Hey ,
I've been deep in the weeds setting up the tattoo kits online shop...
And honestly, I had no idea it would be this much work.
For context, I'm a graphic designer by trade.
I've built websites for clients that went live in a single weekend.
No sweat!
But building a shop? Different story!
Suddenly, it's not just about making things look good.
It's about checkouts, payments, shipping integrations & making sure orders don't fall into the internet abyss...
Basically turning my little corner of the internet into a functioning store.

What I thought would be a week's worth of work shaped up to be at least a month.
And instead of 'designing a site', it feels more like I'm laying plumbing, wiring & stocking shelves in an invisible store that only exists if I build it right.
Oh & don't even get me started on decision overwhelm!
I can't make stupid simple design decisions.
Like for example, should I go with design option #1 or option #2?

And okay, tiny proud moment: if you’ve ever wandered over to my website, that’s all me. Not perfect, not polished within an inch of its life, but it feels like a solid brand & that's the only thing that matters.
Anyway, what do you think? Option 1 or 2?
Sending good vibes,
Nadine
P.S. don't forget to hop on to the waitlist for the temp tattoo kits...
