This idea was born after I was planning on building a website for one of my relatives who's a tattooist as part of my portfolio. Whilst discussing ideas I came up with the idea to go the next level and create a mobile app that displays tattoo’s on users skin prior to the real life session using Augmented Reality.
The way the app works is a user will find a certain artist either by search or based on locations, once found the artist will have multiple artworks displayed on their profile in which the user can then view using the smartphone camera lens and QR code sticker to trigger the AR event.
Although this project was for my major project at University after receiving positive feedback from the public and finding that there isn’t really an app out there like this my aim is to one day make the app legit and post it to the public to use.
The target audience for Virtual Ink is aimed towards customers who are need of a new tattoo but are indecisive as they can now view tattoo work on their skin to see if it suits them or if it meets their needs. Tattoo artists as they can use the app as a promotional strategy as well as gaining more customers and work.
