Tattoo Removal Simulator
Developer Uraga
You remove tattoos for a living. Every client comes with a tattoo they no longer want: symbols of once-eternal love, mistakes that refused to stay in the past, jokes that didn’t age gracefully, and secrets asking to disappear. Make the past less permanent. From the Steam store page

54 of 54 · most liked firstWas waiting for this game to be released but it seems like they were content with the basic system and didn't make an effort to add some QOL, this is very barebones and straightforward. I was okay with that until I encountered a few bugs including one that stops the progression. When you try to remove tattoos below the arms, sometimes you can't and it will instead scar the belly of the NPC. The one that blocks the run is the one where the client is literally inside of the seat and I was…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's addicting and a great concept but the use of generative AI is a huge turnoff. There are so many amazing artists who would have loved to design tattoos for a video game like this, so why do most of the pieces look like chatgpt "designed" them? There's also a bug where certain spots just can't be removed, and I don't like the fact that it marks everything as 100% done when you still have plenty of visible ink left that could be removed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →you cant charge 20 quid then use ai?????
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So many AI generated photos used for tattoos :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →so starting out i still enjoy the game but seeing some changes from the demo that i am a little disappointed with. what happened to the constant yapping of the customer? i enjoyed that tbh, i even checked my setting to make sure that it was toggled on and it was, but i did about 5 different customers and literally only one person said like 4 words. also slight gripe, i decided to save my money instead of buying upgrades for the shop or laser but then saw the gloves and thought wow that's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very bare bones, I would think it was an earlier access of an early access release but this seems to be the full release. It could become a better more interesting game but every part of it needs work. As it is this feel like more unity slop. On a positive: It isn't UE5 slop so performance is ok.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm 85% sure most of the tattoo art in this game was generated with AI, both the removable ones and the non-removable. And with lack of a Credits from what I see to see if there's an Art Director or any form of artist, I will continue to have this opinion.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →too expensive + ai art
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had been looking forward to this title for a long time, but releasing it in this state makes it impossible for me to recommend it. I don't even want to focus on the lack of content; from a purely technical standpoint, the game feels unfinished. - VR mode doesn't even launch properly. You have to start the game in desktop mode and then use an in-game button to switch to VR. - The translations appear to be machine-generated and lack proper context. I appreciate the effort to include multiple…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game is very average , extremely boring, and definitely not worth the price 15.73$
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Edit: as you asked for it /State 15.06.2026 Whilst the save bug is now fixed. It still not what expected. Even ppl complain about AI-Content, having 2 out of 3 customers as exact the same person with exact the same tattoo and the same location feeld bad. Happened more then once by now. ____________________________________________ On state now its bad as those save bug/career bug destroy the progress. Major career bugs. Career does not start where it ended. If you choose "new career" you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's like power wash simulator but on bodies. bit dull and the tattoos being removed start repeating on clients pretty quick. theres not really anything here to give you a challenge or to keep you coming back. tattoos need improvement too, they look almost AI, don't think an actual tattoo artist would have been consulted on this game.

unlabelledView post →Ive been playing this for a while now and LOVED the demo when I played it when it released. This is a great "brain break" game for me after a stressful day at work, I can just zap and relax... love it! Would love more stories in the future like the prison one!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Game Is New : Will it have some bugs : Yea...but game breaking? : No.....just small, minor, no big issue ones.. However.... Dev's are acting pretty fast on pushing out the fixes once the report hits. So Credit to that one. Is it worth the "Current Price" : I'd say right now with discount its pretty fair. It's a great game to pass the time. Now if you are a person who wants to use trainers, wand, or cheat engine and just hack the money fast, sure you might get bored more quickly. But a…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is peaceful yet keeps you challenged as each persons pain level is different affecting how long you can laser at one time. You can also control whether or not they talk to you
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →saw an ad on reddit some while ago and decided to check this game out, I'm a diehard powerwashsimulator fan and this game looked pretty promising at first. game is pretty ok but there is no need in playing for more than a few hours: - the gameplay mechanics are more bothering than fun, especially the pain-level-meter is a stupid gimmick. whats the point of maxing out your lasers when your clients just end up crying all over again anyway? it feels more like a hassle than a relaxing experience…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, very relaxing and has interesting stories
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very cool and chill game, good music, satisfaction simulator to remove tattoos. Would recommend, maybe needs more stories
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Perfect game to chill and turn off your brain after a long day. It is a good basic simulator, but I really look forward to seeing more content in future updates. Definitely worth a try if you need a calm experience.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun simulator game with casual and career options! Nice to get lost in and focus on each client. As it's new, there is some repetition with the tattoos/clients, but I expect future updates will add more variation and I'm here for it. Really enjoying the gameplay so far!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For the current state, it should've been more polished before the release.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a good basic game, although I am a bit confused that I only did a few jobs, then got to the prison lady, then that was the story finished. I'd like controller support but that's just me. https://youtu.be/2SXwOEOatmU
