"Last time I wished I hadn't made the tattoo bigger. That will never happen again! Such a relief to test the exact size and placement at home first."

Create your own

Your own image or your own text — right on the skin

  • Upload your sketch. Shoot it on white paper — our AI automatically makes the white background transparent so only the lines show on the skin. You can fine-tune tolerance and edges, or key out a different color.

  • Write a text tattoo. Choose from 18 tattoo fonts — script, blackletter, stencil and handwriting — curve the text in an arc and try it at 1:1 scale.

  • Lock the placement. Once size and placement feel right, lock the design — then you can record video, and the size adapts to the distance to your arm or leg.
