Thomas Davis follows up his impressive series of videos for NOISY - most recently the wonderfully bonkers Young Dumb - with something just as off-the-wall for the returning Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes.Unsurprisingly for the heavily tattooed tattoo artist-rocker with a song called Go Get A Tattoo, the video is set in a tattoo parlour. A nervous young man enters to have his first ever tattoo applied by Frank - but what happens next is much less predictable.When Frank's needle hits, and the customer howls in pain, we enter a darker, nightmarish world where Frank and the band tauntingly peform Go Get A Tattoo, and as the young man attempts to escape he is confronted by the rubber-masked presence of featured artist Lynks - emerging from a toilet. Davis and his team provide a stream of 'house of horror' sight gags - mostly created in-camera, with an added smidgeon of VFX - as the poor devil careers through his psychedelic nightmare, and finally imagine he is being consumed by his own tattoo design. It's a terrific vehicle for Frank Carter's no-holds-barred take on rock 'n roll - his tattooing skills, not so much...
