I Built an AI Tattoo App with Expo - Here’s Everything I Learned

Two months of part-time work, 350 customers, and my first real revenue from an app I own. Building Inkigo taught me more than years of prototypes, and I share the whole stack and every lesson in the video.

What's inside

• Why I shipped iOS first instead of chasing both platforms
• Getting a native feel with Expo UI, context menus, and liquid glass effects
• Generating realistic tattoos with Google's Gemini models (Nano Banana)
• Running AI server-side with Expo Router API routes on EAS Hosting
• Handling payments and subscriptions with RevenueCat
• Watching real users with Vexo session replays
• The UI polish lessons nobody puts in the docs
