Millennials are digital natives, risk-takers and have no qualms in pursuing their passion, and that is what makes so many youngsters to follow their entrepreneurial dreams, early on. e-Commerce Entrepreneur and CEO Sam Jacobs is all of 18 and is leading the Drop-Shipping game with his obsession, speed and hard work. With 79.5K followers, the young Instagrammer has made over $1.5 Million through his three e-commerce websites in less than one year’s time. He’s used social media in creating a loyal base of customers as well as budding entrepreneurs who want to follow his footprints.

Twenties or even early, as is the case with Sam Jacobs, is the right time to adopt the new technologies. Early entrepreneurs have an edge over their olden counterparts in learning new tools, adopting new platforms much more faster. They are open to exploring new avenues and experimenting with newer ways of generating more business.

In Sam Jacobs words, early entrepreneurs are people who see themselves as ‘Future Successes’. They set the self-doubt and doubters aside. At very initial stages of their entrepreneurial journey they learn that their everyday ‘Hard-Smart Work’ will pay off and success is bound to follow. Sam’s plunge in entrepreneurship was not without doubters, however, he had his goals clear and effort just in place.

As per Sam, early movers have better success rate as they can devote their 100%. Millennials have the potential to change their life by breaking through their past and aiming for the next level. The zeal to live a lifestyle of their choice and be their own boss is key driver for young entrepreneurs. Sam is an advocate of giving ‘All In’ to succeed at what you do and states, “Day by day coming and going, and whether or not you are using every second of it will decide how the rest of your life will look like.”

Entrepreneurship is exciting, however, it has its own set of ups and downs. The risk-taking ability of millennials gives them an upper hand to benefit from risk-reward aspects of business. Perseverance and passion are other two traits that help early entrepreneurs stick to their plan and succeed eventually.

Early entrepreneurs are growth hackers and want to see results soon. They do not hesitate to learn the tricks of the trade from people who’ve been there and done well. These people are open to learning and take lessons from failures of others, without burning their own capital with ‘trial and error’. Energy and enthusiasm is another factor that makes young entrepreneurs achieve success. “Work till your results speak for themselves,” sums up Sam who’s worked tirelessly till 4am on most nights early in his entrepreneurial stint.

Lastly, gone are the days when businesses were run solely with the purpose to earn money. Today entrepreneurs want to make an impact on the world around them and that’s what makes them successful as the run up is not for money, but for real-world problem solving.

Sarah Mitchell stood nervously in front of the mirror contemplating the tattoo design she’d dreamed of wearing for years. Like many first-time tattoo clients, her excitement was tempered by uncertainty: would the design complement her shoulder as she imagined? Before she could further doubt, she decided to give PRIC’D a try, and to her surprise, this decision changed her uncertainty into confidence through the platform’s innovative pre-visualization technology.

Introducing a New Tattoo Experience

Many people find that getting a tattoo that doesn’t meet their expectations can be a devastating experience, both emotionally and financially. Many individuals spend months, sometimes years, planning their perfect design, only to be left with permanent artwork that fails to capture their vision. Clients often feel disappointed due to misaligned placement, poor consultation, or designs that don’t translate well from paper to skin.

Entrepreneur Kayhan Kiani saw this challenge and hopes to change this experience. Under his leadership, Kiani introduced PRIC’D, a platform streamlining the traditional tattoo consultation process by eliminating design uncertainty and lengthy waiting times through advanced technology.

Clients can easily upload their tattoo designs, visualize them directly on a digital 3D model that matches their unique skin tone, and preview exactly how the artwork will appear on their body.

With this interactive 3D tattoo preview, clients have the flexibility to proceed, request specific adjustments, or explore entirely new design options. Once the final design is chosen, they receive an instant, accurate quote and can immediately book their appointment—all within the same seamless platform.

“Many clients come to us with beautiful ideas but are hesitant about committing to permanent body art without seeing how it will look on their specific body type and placement,” explains Kiani. “PRIC’D’s pre-visualization technology eliminates this uncertainty, giving clients the confidence to proceed with their dream tattoos.”

Kiani believes that when the tattoo industry combines advanced technology with artistic excellence and unwavering professional standards, it creates an experience that transforms how people approach body art.

A Personalized Approach to Body Art

PRIC’D’s pre-visualization service is part of Kiani’s comprehensive consultation process under its premier tattoo company, INK’D London. The studio balances technological innovation with artistic proficiency. Its specialized artists, including experts in realism, portraits, blackwork, fine line work, and even Japanese Neo-Trad, use this technology to help clients refine their design choices and placement options.

When clients visit INK’D London, they work closely with dedicated consultants who guide them through the design process. With PRIC’D’s real-time size, placement, and orientation adjustments, clients can confirm that each tattoo suits the client’s body and vision. Because of this, high-profile clients have made INK’D London their home, and different artist collaborations have been featured there.

Kiani mentions, “Getting a tattoo should be a fun and seamless experience. We at INK’D, London, with our new platform, PRIC’D, eliminate all the what-ifs so our clients leave the shop satisfied with their new tattoos.”

Expanding the Best Tattoo Excellence Globally

This new pre-visualization tattoo technology represents Kiani’s commitment to establishing INK’D London as a global leader in body art. Allowing clients to preview their tattoo designs directly on their skin before any permanent ink is applied addresses a common concern among tattoo enthusiasts and first-timers. This technology enhances client confidence and showcases how INK’D London and PRIC’D merge unconventional solutions with traditional artistry.

Kiani mentions, “INK’D London with PRIC’D aim to redefine the perception of tattoos as part of self-expression and fashion globally by setting consistent quality standards in all of our procedures and introducing professional tattoo services to regions where they were previously unavailable.”
