An all-in-one platform for tattoo artists and their clients that helps them connect with each other easily, seamlessly and fast.

Zumi works as a portfolio for tattoo artists. They show their sketches, set free dates for sessions and talk to clients about custom tattoos in one place. After filling out a profile, artists can promote it on social networks.

A unique platform with convenient navigation.

The main challenge was to create a unique platform with convenient navigation and a robust user experience.

Unlike many industries with established competitors and benchmarks, Zumi had no direct competitors, so there was no ready pattern to follow.

Built around how artists and clients really work.

The audience mostly searches for tattoo artists on their phones, and the founder plans to grow the product, so every decision balanced the mobile experience with room to scale.

  1. 01

    Mobile-first

    The mobile version came first and the desktop one followed.

  2. 02

    Scalable architecture

    The structure was designed to evolve into a marketplace without a complete overhaul.

  3. 03

    Stripe and calendars

    Clients pay a deposit through Stripe, and sessions sync to Google, Outlook, Yahoo or Apple calendars.

One place for bookings, deposits and sessions.

Clients pay a deposit through Stripe after booking a session with a tattoo artist, and the date and time are added to their personal calendar automatically.

Standing out with no one to copy.

Zumi had no direct competitors to benchmark against. A unique approach to building the platform helped it stand out in the market.
