Tattui is a tattoo imaging and networking tool designed for non-technical users. The intuitive UI lets users model tattoo placement in reference to existing and future tattoos before heading to an artist. Tattui also has accounts for artists to market their work and connect with clients. Users can use the map to find artists in their area and filter by desired art styles.

Current State

• Build tool: Gradle (via wrapper) -- no Maven
• Target JDK: 21 (enforced by Gradle toolchain, auto-downloaded if not installed)
• Pure JavaFX (no Gluon or external dependencies).
• Cleaned out generated/IDE files (bin/, .gradle/) from version control.
• .gitignore added to prevent clutter (IDE configs, build outputs, caches).
• Verified baseline runs with the included Gradle wrapper.
