I built visual search for tattoo artists

Last year I bought an A2000 for my 10" homelab to experiment with LLMs. Spent months tinkering, mostly just learning how things work.

I've been wanting a tattoo, but finding artists sucks. I got a ton of inspiration pics, but every artist I found was in LA or New York.

So I built something different. Upload an image or describe what you want, it finds artists whose work matches and shows you where they are.

The A2000 ended up as the embedding server. CLIP for visual similarity, pgvector for search, trained style classifier. So far 22k artists, 175k images, 147 cities.
