Tattooing Skill Guide

“From simple designs to full-body masterpieces, your Sims can now master the art of tattooing and transform skin into canvas!”

This skill focuses on artistic ability, steady hands, and building trust with clients. Unlike other creative skills, tattooing is about personal connection — and permanent results!

  • Practice tattooing on willing Sims (friends, family, or paying clients). Purchase a Tattooing Chair or Tattoo Kit from Build/Buy mode.
  • Read tattooing skill books available online or from bookstores.
