On Tuesday morning at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, our senior producer Maggie Nye rolled up her jacket sleeve to show me her new tattoo: a classic, pixelated cursor arrow. TechCrunch\u2019s Becca Szkutak got a matching cursor, while Theresa Loconsolo got a smiling moon.<\/p>\n

I guessed that at some point during all the Disrupt hoopla, Maggie and Becca wandered off to some trendy San Francisco tattoo shop to cement their friendship with appropriately tech-theme<\/a>d ink (and maybe Theresa was there too?). That seemed like a more logical explanation than the reality, which is that they got these tattoos at Disrupt \u2014 yes, literally at Disrupt, on the Moscone Center\u2019s convention floor, while upstairs, there was probably a talk going on about product-market fit or agentic AI.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of startups showed their stuff in the Expo Hall as part of the Battlefield 200 \u2014 there\u2019s robo chefs, spacecraft insurance providers, a shortcut for recycling plastic \u2014 and then amid the chaos, Tattd turned their booth into a mini tattoo shop.<\/p>\n

Tattd is a platform that helps tattoo seekers find artists whose portfolios match the kind of tattoo they\u2019re looking for. <\/p>\n

The startup uses generative AI to create a mockup of a design, but these synthetic designs aren\u2019t actually getting inked on anyone\u2019s body. Rather, Tattd puts the AI-generated design through a reverse image search to find an artist whose work resembles the mock-up, so that the client and artist can work together to create an original design, as one normally would when they get connected with a tattoo artist.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you go to ChatGPT and say something like, \u2018I want to see a butterfly in a Japanese traditional style with heavier lines,\u2019 they don\u2019t know what that means,\u201d founder Laura Schaack told TechCrunch.<\/p>\n

Just feet away, TechCrunch deputy managing editor Karyne Levy was getting an escape key tattooed on her upper arm.<\/p>\n

Before founding Tattd, Schaack led operations for two startups: WearAway, a fashion rental company acquired by Grin, and Lemonsqueeze, a market expansion platform acquired by Knotel. But Schaack has always had an eye for the arts. She studied art history at New York University, and her body is decorated with a collage of tattoos \u2014 at Disrupt, she got a California postage stamp by her elbow.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a number of people that have tried to enter the tattoo industry without tattoos, and they have all failed,\u201d Schaack said. While you can\u2019t judge a founder by their appearance, she says that their lack of tattoos reflected their lack of interest, investment, or experience in the industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so deeply passionate about this industry, I\u2019m heavily tattooed, and I\u2019m here to support artists to build businesses in a way that both the client and the artist are taken care of,\u201d she said. There are 900 artists on Tattd, and the platform partners with a third party to help them find healthcare and financial advisers.<\/p>\n

Schaack said that around 30 people got tattoos throughout the three days of TechCrunch Disrupt.<\/p>\n

There was a TechCrunch logo on the flash sheet, but (un)fortunately, no one inked their love for our brand on their body.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
