Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, as the son of jazz bandleader Artie Shaw and Hollywood starlet Doris Dowling, Jonathan Shaw’s teenage years were marked by rebellion against the glamorous life of his parents and extreme aversion to his mother’s alcoholism. After almost dying of a heroin overdose in his 20s, Jonathan became the go-to tattoo artist in New York City. His studio opened in 1993, four years before tattooing was legal in Manhattan. Amongst the people who visited the shop were Johnny Depp, Jim Jarmusch and Iggy Pop. Going deep into the psyche of our character, the documentary explores how a man, at the height of his career as a tattoo artist, chose to give up on his celebrity lifestyle in order to escape from his own vicious cycle.
