My initial research analysed other tattoo shop websites to understand the content they shared and how they displayed it. To further understand the user base, I conducted a round of user interviews with tattoo artists, potential clients, and people with tattoos. These interviews gathered information on what they look for in a tattoo shop website and what information is helpful to them.

The style of PSTC conveys the image of a safe and welcoming environment that people can come and get tattooed. The colors communicate an elegance that hints at extravagance without going overboard.

Switching to Arial and using Playfair Display for smaller headers.
