In 2001, a documentary that uncovered the dying art of Russian criminal tattoos was released called The Mark of Cain. It is a brilliant and objective piece of documentary filmmaking that has had a subtle, yet profound influence on the tattoo world since then. The director/ producer, Alix Lambert, is an artist based in New York City, and I was eager to find out more from her.
