Software for tattoo artists and studios

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a booking app that lets tattoo artists and studios manage their appointments, calendars, client chats, and payments all in one place. Our product reduces time artists spend on admin tasks so they can focus on their art.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Toronto, ON, Canada, and plan to base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose to stay in Toronto because that's where our team is based and where we understand the market best. It also keeps us close to early users and partners.
