Tattoo Tycoon

Netter Zeitvertreib. in der Welt der Haut Verschönerungskunst.

I say it's innovative in the concept that it's the first tattoo management/tycoon game.. I can think of. There's a learning curve initially, where you're having to grind for several days before you start getting ahead of things. You definitely want to build a daily routine to find your flow. My daily tasks: Brainstorm, Design Tattoos (you need stencils to tattoo), water plants, restock vending machine(s), replenish tattoo stations and learn skills. Watering plants and stocking vending machines are great side hustles to collect semi idle Inspiration. Inspiration is how you unlock shop items, learn skills and acquire tattoo designs. You also gain Inspiration by tattooing clients yourself, successful tattoo consultations, as well as employees doing their jobs in consulting and tattooing. There's a risk/reward for Inspiration as well. Meaning you can use it all up unlocking and purchasing things or apply it towards experience to level up at the end of the day. It auto applies any left over Inspiration once you end your day. Every day you start with 40 Inspiration, gain more through your free daily Brainstorm. Which I usually acquire around 90-110 Inspiration at the start of my day, then I replenish tattoo designs/stencils with it. The more design choices available, the better your chance of a successful tattoo consultation. For a good bit, that's your gameplay loop. There's a story and it's very welcomed than just pop-up dialogues or notifications to push along a narrative. My big tip is only push along the story when you want to. I would suggest space out the story beats a few days in between (or on slow days), so you can accumulate tattoo designs/stencils and money along the way. Most story tasks involve you in particular, so it can preoccupy you at times and break up your flow. Tattooing and consulting yourself can be a bit taxing, but necessary at the beginning. I also suggest getting at least one employee ASAP to help offload either consulting or tattooing priorities. I personally have 1 tattoo artist and consult myself, but I have 2 tattoo stations, in case I want to hop in and help out.

Fun relaxing and enjoyable

Game's pretty fun and relaxing

If you love tattoos and Tycoon style games, this game has the perfect blend. There is potential for semi automated game play or you can delve in hands on and feel the rush of dealing with clients from consultation to finishing up a great tattoo. I am looking forward to many more happy hours in this game

Honestly, I was skeptical based on the reviews but its worth the money. Yes the tattoo mini game you need a semi steady hand but if you just go slow until you get the upgrades its not bad. Change your mouse settings to make it less sensitive to movements and you're good to go. Mini games are fun and so far the story has been good. I do recommend turning the ambiance sound down, kinda gives you a headache after a while.

En tant qu'apprenti tatoueur je recommande le jeu (et c'est validé par mon mentor) En soi on est assez proches d'une expérience à l'américaine, moins européenne. Je suis sûr que le jeu a été produit par des tatoueur.euse.s car il en découle une compréhension de l'histoire et les styles de tatouage. (Sans spoiler, le fait que notre mentor soit spécialisé dans le old shcool et que nous allions vers le néo tard.) Même si le look jeu vidéo cartoonifie beaucoup les designs il y a une vraie compréhension des codes graphiques et beaucoup d'humour sur la culture elle même. Je comprends les avis mitigés sur le jeu dans le sens où le gameplay est répétitif, on se retrouve a gérer une supérette en dessinant de temps en temps, ce qui au final n'est pas siii éloigné de la vie en shop de tatouage.... Mais c'est moins glamour. J'aurais peut être aimé plus de gameplay autour de l'acte de tatouage, pourquoi pas des remplissages en couleur ou du cover... mais c'est fun pour se détendre.
