THE CLIENT

SIX8 COLLECTIVE


The Project:

• WEBSITE REDESIGN

Where ink and identity align

When Six8 Collective reached out, they weren’t just looking for a website— they were stepping into a new chapter. Known for their artistry and inclusive approach to tattooing, they were expanding their offerings to include laser tattoo removal at a second location. They needed a site that could seamlessly balance both sides of their business: the deeply personal, expressive nature of tattooing and the transformative power of removal.

The Aesthetics

With that foundation in place, we developed wireframes that mapped out the structure and flow of the site, refining them until everything felt just right. Once the framework was solid, we brought the vision to life through a custom Squarespace site— one that’s not just functional, but truly reflects the artistry and energy of Six8 Collective.

A New Chapter

The final design weaves in nostalgic Polaroid-style imagery, interactive hover overlays to showcase their artists, and hand-drawn tattoo designs from the cofounders for a personal touch. Every detail was thoughtfully crafted to create an immersive digital experience that feels as intentional and welcoming as their studio itself.
