Hannah (33) and Rachel (30) are Jewish sisters with baggage. Today, they have agreed to get their first tattoos together.
Stuck side by side in the chair with nothing to do but talk, they are forced to confront a shared history that's as painful as it is hilarious. When their tattoos are finished, we learn, with the gentlest touch, that Rachel has had a double mastectomy and her new tattoo repurposes the scars into something beautiful. Hannah has accompanied her for support. Her own tattoo is a show of solidarity.
Sometimes healing is skin deep.
