Tattoo Assassins was a 1994 versus fighting game developed by Daniel and Carlos Pesina. A few prototypes were published by Data East, but the game was never officially released. Spearheaded by Bob Gale (screenwriter for Back to the Future) and Joe Kaminkow (leader of Data East Pinball, now known as Stern Pinball), Tattoo Assassins was designed to be Data East's answer to Mortal Kombat.
