i remember seeing this movie on a television "double-feature" show when i was a kid. details are very sketchy, but i remember a main character having a dragon tattoo, maybe on his back, and it kept getting bigger and bigger. he was trying to find someone, probably to make the tattoo stop, and i seem to remember this character wearing a trenchcoat a lot. there seemed to be an odd number of p.o.v. shots from this character's perspective, too.
any ideas?!
It sounds like Mark of the Devil. Here's the address for it

I think this is what you're talking about.
i'll have to see it to be sure, but this certainly looks like the one. thanks!
I'm going to mention "The Illustrated Man" here, but that's probably not it, I just like it a lot so I'm jumping on this excuse to mention it. The movie is actually better than the Ray Bradbury book, the best "three short movies mashed together" movie ever. I think the ending of Dark Star was based on one of the stories in the book.
