"We are a group of tattoo enthusiasts who could not find a good tattoo site that did not charge money. So we decided to build one ourselves.

Our main goal is to have a free site where people can store their pics online and search for tattoos pics, and at the same time, help build a community.

We also want to help tattoo artists and shops promote themselves and show off some of their amazing works."

Generally sites displaying pictures of tattoos are covered with ads, difficult to sort through, and just plain ugly. This makes browsing through tattoos and displaying your own a web2.0 experience with an attractive interface, easy browsing, and a social network of friends. Anyone who’s into tattoos will enjoy this site.

Could they maybe post a directory as to tattoo parlors, where they are located, which are the best, and what the average price is to expect for that area? This could be great for making a profit from advertising.
