Pins & Needles Tattoo Parlor
We just landed an apprenticeship with the legendary tattoo artist Paul Tompskins, known as Skinz. His shop is famous, and even celebrities like David Beckham, Rihanna, Mike Tyson, Snoop Dogg, and Eminem are regulars here. On our first day, we know we need to impress—Skinz is tough and doesn’t keep apprentices around for long. If we can survive longer than a day, we might just have an epic story to tell.
Exit Games Florida is a family-run business whose two rooms—Servants of Sleight and Pins & Needles Tattoo Parlor—were created by enthusiasts Josh, Tay, and Frank, and have received multiple awards.
The tattoo studio stands out from traditional escape rooms thanks to several unique features. Most notably, the unusual theme sets it apart: few rooms explore the world of tattooing as thoroughly as this one.
The introduction to the experience is also exceptional: it’s dynamic, entertaining, and immediately immerses players in their first day on the job at the tattoo parlor.
The story impresses with a gripping plot and unexpected twists.
The set design is detailed and authentic—you might think the creators once ran a studio themselves. The puzzles are thematically integrated, often non-linear, sometimes multi-layered, and quite challenging; with four players, we used the full 90 minutes. I especially enjoyed the finale and its setting.
Pins & Needles was my personal highlight among the 35 rooms we played in Florida.
