The Cursed Tattoo Needles
27 March 2024
In Chinatown, the compulsive gambler Tommy Chen is a loser that owes money everywhere to keep his vicious, including to the dangerous owner of casino, Frankie Wong. After losing a large amount of money to Hai Kwan, Tommy follows the man and learns his secret to win. Kwan uses ancient tattoo needles to tattoo a woman and returns to the table. The tattoo comes to life and kills the woman, and Kwan wins lots of money. When Kwan leaves the casino, Tommy follows him and kills him to rob the case of needles. When his grandfather Lum Chen sees the case with the needles, he calls Jack to get rid of the evil object. But Tommy flees before Jack, Ryan and Micki arrive at his grandfather's home. Now, they need to find Tommy that continues his crime spree to win the game and make money.

"Tattoo" is a good episode of "Friday the 13th: The Series", with the story of an addicted gambler that does not hesitate to kill to win the game. Tommy Chen is capable to hit his grandfather, tattoo his sister with the cursed needles and steal the family to support his addiction. His fate in the end is deserved. My vote is seven.
