob Brooks, who wrote an angry letter to Levine accusing him of prioritizing the opinions of "assholes in Los Angeles".

Feminist group Women Against Pornography protested the film for allegedly equating violence with love. Particularly controversial was an image used to promote the film, which featured the nude body of a tattooed woman, shown from the neck down and bound at the ankle. Women Against Pronography defaced the advertisements in the subway, which reportedly delighted Levine, who considered it free publicity.
