They meet in a Butoh dance class, where Tsuki sees the "pretty pain" in James' moves and is compelled to approach him. James, similarly intrigued by Tsuki, finds out in their conversation that she "only does first ink" and convinces her to tattoo his virgin skin. Tsuki has a process in which she makes a documentary film of her subjects before she drops a needle on them. As they delve into their pasts during interview sessions for the doc, Tsuki and James find solace and acceptance with one another, finally finding the courage to try to live comfortably in their skins.
