A sensual, wildly surreal tale follows courtesan Ayame, who is drawn to the humble street vendor Kisuke and plans to flee with him for America. A deranged tattoo artist, obsessed with her flawless skin, murders Kisuke to keep her in Japan. She is later sold to a Yokohama brothel, where Kisuke’s restless spirit possesses her, leaving his likeness tattooed across her body whenever she makes love.
