Description

Example
Tattoo artist: Welcome, so this is your first tattoo?
Customer: Of course it is, I’m scared of needles!
Tattoo artist: So many people are scared of needles, but at least with this needle you get a cool tattoo at the end of it. Let’s have a look at the design you brought in.
Customer: Now? Oh gosh I really am quite nervous, I’ve never shown anyone my artwork before.
Tattoo artist: Everyone else who’s come in today wanted the same thing, so I bet it’ll be great.
Customer: Take it!
Tattoo artist: Thanks, oh my gosh this is amazing!! Golf in space!
Additional Tips for Playing
- Try and keep the relationship and emotions of the scene going!
Variations
- A good warm-up is to do two-line scenes, and use the last word as the first word of the next scene
