Planning and Workflow
Artists - With a simple registration process, you can list yourself in our primary database of artists, selecting a specific style you prefer to work with and a rough estimate of your pricing, along with a contact email that users can directly reach you at.
Users - We provide the ability to not only look up Artists in our system by the specific style you'd like to be tattooed, but also provide the tools to find shops in your city. Are you planning a vacation and would like to get a tattoo in the city you're visiting? You can use our app to find shops at your destination and plan ahead!
Users are also able to sign in or register using their Google account (currently the app is in test mode, so only the developers' emails are authorized via Google OAuth2, currently in the process of being moved into released.)
To run the app locally, you can clone this repository on your device with Rails, run bundle install, rails db:{drop,create,migrate}, and rails s, and visit localhost:3000.
You will be able to create a User or an Artist account, log in, search for tattoo ideas, search the primary database for Artists who specialize in specific tattoo styles, and search for shops in your city.
