Deep dives
AI-Driven Tattoo Discovery
A deep learning application has been developed to help users find their ideal tattoo designs based on personal preferences. By inputting keywords related to their desired designs, users can access a vast database of over 350,000 tattoo images uploaded by the community, providing inspiration from around the world. The application features a user-centric home feed that tracks individual interests and preferences, ultimately refining what suggestions are presented. This personalized experience is crucial in a field where finding the right design can often be overwhelming, as users interact with the app to discover styles and artists tailored to their tastes.
Data-Driven Training and Classification
The training of the underlying AI model utilizes user-uploaded images tagged with hashtags, which helps classify tattoo styles and motives. A significant challenge in the development process involved the initial sorting of a massive dataset, as only a fraction of the images were suitable for training the neural network. The categorization approach relied on identifying common styles, with initial efforts focused on 11 distinct tattoo styles that emerged from user interactions. This organization of data not only enhances the accuracy of recommendations but also helps in better understanding user preferences and trends in tattoo design.
Cultural Intersection and User Engagement
The merging of tattoo culture with advanced AI technology highlights a shift in attitudes towards both art and digital innovation. As tattoos gain mainstream acceptance, individuals within the tech industry are increasingly embracing tattoo culture, leading to a new generation of developers with personal connections to tattoo art. This cultural blend fosters a collaborative environment where both art and technology enthusiasts contribute to the evolution of tattoo discovery. Users engaging with the app are provided a seamless journey from inspiration to booking appointments with artists, showcasing an effective integration of social media and e-commerce platforms.
Picture this, you find yourself in a tattoo parlor. But none of the dragons, flaming skulls, or gothic font lifestyle mottos you see on the wall seem like something you want on your body. So what do you do? You turn to AI, of course. We spoke to two members of the development team at Tattoodo.com, who created an app that uses deep learning to help you create the tattoo of your dreams.
