Play Tattoo Assassins Online

Game Overview

Tattoo Assassins is one of those weird, forgotten arcade fighters from the '90s that somehow got even weirder the more you played it. Instead of fireballs or uppercuts, your fighter’s special moves come from glowing tattoos—like summoning a giant scorpion or turning into a living skeleton. It’s janky, over-the-top, and honestly kind of mesmerizing once you get past the stiff controls.

First time I booted it up, I mashed buttons until my guy started spewing snakes from his arms, which was… a choice. The AI doesn’t pull punches, so expect to lose a few rounds while figuring out which tattoo combos actually work. But there’s something weirdly satisfying about the chaos—like if Mortal Kombat and a heavy metal album cover had a baby.

Definitely more of a curiosity than a polished fighter, but worth a few rounds if you’re into bizarre arcade relics.
