What this session covers

In this session, we’ll explore why getting a tattoo and building software aren’t as different as they might seem. Both require vision, trust, and a steady hand—whether it’s ink hitting skin or code hitting production. We’ll look at how great artists and great developers share a respect for careful planning, a willingness to iterate, and the courage to commit. By the end, you’ll see that whether you’re holding a tattoo gun or a keyboard, the path to something remarkable is forged through patience, care, and embracing the unexpected. As a tattooed software guy i know of what i am speaking :)
