How to get tattoos in GTA 6

How do you get tattoos in GTA 6?

Rockstar hasn’t explained it. There are no announced steps, so we won’t list any. What exists is a named venue: the Electric Fang Tattoo Parlor in Stockyard, which Rockstar’s editions page says is only open with the Ultimate Edition.

Rockstar says the parlor has more than 50 signature tattoos for Jason and Lucia alike, all designed by the artist collective FAILE. The PlayStation Store’s Ultimate Edition listing words it as “Choose from over 50 signature tattoos”, which is as close to a how-to as anything official we have read. Our Electric Fang Tattoo page has the venue details.

What has Rockstar shown of tattoos?

Examples, not a menu. Rockstar’s images of the parlor show Lucia with a buzz cut while an artist in a white ski mask works on her thigh, and Jason with a large tattoo across his back as two masked artists look on.

Rockstar hasn’t shown how you choose a design, where on the body it goes, what it costs or whether you can remove one. Its editions page also describes the Ultimate Edition’s Vice City Style extra as giving both leads “exclusive outfits, tattoos, and more”, without saying how those tattoos are applied. Our character customization answer covers the wider look.

Can you get tattoos without the Ultimate Edition?

Unconfirmed. The only tattoo parlor Rockstar has named is Ultimate-only, Vice City Style is an Ultimate Edition extra too, and Rockstar hasn’t said whether the Standard Edition has tattoos elsewhere. IGN’s August preview reported hair salons and clothing stores throughout the world, each with exclusive items, but we found no tattoo detail in it. See our shopping, salons and tattoo parlours page.

Can you add or remove tattoos on Jason and Lucia?

Only partly answered. The store listing’s “Choose from” wording says you choose among the parlor’s designs, and Rockstar’s images show both leads with tattoos. Nothing official explains whether they start with ink, how many designs you can wear, or whether anything can be removed, so we treat all of that as unconfirmed.

How did GTA 5 and earlier games handle tattoos?

History, not a prediction. In 2004’s San Andreas, Grand Theft Wiki says there were four tattoo parlors, a single tattoo could raise respect or sex appeal by 3% at most, and removing one cost $400. For GTA V and GTA Online, the same wiki lists Ink Inc., a tattoo parlor chain with stores in Hawick and Chumash. Its page doesn’t cover prices or who can get what.

GTA 6 could do something different, and Rockstar hasn’t said.

What will we check at launch?

Once the game is out on November 19, we will check where the parlor is, how choosing and placing a design works, whether prices exist, whether tattoos can be removed, and whether Standard Edition players can get any.

We will report only what we see, labelled with edition and platform, and update this guide. For other looks, see our outfits hub.
