TATTOO SHOP 3D Tattoo Game
TATTOO SHOP is a 3D tattoo game where you trace the stencil on a customer's arm with the needle and fill in the color. It runs in your browser on phone and PC with nothing to install.
You open a tattoo shop on a street at night. A customer hands you a design, a purple stencil goes on the arm, and dragging on the skin runs the buzzing machine and lays down a black line. Stray off the line and you slip, hold still too long and the ink blows out, go too fast and the line breaks up. Use the mouse on PC and your finger on a phone.
From the fifth customer on, you pick an ink cap and color the design after the lines are done. Paint a cherry green and it costs you. Customers do not sit still either: the arm trembles, then flinches, and if your needle is on the skin at that moment they yell. For ear piercings, press and hold the mark while the customer breathes out to get a PERFECT.
The designs start with a heart and a lightning bolt and grow to 15, including a skull, a snake, a moth, a burning heart and a tiger. Spend your earnings in the shop on a pen machine, a 3RL needle, a ring light and a tattoo bed, and stock up on numbing cream and candy. Needles get finer as you upgrade, so you can work in finer detail. The 25th and last customer wants a rose, a tiger and a swallow on one arm and three ear piercings.

Frequently asked questions
What happens when the customer runs out of patience?
When the patience bar hits 0 it is game over. You get back what you spent on cream and candy for that customer, and RETRY starts the same customer again. Patience drains slowly on its own and faster while the needle is on the skin. One candy restores 40.
Can I clean up a blowout?
Yes. Press the wipe button and rub the smudge away with the tissue. The purple stencil fades along with it, so wiping too much makes the line harder to follow. Stencil gel from the shop keeps the line from fading as much.
How much do mistakes cost?
They come off the bill when the customer leaves: 200 for a slip or a blowout, 100 for the wrong ink color, 300 for a crooked piercing. Tips shrink as mistakes add up. Finish with no mistakes and no yelling and the tip is 50,000 or 100,000.
Why do piercings have to happen on the exhale?
The breath meter at the top switches between inhale and exhale. Pierce on the inhale and the customer hurts badly and loses a lot of patience. Hold the center of the mark for 0.85 seconds on the exhale for a PERFECT. If your finger slides while holding, it comes out crooked.
What goes in the collection?
All 15 designs and 5 piercing spots you have finished. Each finished tattoo stays in the collection as a polaroid on that customer's skin tone.
What happens after the last customer?
The 25th customer takes a rose, a tiger, a swallow and three ear piercings in one sitting. Finish and the arm slowly turns to show it off, then a result card with your polaroids appears, which you can save or share.
