Envis

Your customer sees their tattoo on their own skin.

Envis is the try-on for your studio. You upload the design and send a link. Your customer points their phone camera at their arm and sees it right where it would go. If they want something changed, they type it underneath, and your new version reaches them a second later.

What your customer sees on their phone

Create a studio See it as your customer does

The flow in 30 seconds: your customer places the design on their arm, you see it in your panel.

The film shows a rose drawing itself onto a forearm. Placement is settled before you apply the stencil: your customer sees size and position on their own arm. With two fingers they pull the design bigger, slide it and rotate it. Their snapshot and their messages show up in your panel the same moment. When you upload a new version, the image on their phone changes in the same second. One link and a browser are enough, with no app and no account. The first ten customers are on the house, then Envis is 29 € a month for your whole studio.

How it goes at the appointment

  1. Upload the design

    A photo of the stencil or the file from Procreate. Envis cuts out the paper white, you enter the width in centimetres.

  2. Send the link and the QR code

    Every project gets its own link and a QR code. The customer scans it at the counter or gets the link on WhatsApp.

  3. The customer points the camera at their arm

    The design sits on the skin and moves along when they turn their arm. With two fingers they slide it into place, rotate it and pull it bigger.

  4. You talk it over while they are looking

    Their snapshot lands in the project along with the placement they chose. A tap on "bigger" or a line like "closer to the wrist" shows up in your panel the same moment.

New version, straight to the phone

You shrink the rose and upload v2. On the phone lying open, the image changes in the same second, and your customer checks it on their arm again right away. Every version is kept, in case the first one wins after all.

What you see in the studio

You have the same project in front of you, with every version, every snapshot from the customer, the link and the QR code.

Who this is for

For studios where placement gets decided at the appointment. The customer sees size and position on their own arm before you apply the stencil.

You still apply the stencil yourself, and how it sits in the end is your call. By then your customer has already seen the design on their arm, so you are both talking about the same picture.

The first ten customers are on the house

You set up your studio with an email address, no card. While the beta runs, nothing is counted. After that Envis costs 29 euros a month for your whole studio.

Questions that come up at the counter

Does the customer need an app?

A browser is enough: Safari from iOS 16.4 or Chrome on Android. Some apps give their built-in browser no camera, Instagram on Android for example. The page then tells the customer how to open the link in Safari or Chrome.

Which body parts does the camera recognise?

The camera recognises arms and hands, legs and feet. It also covers shoulders and neck, chest and belly as well as ribs and back. It sees the hand and lower arm up close. For every other spot it needs the head and shoulders in the frame. A second person holds the phone for that. The back and ribs are hard to film yourself. For those spots the customer chooses a photo of the spot and slides the design into place on it. When the spot leaves the frame, the page reports it.

How accurate is the size on the arm?

The page measures the spot in the picture and works with the proportions of an average body. You tattoo to the size you set yourself. The camera shows proportion and position.

Where are the images stored?

Designs and snapshots are stored with Cloudflare in the Western Europe region and can only be reached through a signed link that expires. The camera stream stays on the phone. The only thing uploaded is the snapshot the customer sends themselves.

Can I take a link back?

Any time. The link stops the second you tap revoke, including on a phone that has the page open right then. You can also give links an expiry from the start.

Can my artist get in too?

During the beta one studio belongs to one email address. Invitations for more artists are what we build next, and they arrive before pricing does.

What about iPhone?

The customer page needs Safari from iOS 16.4. Before loading the page checks whether the browser can show the camera view and the photo mode. If it cannot, the page reports it. On devices from before about 2019 the preview is slow.
