4. Tattoo Parlous and Hairdressers
Gamers could visit up to three tattoo parlours and seven barbers shops throughout San Andreas, and choose from a selection of tattoo designs to adorn protagonist CJ's back, lower or upper arm, torso or legs. Similarly, players could visit a local barbers and choose from a variety of hair cuts, such as "cornrow" or "afro". This is another example of 2004's San Andreas being the ultimate game in customisation in the GTA series, allowing players to completely modify their character from weight class, chosen attire, tattoo preference and hair style. I think it would be terrific if at least a couple of these features returned to the series - following a protagonist through several hours of gameplay and having him look the same all the way through became somewhat tedious in GTA IV.
