Tattoo Tycoon

Tattoo Tycoon is a shop-management game set in Tattuga Bay, where most tattoo parlors have closed. You take over the city’s last remaining shop and work to build it into a flourishing business, balancing the role of tattoo artist and entrepreneur as you serve customers and deal with local characters.

You create and play your own character, forming relationships with people around the shop and learning about their problems to earn their trust. Marketing campaigns, personal connections, and word of mouth can help build your reputation; well-known artists can qualify for the Ink-Vasion tattoo competition.
