Before you ask.

Generators make designs — pictures on a white background. We show reality: your actual photo, your skin tone, your lighting, with the ink wrapped to the shape of your body. You're not choosing art. You're deciding whether to commit to it, on you.

Yes. The ink follows your body's contours, sits under your photo's highlights, and keeps your skin's texture — pores, hairs, all of it. It's a preview to help you decide, not a promise your 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 your skin.

Because you're making a one-time decision. You don't need a monthly plan — you need to see your tattoo, decide, and move on with your life. Pay for what you use. That's it.
