Electric Fang Tattoo

The shop announces itself with a circular neon sign, a snarling wolf head in red over the name, with a motorcycle parked under the window and the interior glowing pink through the glass. The other renders go inside. It is the first named tattoo parlour in Grand Theft Auto VI, and tattoos have been a customisation layer in the series since San Andreas.

Rockstar credits the artwork to FAILE, the Brooklyn duo who have been putting screen-printed street work on walls and gallery floors since the late 1990s. Bringing an outside collective in for in-game tattoo flash is the same move as the Dazed editorial: real cultural collaborators rather than in-house pastiche. How the designs are applied, priced or unlocked has not been published.
