Jay Crownover

Marked Men (2025) spins around a crew of tattoo artists and the crazily tangled lives they lead. You’ve got Rule, the moody artist with more baggage than a discount airline, trying to keep his business afloat while dodging his past. The shop’s basically a second home for a band of misfits—each with their own drama, secrets, and ink-covered stories. There’s love, heartbreak, wild nights, and more than a few questionable decisions. Seriously, nobody in this movie gets off easy. As the crew struggles to hold their found-family together, old wounds and new romances keep colliding. Tattoos become more than skin deep—they’re marks of pain, pride, rebellion, or just a desperate attempt to start over. Oh, and don’t expect things to stay calm for long. Rivals from the past show up, relationships explode, and betrayals sting worse than a fresh tattoo on sunburned skin. Crownover doesn’t shy away from raw emotion or the messiness of real life. The story’s got grit, heart, and a wicked sense of humor that keeps you rooting for these beautifully flawed characters, even when they crash and burn. By the end, you’ll probably want to hug your tattoo artist or maybe just rethink that drunken tattoo idea. Either way, it’s a wild ride you won’t forget.
