Overview of Tattoo Release Forms (TRF) App v3.0+
What is TRF?
Developed by professional tattoo artists Conan Lea and Brandon Lea and engineered by world-class developer Klejdi Hoxha, TRF replaces traditional paper waivers with a seamless, paperless workflow. It securely generates, stores, and organizes client waivers as searchable, printable PDFs—perfect for both solo artists and multi-studio chains. TRF App was born from Conan at our Mothership studio, Voluta Tattoo.
