Can you customize your character in GTA 6? Clothes, hair and tattoos
In part. Rockstar names a salon, a clothing store and a tattoo parlor, but says all three are open only with the Ultimate Edition, and pre-order and Ultimate bonuses add outfits and hairstyles. A full customization system and character creator haven’t been shown.
Rockstar’s pages describe facial hair for Jason, makeup and nails for Lucia, over 50 signature tattoos and exclusive streetwear looks. Its images show a mullet, a buzz cut and a large back tattoo.
IGN reported salons and clothing stores across the open world, and IGN’s Extended Look breakdown describes an item wheel with outfits and masks. Those are reported or shown, not a full list of options from Rockstar, and the Standard Edition’s tattoo options haven’t been stated.

What has Rockstar actually said about hair, clothes and tattoos?
Rockstar has named a venue for each, but only as Ultimate Edition extras. Among the places its editions page marks “only open for business with the Ultimate Edition” are Sara’s Unisex Salon, the Electric Fang Tattoo Parlor and the Stock 305 Clothing Store.
Rockstar says the salon offers signature styles for both leads, naming Jason’s facial hair and Lucia’s makeup and nails. It says Electric Fang, in Stockyard, has over 50 signature tattoos for both leads, designed by the art collective FAILE. Stock 305 is billed as a streetwear store with exclusive looks for both. Our pages on Sara’s, Electric Fang and Stock 305 have the details.
What do Rockstar’s images show?
They show examples, which is not the same as showing a menu of choices. By Rockstar’s image descriptions, Jason has a mullet haircut from Sara’s, Lucia has a buzz cut while an artist works on her thigh, and Jason has a large tattoo across his back. Separate Vice City Style images show Jason in a tropical shirt and sunglasses and Lucia in open button-down shirts.
Rockstar’s text and images describe what these shops offer, not how choosing works. Rockstar hasn’t shown how you pick a design, where on the body it goes or how big it is, and it hasn’t shown a price list for any of these shops.
Are those shops the only way to change your look?
Not according to IGN, though that comes from a preview report, not Rockstar’s pages. After watching a Rockstar North gameplay demo, IGN reported in August 2026 that hair salons and clothing stores are spread across the open world, each with exclusive items and signature hairstyles. IGN also reported that you can shorten or shave existing hair and facial hair yourself, while new styles need a salon or barber.
What nobody has said is whether tattoos are available outside the Ultimate Edition. The only tattoo parlor Rockstar has named is Ultimate-only, so we label tattoos in the Standard Edition as unconfirmed. See our shopping, salons and tattoo parlours page for the wider picture.
What outfits come with the pre-order and the Ultimate Edition?
The Vintage Vice City Pack is the pre-order bonus. Rockstar’s store says to order before November 20, with the note “While supplies last”, and Rockstar lists outfits and hairstyles for both leads. Rockstar’s GTA VI page describes Jason in a “linen suit in vintage pastel” and Lucia in a “red sequin mini dress and curls”. More in our Vintage Vice City looks page.
The Ultimate Edition adds Vice City Style, with “exclusive outfits, tattoos, and more” in Rockstar’s words (the PlayStation listing adds hairstyles), and Goodtime Gear, a capsule collection inspired by Macca the Gator. Rockstar’s image shows hats and shirts with the character. See Vice City Style outfits and Goodtime Gear. Rockstar hasn’t said how many pieces either set contains.
Can you change outfits on the fly?
It looks that way. IGN’s list of details from An Extended Look describes an item wheel with a Masks category, including a Face Wrap, plus icons for hats, outfits and eyewear. That is shown in Rockstar’s own video, though Rockstar hasn’t named the wheel or listed its contents. We cover it on our outfit and accessory wheel page.
Clothes also matter for the police. IGN reported that police can learn what you wear, and that a new hat or glasses isn’t enough to shake that: you need a whole new outfit. IGN also reported that you can keep a change of clothes in a vehicle’s trunk. Our wanted system explainer covers it.
Can you build your own character, like in GTA Online?
Not as far as Rockstar has shown. The story follows two set leads, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, and Rockstar hasn’t shown or announced a character creator. What Rockstar has shown is the leads’ looks changing, not new people being designed. Read more in our Lucia explainer.
Earlier games set expectations. Grand Theft Wiki says Carl Johnson in the 2004 San Andreas could change his clothes, tattoos and hairstyle, and that GTA V lets each lead change clothes, hair and tattoos. Nothing we found says GTA 6 matches either one.
What we don’t know yet
We don’t know the full range of options. Rockstar hasn’t published how many hairstyles, tattoos or outfits exist, or what they cost. We also don’t know how much of it needs the Ultimate Edition, or whether Standard Edition players can get tattoos at all.
Rockstar also hasn’t said how most items unlock. Its GTA VI page says Ultimate Edition bonuses are spread through the story, with new items arriving chapter by chapter, but it doesn’t say which looks come when. We’ll update this page once Rockstar or launch footage settles it.
