Plot
The film is set in Recife in the 70's, and follows the story of Clcio Wanderley, the leader of the theatrical troupe Cho de Estrelas, which performs concerts full of debauchery and nudity. One of the main stars of the team is Paulete, with whom Clcio maintains a friendship. One day, Paulete receives a visit from his brother-in-law, the young Fininha, who is in the army. Enchanted by the universe created by the Cho de Estrelas, he is soon seduced by Clcio. It doesn't take long for them to engage in a romantic relationship, which puts him in a dubious situation: while increasing the bounds with the troupe members, he needs to deal with the existing repression of the army during the dictatorship.

Production
Several stories and real people inspired the plot of 'Tatuagem'. The leader of the theatrical group Cho de Estrelas is based on the Argentine playwright Tlio Carella, who lived in Recife during the 60s. The theater company itself represents the actual experience of anarchic experiential troupe "Vivencial", which existed in the second half of the 70s.[http://www.adorocinema.com/filmes/filme-221565/curiosidades/ Tatuagem : Curiosidades - AdoroCinema]
After six weeks of preparation of cast, filming took place in the cities of Recife and Olinda in 2011.
