How it works

From photo to preview in four steps

  1. Photograph the spot

    Upload a photo of your arm, leg, back or wherever the tattoo will go.

  2. Add your design

    Upload artwork, generate one with AI, or type your own text. Tap around the design to cut it out from its background.

  3. Place it

    Drag, pinch and rotate the design until it sits exactly where you want it.

  4. Preview it

    Tap Create. The app finds your skin and blends the design into it. Adjust the opacity, try the alternative method, then save or share.

What’s inside

Everything you need to decide on a tattoo

AI Design Generator

Describe an idea, like “a wolf howling at the moon with geometric patterns”, and get tattoo artwork in black and white or full colour.

Text Designs

Turn a name, date or word into script lettering. Choose a font, set it horizontal or vertical, and translate it into another script.

Explore

Jump straight to tattoo inspiration on Pinterest, Instagram, Reddit and Google Images when you need ideas.

Your collection

Keep your previews in My Creations and your artwork in My Designs, then reuse any of them in a new preview.

Previewed as healed ink, not fresh ink

Black tattoo ink settles into a deep blue-black once it heals. InkVisionApp previews black and white designs in that healed tone, so what you see is closer to how the tattoo will look for years. Colour designs keep their own colours.

Questions

Good to know

Is InkVisionApp free?

Yes. The app is free to download and use. Some features show a short ad before they run.

Do you keep my photos?

Your placement photo is sent for processing to find the skin area, then the result comes back to your phone. We only store images you choose to save to your account. See the Privacy Policy for details.

How accurate is the preview?

It’s a realistic guide to size, placement and style, but every artist, ink and skin type is different. Use it to decide, then talk the design through with your tattoo artist.

Who can use the app?

InkVisionApp is for people aged 18 and over.
