The Tattoos And Their Magazine Locations
There are five Taboo Tattoo magazines in Fallout 4, each unlocking a new facial tattoo design. Let’s go over where you can find all of them.
Issue 1: 13
- Location: Mass Pike Tunnel
- Design: Four leaf clover on the left cheek.
The first issue gives the player a clover tattoo on the cheek with a wishbone and the number 13. The issue is located is in the Mass Pike Tunnel, inside a storage room that’s beside a Power Armor Station.
Start at the Mass Pike Tunnel West entrance. You’ll want to head south whenever possible, running through the rightmost railway tunnel. You’ll eventually stumble across a terminal that, when hacked, will lead to a storage room. Look for a toppled storage container near the center of the room to find the magazine issue on the floor. It’ll be next to Det. Perry’s skeleton and a holotape.

Issue 2: Anchor
- Location: Thicket Excavations
- Design: A forehead tattoo that depicts an Anchor with horns surrounded by stars.
The design is true to the name of the magazine issue, as it gives the player the option of an anchor tattoo on their forehead.
For this one, go to the Thicket Excavations, which is east of Sanctuary and south of the USAF Satellite Station Olivia. There is a friendly NPC there if you are visiting the station for the first time. If not, then there is a chance that the place has been taken over by raiders.
There is a parked caravan at the southwest corner of the excavation site. You’ll spawn just beside it if you fast travel here. Enter the caravan to find the magazine. The issue will be on a desk.

Issue 10: Eagle’s Nest
- Location: Concord
- Design: A neck tattoo of a flying eagle.
The Eagles Nest issue gives the player the option to have a eagle tattoo on their neck.
This one is found in the Concord Civic Access, an underground area that’s not marked on the map. You’ll need to find a sewer grate in Concord to enter this underground section. To get there quickly, look for a blue preservation shelter in town that’s next to a bus stop. Beside the bus stop is the entrance to the civic access tunnels.
When you enter the tunnels, keep moving left. You’ll eventually end up in a small room with a steamer trunk and fuel canisters. The magazine will be laying at the foot of the trunk.

Issue 12: Skulls Are Hip!!
- Location: Irish Pride Industries
- Design: A forehead tattoo depicting a skull inside a radiation symbol.
The “Skulls are Hip!!” issue gives the player access to another forehead tattoo. Instead of an anchor though, it is a radiation symbol with a skull in the center.
This is another easy one to get. Go to the Irish Pride Industries shipyard. Once inside the building, keep your eyes out for a docked ship. Inside the docked ship is the magazine resting on a dining table.

- Location: Vault 81
- Design: A forehead tattoo of an upside-down horseshoe inscribed with the phrase “bad luck.”
The “Sailor” issue unlocks a horseshoe tattoo with “Bad Luck” written around it. You’ll find this issue in Vault 81. If you haven’t entered this area before, you’ll need to either pass a difficult Speech skill check or bring fusion cores to gain entry.
Once in the vault, go down the elevator. Go down the ramp to the lower floor to find the barber shop. You’ll find the magazine on a table inside the shop.

Where To Apply Tattoos
Once you have the magazine issues, it is time to get inked! Just go to Diamond City and head to the Mega Surgery Center. For 100 caps, you’ll be able to change any visual trait of your character. If you only want to apply the new tattoos, go straight to the “Extras” option; you’ll have access to all the tattoos you have collected. If five tattoo options aren’t enough, consider browsing Bethesda.net or the Nexus website for mods that add additional tattoos.
