Directed by Seijun Suzuki, Tattooed Life follows two brothers on the run after a violent incident, moving through different locations while trying to avoid the consequences of their past. The story unfolds through encounters shaped by loyalty, conflict and changing circumstances. The narrative combines elements of movement and personal tension within a crime-linked setting.

Tetsuo (Hideki Takahashi, Fighting Elegy), a low-level yakuza is double-crossed by his boss and attacked. His younger brother Kenji (Kotobuki Hananomoto, This Transient Life), an aspiring artist with no connections to crime, comes to his aid and kills Tetsuos assailant. Fearing repercussions from the yakuza they flee to Manchuria where they risk coming under suspicion of rival gangs. Seijun Suzuki (Branded to Kill) remains loyal to the conventions of the yakuza film, but Tattooed Life contains flashes of his later creative genius, including a final act of explosive visual excess that has become one of the directors all-time classic scenes.
