PHOTOGRAMMETRY TATTOO MODELLING

November 2023

Prepared by: Liam Ramsingh (Founder)

THE GOAL: 

Leveraging photogrammetry technology to empower the global tattoo community to design with precision

WHAT IS HELIOS?

Helios is a specialised IOS application that harnesses photogrammetry technology.

 

From a series of photos, it enables tattoo artists to generate precise 3D models of their clients' body areas.

 

These models serve as accurate templates for designing custom tattoos within compatible design software

"I use lidar and photogrammetry technology to scan parts of the body that are difficult for me to tattoo, or because I want to study a design on the actual body more."

- Darwin Enriquez (Tattoo Artist featured)

WHAT PROBLEM ARE WE SOLVING?

WHAT'S THE POINT OF BUILDING THIS SOFTWARE?

"Tattooing on darker skin requires a different understanding of colour and is suited to certain styles"

1

Tailored Design for Individual Bodies:

Helios considers diverse body types and skin tones by capturing the dimensions, curvature of the tattoo site. This approach acknowledges the anatomical differences among individuals, ensuring that tattoo designs are personalized and visually aligned with each client's unique physique.

2

Seamless Design Integration of Existing Tattoos:

By incorporating client's existing tattoos into the design process, Helios facilitates the creation of cohesive new designs.

 

This feature allows artists to visualise and craft tattoos that blend seamlessly with a client's current body art, ensuring a unified aesthetic.

3

Precision and Time Efficiency in Design Application:

Helios eliminates the need for repetitive stencil resizing and application. By utilizing captured object metadata (cm/mm), the software enables precise design placement. This efficiency streamlines the stencil application process, providing artists with more time to focus on creativity and reducing time spent on logistical adjustments.

REVENUE MODEL.

CORE REVENUE STREAM

Subscription-Based Revenue:

  • The core revenue stream for Helios is generated through its subscription-based model priced at $7.99 per month per user.

  • The subscription model ensures a recurring and predictable income stream, providing access to the software's advanced features and tools for tattoo artists.

Annual Subscriptions and Discounts:

  • Offering discounted rates for users who opt for annual subscriptions can encourage longer-term commitments and generate upfront revenue.

  • Bundling services or offering special promotional discounts for a limited time can attract new subscribers and increase overall revenue.

Strategic Brand Integration:

  • Helios offers sponsorship space within the app, strategically integrating product blueprints or schematic designs from tattoo supply companies or brands into the software's background. These designs serve as unobtrusive artwork, hyperlinked to the sponsor's page or product details.

AUXILLARY REVENUE STREAM

logo 3.png

Enhanced User Experience with Sponsored Content:

  • Brands can customize backgrounds or sponsored content within the app, ensuring a seamless user experience while subtly showcasing their products or offerings. These placements can be non-intrusive and strategically positioned to complement the design process without disrupting user workflow.

  • The sponsorship model generates revenue by either charging a fixed fee for sponsored placements or adopting a revenue-sharing approach. Helios could earn a percentage from sales or leads generated through sponsored content, establishing a mutually beneficial partnership with brands.

  • Targeted Exposure and Lead Generation: This sponsorship initiative provides targeted exposure for brands, allowing them direct access to an engaged audience of tattoo artists using the software. It also serves as a potential lead generation avenue for sponsors by showcasing their products within a contextually relevant setting.

Data Monetization (Potential):

  • If Helios collects anonymised and aggregated user data (with user consent and adherence to privacy regulations), there may be potential avenues to monetize this data by providing insights or trends to relevant industry stakeholders or advertisers.
