West Palm Beach, FLORIDA FEB 16, 2015 – Sailors were the first to bring tattoos to the United States as early as the 1900's. With the Navy's introduction of the art form to the military, it has now become intertwined with the military population as well as becoming more accepted in regular pop culture. While the art form is more popular than ever, connecting clients to artists has been difficult. Until now. Former Marine Rich Harward has created InkBadger and has launched a Kickstarter campaign to finish the product and launch it to the public.
InkBadger is a patent pending software program that allows clients looking for tattoos to upload a design. Multiple artists bid from within the client's local area. Each artist has their own profile page and is rated by prior clients. Once an artist wins the bid, the client comes for a consult with their set price and the confidence they are getting a great price from the right tattoo artist. In addition, Ink Badger will also have an app that customers on which can upload a tattoo they currently have for a cover up bid.
This Kickstarter will be funding specifically used for purchasing exhibition setup for conventions throughout the US starting in Florida. This will include the equipment needed for the setup such as monitors, sound, tables, giveaways, signs, and more. The launch will consist of a plotted tour of tattoo conventions where the product will be unveiled and then released to the public.
Angel investors helping fund the InkBadger campaign to the next level will be eligible for perks such as thank yous, an InkBadger drawstring bag, an InkBadger pen, an InkBadger mousepad, an inkBadger T-shirt, a 3 month, 6 month, 9 month or 1 year membership to InkBadger and 3 free listings on InkBadger when released.
The InkBadger team understands not everyone may be able to give money to help the InkBadger campaign, so they ask that those who cannot give monetarily help by spreading the word about the InkBadger project online through social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr or record a video challenge for Vine, Facebook or Instagram to invite friends to give to or share this Kickstarter fundraiser. Include #InkBadger in all posts.
