About
Tattuga Bay was once the heart of the tattoo scene, but almost all parlors are closed today. You take over the last remaining tattoo shop and turn it into a flourishing business, making friends or enemies with other local characters, from weird customers and troubled tattoo artists to the city’s most influential businessman, simply called “the Tycoon.”

Order furniture from INKEA and make your rooms look fresh to lure in more customers. Talk to them to find out what they really like and what to avoid. Only then can you offer them a tattoo design they cannot refuse.
You’ll need a steady hand to get ink into skin and not hurt your customers (too much) in the process. Beauty is pain, but the happier they are with your work, the bigger the tip.
Time is money. You decide when to open and close your shop and how to spend your limited time and energy to meet the new challenges of each new day.
Practice your skills and styles, hire new employees, and manage the day-to-day life of a tattoo artist.
Everyone has their own interests. You’ll need a wide range of tattoos, decorations, and related products like skincare, t-shirts, and posters. People might also want coffee, a cool drink, some snacks, and comfortable seating while waiting for their turn to get a tattoo.
To help you manage your ever-expanding customer base, you must assemble a capable team of specialists who can cover the different steps when working with a customer.
You design and play your own character in Tattoo Tycoon and form personal relationships with the people around you. Learn about their issues and help them to earn their trust.
While you can start marketing campaigns to promote your art, personal connections, and word-of-mouth are as essential to getting famous in the tattoo world. And only the most famous artists can enter the most prestigious tattoo competition: Ink-Vasion!

This is a good game. A business game where you also get tattoos. The story is also exciting. The price is a bit high, but the game is quite long = there is plenty of material. I recommend it.
I like this cute tattoo game, so far a it is fun, price is a bit high that it should be buy it is ok! :-)
I'm really enjoying this game; it has a nice game loop, upgrades, more tattoos / decorations / tattoo parlors to unlock. As for the tattoo mini game, that was a bit more tricky.....if your mouse is on normal / fast DPI, the minigame is going to suck. If you slow down the mouse to a really slow DPI when the minigame starts, it's easier. I also find the controller pretty easy for tattoing as well....just bump down the sensitivity to about 40%. Overall, great game! Looking forward to updates and more content!!
HALLO LIEBE DEVS, erstmal hoffe ich das der Release auf Steam ein voller Erfolg war. Ich habe euer Spiel getestet und auf Youtube ein Lets Test gemacht. https://youtu.be/Sa791NfGWRg Die Idee einen eigenen Laden zu haben um dort sein künstlerisches Talent auszuleben ist eine feine Sache! Tattoos sind eine geile Sache und es gibt eine riesen Auswahl an Themen in diesem Bereich. Für diesen Preis muss man es sich überlegen. Ich meine es wird alles teurer aber viele Grundeinstellungen sollten in so Simulatoren einfach ohne wenn und aber vorhanden sein. Jedoch habe ich die meiste Zeit nur vorgelesen und kam mir vor wie in einer Geschichte. Es wäre echt von Vorteil wenn es jemanden gibt der alles vorerzählt. Die Mechaniken beim tätowieren mit der Maus zu interagieren ist gewöhnungsbedürftig. Leute die eben unter der Nadel liegen,sollten wenigstens ihr Shirt hochmachen oder umgeswitcht werden sodass sie ein Tank Top tragen. Die Beratungsgespräche verstehe ich manchmal nicht ganz aber es ist eine Interessante Sache,jedoch ausbaufähig. Ich bin gespannt was noch so an Content erwartet wird und gebe für meinen Ersteindruck eine 6/10, leider ging mir das ständige lesen etwas auf den Sack. Liebe Grüße, euer Nils
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.
Great so far.
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
Fun relaxing and enjoyable
Game's pretty fun and relaxing
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.
