Tatt Daddy is an app designed to connect users with tattoo artists in order to get pre-designed, flash tattoos in a quick and easy fashion. Users will scroll through different available designs that licensed tattoo artists will upload to the application, select tattoos they would like to get, and get connected with the artist to schedule an appointment, chat about small details of the work, and finalize payment. The goal is to allow tattoo collectors to easily add to their collection and provide artists an opportunity to fill more of their schedule with quick and efficient appointments.
This app was built with a team of 5 developers as the consultancy project for MOD 3 2311, from Turing School of Software and Design.

In our application, we leverage AWS S3 to manage user-uploaded image files. By storing these files in an S3 bucket, we effectively reduce the size of our database, containing only essential data. This approach is particularly beneficial given the potentially large sizes of image files. Storing them in an external database like S3 enables us to store secure URLs in our database queries, rather than cumbersome image data. This optimization enhances the efficiency of our database operations while ensuring the security and accessibility of our image assets.

We integrated GitHub OAuth into our application to streamline the user authentication process and enhance security. By utilizing GitHub OAuth, we leverage the robust authentication infrastructure provided by GitHub, a trusted platform widely used by developers. This approach not only simplifies the login experience for our users by allowing them to use their GitHub credentials but also ensures a higher level of security by delegating the authentication process to GitHub's servers. Additionally, GitHub OAuth provides us with access to user profile information, enabling us to personalize the user experience and tailor our application's functionality based on their GitHub identity and permissions. Overall, integrating GitHub OAuth enhances both the usability and security of our application, contributing to a more seamless and trustworthy user experience.
