How to use it
How to design a tattoo with AI and try it on, in 4 steps
From a few words to a design on your skin, usually in under 20 seconds, ready to show your artist.
Describe your idea
Write the subject and any details in plain words: "a wolf howling at the moon", "a koi among waves", "a rose with a snake". No idea yet? Start from the sample design and tweak it.
Pick a style
Choose from 16 popular styles — fine line, minimalist, blackwork, Japanese, old school, neo traditional and more — or open 18 more. The 16 main styles show the same rose, so you can compare them at a glance.
Placement, detail and lettering
Tell it where the tattoo goes: the shape adapts, tall for a forearm or calf, wide for the chest. Choose simple, balanced or detailed, and add a name or a date in one of 8 lettering fonts, with Roman numerals if you like.
Try it on and download
See the design on a sample forearm, shoulder, calf or back, or on your own photo. Drag, resize and rotate it, then download the try-on, the design or a stencil for your artist.
Try it on
See your tattoo on your skin before you ink
Every design opens on a real photo of skin, not only on a white sheet. Pick a forearm, a shoulder, a calf or a back to try it on, or upload a photo of the spot you have in mind. Drag the tattoo into place, make it bigger or smaller and rotate it: the ink follows the light and shape of the skin, so you can judge size and placement before the needle ever touches you.
Download the try-on to show friends or your artist. It is the same idea as trying new clothes on your own photo before you buy them.
One idea, 16 tattoo styles
The same rose and snake in every style, so you can compare linework, shading and color side by side. Tap a style to use it.
Placement
Where each tattoo style works best
Fine line and minimalist tattoos suit small, visible spots like the wrist, the inner forearm or the ankle. Japanese, neo traditional and old school designs need room for color and background, so they shine on the shoulder, the upper arm or the back. Blackwork and tribal read from a distance on the calf, the forearm or the chest, and ornamental mandalas fit the upper back or the sternum.
Choosing a placement also changes the shape of the design: tall and narrow for a forearm or a calf, wide and symmetrical for the chest, small and simple for a wrist or an ankle.
For your artist
Turn your design into a tattoo stencil
Switch to the stencil view to get your design as clean black lines on white, the way tattoo artists trace it onto the skin. Download it and print it, or bring it to your consultation as a starting point.
Stencils work best with line-based styles like fine line, blackwork, traditional or Japanese; watercolor has no outlines to trace. To print it large, sharpen it first with the Image Upscaler.
