Problem Statement

The user needs a way to find the right style, inspiration, or artist for their tattoo because they want their choice to be the right one as tattoos can be a big commitment in both money, meaning, and permanence.

We will know this to be true when we see our users have access to a wide database of tattoos and artists that will make the process as smooth as possible for their tattoo.

User Research: Insights & Personas

Many may shy away from tattoos due to fear of permanence, potential regret, and uncertainty about design. However, a supportive community sharing tattoo experiences can alleviate these fears.

Tattoos have become more mainstream in recent years, likely due to their increased visibility in popular culture. In this digital age, where mobile apps are a daily necessity, the tattoo community has the opportunity to reach a wider audience and reduce tattoo apprehensions.
