How it works

1
Describe the tattoo
Write the idea, the placement and the size. Add a photo of the skin if you want to see it on your body.
2
Pick a tattoo style
Choose a style such as fine line, traditional, blackwork, Japanese or script.
3
Generate and compare
Generate a few versions, try the strongest idea in a second style, and save the design to take to your tattoo artist.

Hairline single-needle strokes and soft dotwork for a delicate, airy design with plenty of open space

American traditional flash with heavy black outlines, flat red, yellow and green fills and classic icons like swallows and roses

Bold outlines with varied weight, smooth colour blends and jewel tones, framed by ornate filigree and flowers

Loose washes of colour that bleed past the edges, held together by a light black sketch line

Exact lines, circles and polygons with dotwork shading, built around one animal, flower or symbol

Irezumi-style koi, dragons, tigers and peonies with thick outlines, waves and wind bars, and saturated colour

One idea in a few clean lines, small enough for a wrist, finger or ankle

Your words in flowing cursive or calligraphic tattoo lettering with thick-and-thin strokes and a light swash
