Tattoo Parlour

A tattoo parlour has a very distinct sound and this library captures it from setup to session end. 344 SFX - Tattoo Parlour is a foley collection covering machine performances, artist preparation, equipment handling, and the ambient sound of a working shop.

The tattoo machine section is the main focus. A vintage pen and a modern pen are both recorded across lining and shading performances, with multiple stroke lengths and intensities in each category. A portable gun gives you constant and varied performances with switch-off sounds at the end of each take. Machine startup and shutdown is covered through voltage supply switching, circular connector plug and unplug sounds, and power pack button handling. Foot pedal sounds are recorded both dry with no machine attached and applied, with push-down and release takes across multiple takes.

The preparation section covers pulling on latex gloves in seventeen takes, taking them off, and inflating them. Ink bottles are recorded being shaken and uncapped. Cling film wrapping, grip tape wrapping a machine handle, unpackaging sterile equipment, and placing tools on a metal tray complete the setup ritual. Ambience recordings cover the back room hum, street noise through a shop window on a dry and rainy day, a shopping centre location, and a naturalistic artist-and-customer scene. A creaky wooden door adds further atmosphere.

All sounds are fully metadata tagged and ready for Unity.
