In a future where prisons are obsolete, the law has found a more permanent form of punishment: tattoos etched onto the skin, declaring every crime committed. The affluent possess the means to conceal their transgressions, their marks hidden beneath sophisticated illusions. For the less fortunate, however, these skin-deep judgments are a constant, public brand, marking them for a life of persecution and exploitation. The society is rigidly divided, with the elite enjoying unparalleled luxury, their comfort built upon the suffering of the tattooed underclass. This system, cloaked in the guise of justice and order, thrives on the subjugation of those it deems criminal, creating a stark, unequal world where freedom is a privilege, not a right. Follow the journey of those marked by the system, navigating a treacherous landscape where every glance can be a sentence and every tattoo a death warrant. As the divide between the haves and have-nots widens, whispers of rebellion begin to stir. Can the tattooed find a way to reclaim their lives, or are they destined to remain forever prisoners of their own skin?
