About Inkspira

Inkspira is built by two people: me, Finn, and a friend who codes.

It started with a problem I kept running into. For years I turned up to appointments with a folder full of blurry screenshots and still struggled to explain what I actually had in mind. Eventually, after I had complained about it to my friend for long enough, we decided to start building something ourselves.

He handles the technical side. I focus on getting the style names right and making sure a design looks like something you could realistically take to a tattoo artist. Inkspira was made for people in Germany – the content is written directly in German, not translated, and the cost calculators and guides are based on German studio prices. The English version is here alongside the German site.

It doesn't replace an artist – it replaces the fifteen blurry screenshots that would otherwise come along to the first consultation. You make a vague idea a bit more concrete before your appointment; the development of the design and the professional judgment stay with your tattoo artist.
