Overview

What ABG knows about this game

Tattoo Stories is a drawing party game in which your art skills don’t matter. In a series of quick-paced tattoo competitions, win the most points by making up tattoos and telling the best stories. Compete to get your tattoo and story selected. The game includes lots of fun, creative prompts — i.e., tattoo elements — to help you design the best tattoo. Each player has a dry erase board and marker on which to draw their tattoos. The "customer" chooses five cards, containing tattoo elements that should be included in their tattoo, then the "tattoo artists" have three minutes to ask the customer questions and create their tattoo. After the three minutes are up, each player reveals their tattoo to the group and pitches their tattoo to the customer. The customer awards each individual element card to the person who used it best/most creatively. The player with the most cards after every player has drawn twice wins.
