AI tattoo preview

Preview the ink.
On a real photo. Before you book.

Upload a photo, describe the ink, and see an AI preview of the design placed in the shot — matched to the photo's lighting, tone, and shape. Forever is a long time to guess.

Real preview

A real photo. Not a template arm.

The same shot, design off and design on. Drag to compare — a decision tool, not a transformation.

AI-generated preview — an illustrative simulation to help you decide, not a guaranteed result of the real tattoo.

Before you ask.

Yes — think of it as a virtual tattoo try-on for a photo. Instead of AR filters or stock arms, you upload a real photo, describe the design, and the AI renders it in that photo — matched to its lighting, tone, and contours. The first try-on preview is free.

Generators make designs — pictures on a white background. We show reality: a real uploaded photo, with the ink matched to the tone, lighting, and contours in the shot. You're not choosing art. You're deciding whether to commit — before you book, not after it's permanent.

Yes. The ink follows the contours in the photo, sits under its highlights, and keeps the skin texture in the shot — pores, stray hairs, all of it. It's a preview to help you decide before you book — not a promise the artist will trace it exactly.

Your photo is used to make your preview and nothing else. No account, never posted, never sold, and it's automatically deleted from our servers within 24 hours.

Yes. Upload a reference image of the design instead of (or alongside) a text description, and we'll place it on the photo.

Because it's a one-time decision. No subscription, no monthly plan — preview the design, decide, and move on. Pay once for what you use. That's it.
