The Process
Empathize and Understand
We engaged directly with our community, gathering insights on what they found challenging in the tattoo booking and care process. Through surveys, interviews, and feedback sessions, we uncovered common pain points, such as confusion around tattoo care, difficulty in booking, and the desire for clear artist information.

our users: considering the client and the artist
In designing the Intuition page, our user research went beyond just understanding the needs of our clients. We also engaged with the artists of the shop to ensure their insights and perspectives were integrated. By prioritizing their feedback and understanding their requirements for a seamless client experience, we crafted a platform that resonates with both clients and artists, fostering collaboration and trust.

tattoo care guide
The online tattoo care was broken down to guide our users seamlessly through every stage of their tattoo journey—the booking process, before, during, and after their appointments. This is our way of building trust with our clients by providing them with all the information they need to care for their new masterpiece.
About Us Page Redesign
We've revamped our About Us page with a focus on clarity and user experience. By minimizing information overload, we've made it easier for users to find key details like contact information and operating hours. Additionally, incorporating an image of our parking lot provides users with a visual guide, setting clear expectations and ensuring a smoother arrival experience.

Tattoo inquiries
Last but definitely not least, we spruced up the tattoo inquiry form. We wanted the main call to action to be fun and welcoming, true to the Intuition vibe, and "Let's talk tattoo" felt just right.
Using insights from our chats with users and artists, we crafted the form to gather all the info our artists need, while making it user-friendly. We broke it down into sections, added a progress bar, keeping it clear and simple.
To round it off, we guide users to our tattoo care page, ensuring they're well-prepared for their upcoming appointment with essential information at their fingertips.

Following our website's new design testing, we observed a significant decrease in users reaching out via phone for location and hours information.

Additionally, we've seen a notable uptick in event engagement, indicating improved user navigation and interest in our offerings.
