HandyGames and CrazyBunch will release the tattoo shop management game, Tattoo Tycoon, in October 2025. The project has received almost €300,000 of federal funding.

Publisher HandyGames and developer CrazyBunch (Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don't Dry & Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Dry Twice) will release Tattoo Tycoon on 24 October 2025 for PC (Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG), as well as for PlayStation 5, Switch and Xbox Series X|S. In this simulation game, players take over the last tattoo parlour in a city where most shops have closed.

HandyGames: "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'."

Tattoo Tycoon is being developed by CrazyBunch, published by HandyGames and supported by the Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space through its federal funding for video games. The project, which had the working title "Mission Tatau Super", received funding of €290,674.