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The graphics are grfeat! The storyline is a feel good great narrative and compelling. Keeps you locked in to the reason why you do what you do. The voice acting is 10 out of 10!! AAA voice acting for sure. The music is good and I'd like to see more songs added to the playlist. DID I MENTION THE GRAPHICS ARE INSANE! The upgrades are not super easy to attain. theres definitely work involved. I;ve doen around 8 removals so far. LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This Tattoo Removal Game Really is Cool! - Tattoo Removal Simulator #tattooremoval #indiedev #indiegame #simulationgame youtu.be/14cf0_BKokk
unlabelledView post →I really want to like this game more than I do. The core idea is fun, and the tattoo-removal gameplay itself can be enjoyable, but the game runs out of direction way too quickly. You do a handful of missions, get through the prison storyline, and then it basically turns into an endless stream of customers with badly drawn tattoos to erase. At that point it starts to feel less like a game with progression and more like you've taken a dead-end job at a tattoo removal shop. That's the biggest…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game saved my life. I am 39. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and adopted our son together. They are now both 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I found myself lost and miserable. I was self destructive. I got so mad one day from everything spiraling out of my control that I punched some concrete in a moment of overwhelming emotion. That caused me to break my 5th metacarpal in my right hand... my working hand... my games hand.. the hand that I held and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its a great game i love it, only thing is some tats are a little repetative. but overall a great game. put almost 50 hours into it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →nice little game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting game when you just want to relax and spend some time without too much pressure. Easy to get into and enjoyable for casual play. It also feels like people from different creative and professional backgrounds, not only the gaming industry, have contributed to it, which gives it a slightly different character. It feels like a good start to a game with plenty of room for future improvements and new ideas. Looking forward to seeing how it develops.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →pretty cool, tiktok fyp liked it lol
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok I'm gonna be brutally honest, I hate doing reviews and i'm a content creator. This game had potential in the demo, great story to end on... Now that i have the full game I have played lots to see where it'll go and yea NOWHERE. maybe 2 talkers for an actual story so far. WAY too many clients at the 1st studio even after unlocking ALL studios. I will agree with everyone else saying the tattoos are AI Generated and are way too REPETITIVE. Voice Lines are a joke, I finally turned everything off…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice, cozy cleaning genre game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wasn’t expecting to get hooked on a game about removing tattoos but here we are. You zap ink off with a laser bit by bit and honestly it’s weirdly relaxing, the sound alone is great. Each client’s got a little backstory too which is a nice touch. It’s still finding its feet here and there, but for a first outing there’s a lot to like. Perfect for zoning out after work.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is so relaxing to me and compared to some of the comments indicating that they've experienced bugs, i have not. Hope the devs continue to add more content and different varieties of clients\ tattoos and work space.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →goin to give up on uni and become a tattoo removal professional. not usually a fan of simulators but this game is fun and cozy. didnt have any crashes during the game process, there are a few things to work on tho. good luck with adding new stories and features!! there is definitely potential here
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the game so far it pretty calm i only have one issue for example one of the clients said they want two rocket ship tattoos removed one lower and upper arm i only saw one tattoo the lower arm one and it wasnt even a rocket ship it was something different but it was the right tattoo to remove
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unplayable on steam deck Everything is fine when having the windows behind you, but as soon as you’re trying to face that direction it becomes way to laggy and impossible to even move around.. unfortunately the first tattoo requires you facing that way:/
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i love the game but i was in the prison scene removing the girls tattoos and i couldnt finish the job i reset the procedure and now i cant use the tools !
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is fun and addicting, it would be a pretty awesome game but the use of AI is a huge turnoff. this whole game is about ART! why is the art AI?! the few pieces of art that are human made are beautiful! for a game over 30 bucks (atleast for me) i expect human art made by humans
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I get lost in this game for hours
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really enjoying the game so far and how chill it is. I didn't expect there to be stories behind the tattoos, hearing clients talk about their past adds a lot more depth. The game feels very promising and it's nice seeing developers active herre. High hopes for future content and improvements over time. Also, really hoping for steam deck support, it would be the perfect relaxing couch game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had played the demo when it came out, and knew it would be a relaxing game to go into. I mean, I can't spend my entire gaming life playing FPS and RPG games all the time, right? Gameplay is simple: Remove the tattoo(s), use cooling gel, go to the next person. It's simple, relaxing and what was advertised. However, there are some game breaking issues. Mostly that the game likes to crash a lot. It looks like a rendering issue between levels. If the developer wants, I can send them the message…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Relaxing ASMR Experience :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, it delivers what it promises: you get to remove tattoos. That's it. Forget counting sheep—just play this game. It's so boring that you'll be nodding off in 5 minutes flat. I really hope they add more FREE content, because this ain't it, chief!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dont like that it used AI. overall it is pretty satisfying. just wish it didnt use AI and used real people instead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, same feel as power wash simulator. Also there are story clients which is a nice change from the standard clients as there provide a deeper insight into the removal.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I actually was enjoying this game and have 13 hours played. However the bugs really do hinder game play. I cannot even buy the second studio as it says I do not have the cash but I have over 30k.
