Hey everyone, I'm a CNC machinist with zero experience in web hosting and I'm looking for some guidance. I want to host an audio file of a voicemail from my wife to create a QR code that I'll be tattooing on my chest. The goal is simple: I just want to be able to scan the tattoo with my phone and have it play the audio recording. I'm pretty sure I need to buy a domain for this, but I'm not sure if I need a website from a service like Carrd, Squarespace, or Wix, or if there's an easier way to do this without relying on third-party services. Any help in figuring out how to best accomplish this would be greatly appreciated!

Get yourself a domain and link it to the QR code. The awesome thing about owning the domain is that you can change where it points to later on if needed. Just a heads up though—QR codes can fade or get blurry over time, so keep that in mind for your tattoo!
That sounds like a cool idea! You definitely want a domain, and you can use services like Squarespace for that. But here's a tip: you might not need a full website at all! You could just have the domain redirect to an audio file stored on Google Drive or even a YouTube link; no coding required!
Yeah, I'll definitely make sure the design is simple and the size is right for clarity—going to a fine line artist for that.
