Inkdrop came to be because of my personal experience trying to get my first tattoo. I had to contact a friend, find the artist, email about an appointment, and send a deposit. This felt like too many steps, so I created a way to streamline this process for those who do not have ink just yet.
Introduction: Inkdrop is an all-in-one app meant to assist users in finding local tattoo artists that suit their needs and can achieve the style they are looking for.
Touchpoints: Moodboard, mobile app design, social media design, brochure design
