Last episode of the season for our Idea Tattoo Sitcom, the first web based tattoo sitcom, written and produced by Idea Tattoo monthly magazine and directed by Thomas Cicognani.
The tattoo sitcom is set in a fictional tattoo studio but the last four episodes were filmed at a real tattoo convention, Ti-Tattoo in Lugano, one of the most important Swiss tattoo events.
In the series there are two main characters, they are the comical characters Max&Franz, two hilarious and mad tattooers, managing partners of a fictional tattoo studio which is the backdrop for many adventures and a great number of gags.
Max&Franz are played by the Italian actors Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba and Ettore Nicoletti respectively, and they are often supported by Huldo (actor Uldino Amodeo), a very expressive comical character who often steal the show from the main actors!
There is another star in our tattoo sitcom, it appears in every single episode and you all know it very well: it's Idea Tattoo, the tattoo designs magazine!!
