Common criticism centered around the films pacing, as reviewers from sites such as DreadCentral felt that the movies plot was too padded and the concept too thin for the 90 minute film length. Bloody Disgusting echoed the same sentiments and expressed frustration over The Tattooist, as they believed that the movie could have been something fresh and original but instead mimicked a bunch of terrible films before it. Shock Till You Drop criticized what they saw as an overabundance of backstory and exposition, explaining that Too much time spent on explaining why works against sustaining a sense of disbelief and The Tattooist is especially ponderous in this regard. In a positive review, David Johnson of DVD Verdict stated the film is a frantic, messy, nasty little horror flick and is worth checking out. ........
