Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the tattoo preview?

It is a realistic visual concept, not a stencil. Size, placement and how the ink heals can differ in real life, so bring the idea to a tattoo artist and let them draw the final version for your body.

Which photos work best for trying on a tattoo?

A sharp, well-lit photo of a bare forearm, upper arm, wrist, shoulder, calf or ankle. Keep the whole area in the frame and don't include faces.

Can I preview a tattoo I already have a design for?

Describe it in a sentence and pick the closest style. The AI draws a new tattoo from your description; it can't copy an uploaded design exactly.
