Overview
- Avoid tattoo regret by testing any design at different sizes and placements on your own photo before you book — the built-in placement and scaling tools let you iterate until it's right.
- See a preview that reads like a real tattoo instead of a sticker pasted on a picture, because the design warps to the curve of your skin and adapts to the light in your photo.
- Start previewing a tattoo instantly with no signup, no download, and nothing to pay in the free browser version that runs on any phone or desktop.
- Find a design that fits your taste without scrolling endless galleries, thanks to thousands of original designs drawn in-house across every common style and placement.
- Get a tattoo idea drawn to your exact description in 30 different styles using the AI artist, then request tweaks and detail changes until the sketch matches what you pictured.
- Wear names, dates, quotes, and verses exactly how you want them with custom lettering across 59 real tattoo lettering faces, adjustable in curve, spacing, and position.
- Turn your own drawing or a tattoo you love elsewhere into a usable design with the Extract feature, which cleanly lifts artwork off a photo or paper for preview on your body.
- See the tattoo from every angle before committing by turning the 3D model of your body built from a single photo, so nothing about the final look is a surprise.
- Build a shortlist you can compare side by side without losing progress, since every tried-on design is automatically saved to your profile even if you close the app mid-way.
- Try everything free for three days with unlimited access, then keep going on a weekly or annual subscription.
