| Inkbox | Brothers Tyler and Braden Handley were discussing their shared interest in getting tattoos. The problem was they both knew they’d end up regretting them in the next 10 years. They recognized that they probably weren’t the only ones frustrating by the permanence of tattoos, and decided to create a completely new type of tattoo that had the look andfeel of a real one - without the permanent time stamp. From there Inkbox was born, and what started as an idea between brothers quickly turned into a growing tribe of dedicated followers. | $1M | Seed | Jul 21, 2016 |  |
