Like the Hero, its higher-end predecessor, the touchscreen Tattoo comes with the HTC Sense user interface. As well as providing a touch-control skin, the interface allows one search across email accounts in Microsoft Exchange, Gmail and other webmail services.

The Tattoo also has integrated access to Google Maps, search and the Android Market for downloading mobile apps.
