InkStory is more than just a mobile app – it's a gateway to a new dimension of personal expression. It's not just about preserving memories; it's about feeling them resonate through your very skin.
Hey everyone,
This project started from a really personal place. One evening, I was sitting with my wife and told her I wanted to get a tattoo. Since I’m a total nerd, I wanted something nerdy but meaningful—just didn’t know what.
I do a lot of work in online education (I co-run javascript.info) and spend tons of time with sound and video editing software. So, my wife said, “Why don’t you tattoo a soundwave?” That idea stuck with me. But, being a nerd, I thought, “Why stop there? What if I could actually play back the soundwave?”
Fast forward a bit—I built an app to make it possible. And my first tattoo? It’s the voice of my daughter at 3 years old telling me she loves me. Now, whenever I scan that tattoo, I hear her tiny voice, and it brings back everything about that moment.
I wanted to make it easy for anyone to experience that same connection. With InkStory, you can turn your tattoos into memories that sing, speak, or bring back moments from your life. It’s completely free to install, with generous limits on free usage. You can use Spotify, YouTube, or upload a voice memo or even a family video.
Whether it’s preserving a loved one’s voice, a favorite melody, or a moment that matters most to you, InkStory makes your tattoos more than skin deep—they become alive.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Creating timeless memories, I love this! Thanks for creating a beautiful project, all the best @whatisyourhandle
This is great ideat of the time and community is grown upvery quickly . Ik appreciate it.
I'm not into permanent ink but I love this project. I've been printing temporary tattoos with QR codes but the technology behind this app goes one step further. Perhaps the work behind this project could assist with language aquisition (will try to discuss with Sergey in coming months).
@whatisyourhandle Brilliant idea! Your wife must get the credit :P
I hope tattoo enthusiasts discover this app because I know they will love it. I will share this with my brother-in-law; he has two tattoos.
I think this is a great idea, the community of people with tattoo's is growing more & more plus it's a great way to share memories as you say Sergey!
The first tattoo you got has a wonderful story behind it, I can see that this project will go far as there's a lot of commitment to it - Best of luck!
I once heard a news story about a girl who tattooed her late grandmother’s sound wave on her body, allowing everyone to hear her grandmother ‘s voice. I think this is a very meaningful and warm gesture. All the best for your launch! It’s a awesome concept.
