PROBLEM

Tattoo artists and enthusiasts need a better way to connect with each other. One platform for all of them is helpful since it can show the types of tattoos an artist is comfortable working on, and the types clients are looking for.

Other apps aren’t geared towards artists and don’t do a good job with connecting them with prospective clients.

GOALS

  • Get customers connected to artists digitally

  • Connect customers with artists who can do the style they are looking for

  • Foster a digital tattoo art community

  • Connect apprentices to owners to help them find a shop to get started/an artists who works in their style
