Step right up and claim Free Game, a fully loaded tattoo toolkit that’s equal parts mystery, challenge, and creative fuel. This isn’t just a free download. It’s a thoughtfully curated starter set built to support your tattoo workflow, whether you’re sketching a weird one-off design or testing full sleeve layouts on a 3D model. What’s inside may surprise you, but everything included is something you’ll actually use.

At the heart of Free Game is the Build Your Own Wolpertinger flash stamp set by Sam Rulz, a playful collection of creature parts inspired by folklore, sideshow legends, and tattoo history. Use these modular stamps—featuring everything from caiman heads to unicorn torsos—to assemble your own mythical beasts. With thousands of possible combinations, it’s an open invitation to experiment with form, flow, and storytelling.

To bring your creations to life, we’ve included a streamlined selection of pro-grade tools. You’ll get Russ Abbott's Daily Brush Kit, featuring Russ's personal Procreate brushes for lining, sketching, and shading. Two versatile color palettes round out your workflow: the Tattoo Smart Gray Values set, covering neutral, warm, and cool grays, and the Skin Tone Palette, designed for high contrast and healed accuracy across a full range of skin tones.

And to make sure your concepts actually work with real-world placements, Free Game comes with the Advanced 3D Full Arm Model for Procreate. This left-arm male model allows you to test tattoo flow, scale, and placement before committing to the skin. Whether you're a seasoned pro or experimenting with Procreate for the first time, Free Game gives you a powerful, practical starting point—and it's yours at no cost.
