A tortured tattooist sets out to save her clients -- who are being possessed by the tattoos she gave them -- and in the process ends up saving herself. Dee is a despairing painter wracked with self-doubt and scratching out a living as a cheap Vegas tattoo artist. When her clients become possessed by their tattoos, she sets out to save them armed only with a machete and steely determination. But as the blood flows and the body count rises, Dee realises she must overcome her own personal demons if she is to have any hope of saving the others from a fate worse than death.
