This October, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re excited to partner with renowned mastectomy tattoo artist David Allen, to sponsor a mastectomy tattoo. Through his expertise in decorative mastectomy tattoos, David has helped hundreds of women turn their scars into stunning symbols of resilience and beauty. Join us in supporting this initiative as we offer one sponsored mastectomy tattoo. Learn more about David Allen, his work with mastectomy tattoos, and sign up to enter here https://lnkd.in/eMxmn9Kz

Over the last few months, we have spent hours speaking with tattoo artists and prospective clients to better understand their needs. As is the case with many creative fields where an interpretation of words into art is required, we have found that there is a often a vocabulary gap and language barrier between tattoo artists and clients. In order to bridge this gap, we have experimented with AI to turn tattoo ideas into visual concepts so artists can better understand exactly what clients want. Now - we turn to education with a new tattoo style guide series to help people explore, learn, and better articulate the tattoo they want. Check out the first article for Ornamental Tattoos where go deep into the iconography, aesthetics, and techniques associated with the highly popular style. https://lnkd.in/eAHVwXBn

Exciting news from Co:Create Ink – we've joined Diageo's Fusion Partnership Lab! ?? A little backstory ?? A few months ago, the Fusion team reached out asking us to apply for the program. One area they were interested in was web3 loyalty and they saw us as a leader in the space. So they were understandably surprised in December when we caught up before their final selection, and let them know we'd decided our highest and best use was by going all in on our incubated concept, Co:Create Ink, a platform to elevate the artistry of tattoos, blending tradition with technology ???. We shared the reasons we were excited about building out a new degree of ownership and elevating the artistry and self-expression of tattoos. The purpose of the meeting was primarily to let them know we were no longer focused on web3 loyalty. Towards the end however, I mentioned “this is likely not a fit for Diageo, but if there is interest in exploring the storytelling and community around tattoo culture, there may be something surprising and impactful there.” Lo and behold, sometimes the craziest ideas are just the thing. While we are definitely an unusual pick for Diageo, this first part of the program is all about exploration and brainstorming. ??Cheers to seeing if we come up with something crazy and cool together and discovering where this journey takes us.

Charting the Future of Co:Create in the Next Era of the Internet ?? ??Spoiler alert: We're all in on tattoos!?? Co:Create launched with a white paper, painting a vision of the future where communities are rewarded for their contributions. In 2023, we brought this vision to life with an API platform that powered diverse applications, from Bleacher Report's Watch-to-Earn ?? program to a Harry Styles concert ??. Our journey provided a crucial insight ?? Tools are necessary, but fundamentally rethinking business models is paramount. Consider web 1.0 (the “read” era): It started as an online replication of existing models (e.g. static newspapers). But soon, innovators began leveraging the internet's unique capabilities, giving rise to dynamic content, interactive user experiences & eventually leading to the birth of web 2.0 (the “read, write” era) Now, as we edge into web 3.0 (“read, write, own”), we're at a similar crossroads. This era brings unprecedented forms of ownership & interoperability. But we're still in the early stages & real life examples are few. So, we decided to take our API infrastructure & use it as the base to build our own front-end applications, things that were only possible because of web3. That is what led us to launch Co:Create Studios & incubate Co:Create Ink. So what is Co:Create Ink? Ink takes our learnings about building community-driven brands, combined with the unique power of blockchains & tokens, to build an ownership-driven experience for artists & collectors. It’s a curated marketplace of tattoo art, providing ownership that extends beyond time & skin. Our aim is to open new income streams for artists while offering collectors a new dimension of self-expression, storytelling & fun. The Co:Create Ink launch at Art Basel last month was a defining moment. We can see the immediate impact we are having on artists & collectors. We’ve therefore made the bold decision to focus entirely on this venture. We are so excited to build something only possible due to the technological advancements of blockchains and tokens. Ink is beginning. The Co:Create brand stands for something bigger: a commitment to transform business models through community engagement & ownership. As Ink grows, we're laying foundations for future ventures, connected by a unifying protocol, tying back to the vision outlined in our initial white paper. We see a future where we can leverage our learnings & tech across various creative fields, expanding Co:Create's ecosystem of web3 platforms over time. A heartfelt thank you to all our clients & partners for your unwavering support. While we won’t be taking on new API-clients so we can fully focus on Co:Create Ink, we remain dedicated to our current partners. We're just getting started. Stay tuned for updates and insights as we venture into this exciting new phase, fostering community, igniting creativity & redefining ownership. #Web3 #Innovation #CreatorEconomy #Artistry #tattoo #nfts
