YORE

What YORE does

YORE s.r.l. is an Italian private biotechnology company founded in 2020 and headquartered in Rovereto, Trentino. The company develops proprietary solutions across the full tattoo lifecycle, spanning safer application and easier removal, with its core technology rooted in advanced material science and modified pigment formulations developed in collaboration with the University of Trento and Politecnico di Milano.

Its product portfolio comprises YORE Tattoo (application-side biotech solutions), YORE Unique Black (a monodose sterile black ink launching September 2024 with a unique tracking code and connected digital tattoo passport), Unique Ink (modified pigments engineered for safer application and easier future removal), and YORE Removal (a patch-based, non-invasive removal alternative to laser treatment). The Digital Tattoo Passport captures skin characteristics, ink composition, and session details and is accessible to the client, the tattoo artist, and dermatologists for long-term care and treatment.

YORE operates a B2B go-to-market, selling monodose ink units exclusively through authorized partner tattoo studios in Italy, supported by a D2C demand-generation layer via a consumer waiting list. The company is pre-revenue at the time of available data, has a four-person founding team covering CEO/Scientific, CFO, CMO, and COO functions, holds the YORE® registered trademark, and exceeds REACH compliance with batch-level analytical certification. An investor waiting list signals an active capital-raising posture as the company prepares for commercial launch.

Broad incumbents

• Quanta System: Italian medical laser manufacturer producing devices including tattoo removal systems. Comparable to YORE's removal ambitions as a medical-grade technology provider, though operating in the incumbent laser paradigm rather than patches.
• L'Oréal: Global beauty and personal care giant with skin science R&D capabilities. Relevant as a potential strategic acquirer or competitor given L'Oréal's dermatology and beauty biotech interests intersecting with YORE's tattoo skincare space.
• Cynosure: Global medical aesthetic device manufacturer with laser tattoo removal systems (e.g., PicoSure). Comparable to YORE in addressing tattoo removal, but as an established incumbent in laser-based solutions versus YORE's emerging patch approach.

Direct peers

• Intenze Tattoo Ink: Premium tattoo ink brand widely used by professional tattoo artists worldwide. Comparable to YORE's ink business in customer base and distribution through tattoo studios, with a broader color portfolio but no sterile monodose or digital passport offering.
• Astanza Laser: Leading manufacturer of laser tattoo removal equipment and provider of removal training. Comparable to YORE as a player in the tattoo removal market, though operating in laser-based removal rather than YORE's patch technology.
• Eternal Ink: One of the largest professional tattoo ink manufacturers globally. Directly comparable to YORE as a tattoo ink supplier targeting professional studios, though Eternal Ink uses traditional multi-use bottles rather than monodose sterile packaging.
• World Famous Tattoo Ink: Major tattoo ink brand with strong artist adoption. Comparable to YORE in serving the professional tattoo studio channel, though competing on traditional ink formats rather than biotech-grade sterile monodose packaging.
• Dynamic Color: Established tattoo ink manufacturer serving professional artists. Comparable to YORE as a B2B supplier to tattoo studios, focused on traditional multi-use ink bottles without YORE's digital documentation features.

Regional players

• Killer Ink Tattoo: European tattoo supplies distributor offering inks and equipment. Comparable to YORE as a tattoo supplies channel in the European market, though without the proprietary biotech or sterile monodose positioning.

Emerging players

• Tattooodo: Digital tattoo community platform connecting artists and enthusiasts. Comparable to YORE's digital passport as a tattoo-related digital platform, though focused on discovery and community rather than clinical/biotech data.
