TattooBook
Why This is an Opportunity
Tattoo artists are a huge, vocal community that's been burned by Instagram's algorithm changes. A focused portfolio + booking tool is straightforward to build and artists would happily pay to own their online presence instead of renting it from Meta.
Key Pain Points
- •Instagram compresses tattoo photos and the detail that matters most gets destroyed
- •Managing a waitlist through DMs means messages get lost and clients ghost after weeks of back-and-forth
- •Flash designs get posted on Instagram stories that disappear in 24 hours — interested clients miss them constantly
- •Artists have no way to collect deposits upfront so they get no-shows that waste entire time slots
Original Discovery
Tattoo artists manage their portfolio on Instagram (which kills image quality and buries old work) and handle bookings through DMs (which is chaos). TattooBook gives each artist a clean portfolio site with high-res galleries organized by style, a booking request form with deposit collection, and a flash sheet page where clients can claim available designs. It's the anti-Instagram for tattoo artists who are tired of the algorithm.
