Love it. Then this app/company went under 7 years ago. Then out of the blue they tried to charge my card. They're not even in business. Do not download. ### 1/5 — Avoid at all costs *2026-02-09, version 3.01* company went under and the app does not work. why they still have an app let alone a website should be reported to the BBB. I’m glad that the tattoo i got still looks great but there are several people who won’t be able to play the sound of a loved one because this company couldn’t follow through and no longer have a functioning app. ### 5/5 — Daddy Tattoo *2024-05-24, version 1.63* This is priceless! My daddy is terminal, and this is some small way I can hang on to a piece of him, thank you! ### 5/5 — It’s back and working great! *2024-02-15, version 1.63* Still love this app. It was down for a while but it’s back and seems to work better than ever! ### 1/5 — Why is not working?? *2023-10-05, version 1.63* I don't know why but mine is not working ### 2/5 — Not usable *2023-06-13, version 1.36* I cannot register. I keep getting the error: "Registration Failed. Please double check your info and try again." It doesn't even show why it keeps failing. I don't see the reason and so I can't register! Very sad and disappointing! ### 2/5 — kullanım sorunu *2023-05-21, version 1.36* programı yükledim ne kayıt olabiliyorum nede deneme yapmak ıcın ses okutması yapabiliyorum ıphone 11 kullanıyorum sorun nedir ### 1/5 — Lamentable *2023-01-28, version 1.36* Lamentable que te hagas un tatuaje de este tipo y cierre la empresa…. Ahora solo tengo un boruño de rayas en la piel ### 1/5 — Not ok to do this to people *2023-01-02, version 1.36* I understand the realities of business, but I never would have gotten this tattoo if I knew what a small and poorly funded operation this was. It was incredibly irresponsible and uncool for other people for you to launch a company like this when you didn’t have the ability to keep it going. I have a tattoo on my actual arm that I can’t play back and explain to people. What the heck am I supposed to do now? ### 1/5 — please fix this! *2022-06-28, version 1.36* app stopped working ## Frequently asked questions about Skin Motion ### What is Skin Motion?
