Yikes. I've seen some messed up tattoos, and I've got a couple of unusual ones myself, but none of them... talk to me. Such is the subject of Canadian writer-director Derek Franson's film, The Comforting Skin. The trailer is... it's actually pretty great. It's also a bit disturbing, and more than a little unnerving, especially when it starts to really open up the door into the craziness. Just watch:
