The INKubator Series:

As a reminder: you were interested in seeing behind-the-scenes of launching & creating temporary tattoo kits. 

DATE: Jan 1, 2026

Hey ,

New year, new spreadsheet! 

The $100,000+ plan for 2026 is officially in motion. 

I didn't light a candle or make a vision board.
I raised capital instead & committed just like I signed a lease I can't emotionally back out of (yikes).

Q1: Jan - March

Doubling down on my biggest breadwinner: corporate events.

But we're retiring the vendor vibes.

Meaning it's not just temp tattoos anymore. 

We're getting involved in the full setup: 

booth builds, hologram decor, branded giveaways & of course temp tattoos anchoring the whole thing. 

And before you ask, it's not about booking more events but landing fewer events with bigger price tags. 

Which is also why I'm expanding beyond Toronto. 

We're talking Montreal, Florida, Washington D.C. 

Cause if I'm getting on a plane, it's for big rooms & budgets that justify the checked luggage. 

Now for the other realization that hit me mid-spreadsheet. 

I am the biggest bottleneck of the business!! 

If I get sick, injured or had enough human interaction for the day, the business stops.
No Nadine = No Revenue. That's not a business, that's a glorified side-job. 

So part of this capital is going towards building a temporary tattoo vending machine that can be rented out to events, weddings & brand activations.

Something that can kinda be managed on its own without my presence or operational involvement. 

Q2: April - June

The moment we've all been waiting for, development & launch of the Jagua Temporary Tattoo Kits, strategically timed for spring and summer, aka the two seasons where everyone suddenly wants tattoos.

A project that’s been “almost ready” for a year and a half now, it’s basically a family member at this point.

I’ll document everything as it unfolds; wins, flops, and affirmations that did not survive contact with reality.

2026 here we go!!! 

Sending good vibes,

Nadine
