Hello! My name is Michael. Like many of you, I am a huge tattoo enthusiast. I even undertook an apprenticeship to learn more about the art. I realized that most people have their tattoos done by whoever is at the closest shop. In some cases that may work. If I lived next door to KatVonD, Durb Morrison, Paul Booth or Mike Devries I wouldn't have a far drive either. Since most of us don't have them as neighbors, I decided to come up with a way to make it easier to find an artist who excels in the style of tattoo you are going for. Let's face it. Not everyone is as experienced in Realism as one may be in Congis and Tribal. One may not be as excelled in Portraits as they may be in Bio-Mech, or vice versa. I not only wanted people to be able to search by distance or by GPS on their smartphones by accessing the Mobile Version but also online since not everyone has a smartphone. I also wanted them to be able to use search filters such as style and ratings. Secondly, I wanted people to be able to browse through galleries of work done by the artists they choose to see their skills. And Thirdly, I wanted people to be able to connect with the artist, schedule appointments, leave ratings and reviews on the artist after receiving their next piece of permanent art. I also wanted this creation to be a platform of advertising for artists and shops. A place where tattoo artists unite, share stories, and expand their client base. I envision mail, photos, videos, blogs, and more! This creation is TatsFinder
