Tattoo Tycoon: Draw Your Future

The Ultimate Tattoo Shop Management Sim Gets a Release Date: Ink-Vasion Begins October 24, 2025!

Giebelstadt, Germany, October 10, 2025 – Publisher HandyGames and developer CrazyBunch are thrilled to announce the official release date for their highly anticipated simulation game, Tattoo Tycoon. Players can begin their journey to restore Tattuga Bay's faded ink scene on October 24th on Steam, Epic, GOG, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.

In Tattoo Tycoon, you take over the last standing tattoo parlor in a city where most shops have closed their doors. It’s up to you to turn this struggling business into a thriving artistic empire. Success hinges on a steady hand and a keen understanding of your clients, from eccentric regulars to the city’s most powerful figure, known only as "the Tycoon."

Game Highlights:

  • Think Ink & Perfect the Design: Engage in personalized consultations with customers to discover their true desires. Offer a bespoke tattoo design they can't refuse, then execute it with a steady hand—beauty is pain, but higher satisfaction means bigger tips!
  • Shop Management & Customization: Purchase furniture, hire a dedicated team of specialists (from artists to desk clerks), and manage your shop's day-to-day operations. Decide when to open and close and how to spend your limited time and energy to meet Tattuga Bay's challenges.
  • A Personal Story to Pursue: Design your character and navigate personal relationships with local characters. Earn their trust by learning about their issues and helping them out. Word-of-mouth and personal connections are just as vital as marketing campaigns to get famous in the tattoo world.
  • Rise to the Top: Unlock over 100 unique tattoo designs, expand your studio to new vibrant city districts, and train your skills in various styles. Only the most renowned artists can qualify for the city's prestigious tattoo competition: Ink-Vasion!

Tattoo Tycoon will launch on October 24th, for ​ STEAM, EPIC GAME STORE, GOG, PLAYSTATION 4 and 5, XBOX X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Wishlist the game now and prepare to get inked!
