The challenge

Stand out in the feed

Clients need a trusted tattoo artist; artists have to promote their work across several channels. We brought them together on one platform: portfolios introduce the work, while professional details help people decide whether an artist is a good fit. We kept the first release focused on essential features to stay within budget.

Identity

Dark backgrounds, warm lines

The client wanted a dark app. Pale yellow and gold contrast with black, while the decorative Philosopher typeface echoes tattoo lines.

Profiles

A pattern of your own

Interwoven lines form mountains, diamonds and whales. The default profile cover carries the personal-story metaphor into the product.

Search

More than beautiful work

Filters cover price, tattoo style and body area. People select a body area on a rotating figure, or use the map to find nearby artists. The visual identity sits alongside practical criteria for choosing a specialist.

Conversation

From a post to a conversation

People can like tattoos, comment on posts or share them in the feed. A private chat lets clients and artists discuss a session.

Outcome

Ready for the conference

With two months left before an industry conference, the team reprioritized around profiles, the feed and search. The first version was released in time for the event and launched on the App Store, Google Play and RuStore. Design and development took over 7 months, followed by 6 months of support.
