National platform
A national platform for tattoo, piercing and body-modification artists and studios — and the flagship product Tandy Services owns and runs as a business.
Visit the live site — nation.tattooNation.Tattoo is a nationwide platform where tattoo artists, piercers, body-mod specialists and studios build a home base, get discovered, and run their business — and where the people getting the work find them.
It's the flagship: everything learned building for clients lands here first, where Tandy Services is the operator, not just the builder. It's a real subscription product with paying tiers.
Rich artist and studio profiles with portfolios, custom themes, identity badges and reviews — plus dedicated homes for apprentices, piercers and body-mod artists. People browse by style, search, scroll a discovery feed, or find a studio that takes walk-ins. Artists post flash designs, flash drops and flash deals, take bookings, and send digital consent forms and waitlists. And once the work is done, the client can track their healing day by day with real aftercare guidance.
Most of this industry's real business happens in places no software ever covered. Nation.Tattoo covers them: guest spots and traveling artists, chair rentals, studio jobs, a conventions directory with QR check-in, direct messages, and a merchant and trade side for the suppliers behind the chair. Pro studios get a full back office — inventory, profit-and-loss and mileage tracking — plus SMS notifications and a referral program.
An Ask section for real questions, a pain guide, a piercing-types reference, healing and aftercare guides, Community Ink, and an auto-updating news engine. These pull in the searches nobody else answers well — and they're the reason someone lands on the site before they ever pick an artist.
Members get "Ink AI," an assistant powered by our own Tandy Services AI — the self-hosted brain we built, so the platform delivers real AI features without paying a per-seat tax to anyone.
A modern stack — Laravel, Vue 3, Inertia.js, Tailwind CSS and MySQL with server-side rendering — built and maintained with AI. SEO is wired end-to-end: JSON-LD structured data on every page type, a full sitemap, instant IndexNow submission on every change, and verification in Google Search Console.
It proves Tandy Services doesn't just build for others — it builds and runs its own software business, with AI as the workforce behind it.
