InkPreview

InkPreview is an AI-powered tattoo simulator that helps you see how a design might look on your own skin before you ink it. Upload a clear photo of the area you’re considering, pick a design (or generate one), and get a realistic preview in about 10 seconds.

Use the simulator to adjust size, rotation, and placement, and to explore ideas for spots like the forearm, shoulder, back, chest, or wrist. It also includes tools beyond visualization—such as a stencil generator for quick transfer-ready outlines and options to explore cover-up concepts on existing tattoos.

Choose from a style library spanning Japanese irezumi, geometric patterns, minimalist fine line, photorealism, watercolor, blackwork, tribal, neo-traditional, and more. Download results with HD export options (including a free tier) and, on higher tiers, export multiple variations for comparison during consultations or planning.

Is InkPreview a real tattoo service?

No—InkPreview provides AI-generated visual previews for reference only. It doesn’t provide tattooing services.

How do I use the tattoo simulator?

Upload a clear body photo, choose a design (or generate one), then review the mapped preview. You can resize, rotate, and try different placements.

Does InkPreview work without an account?

Yes. You can try it free with no sign-up needed.

Can I download previews in higher resolution?

Yes. HD export is available, with different resolution options depending on your plan, including a free tier download size.

What is the stencil generator for?

It converts an image into a clean tattoo stencil outline that can be downloaded as a PNG. It’s designed to help tattoo artists prepare transfer-ready stencils for consultations.

Can InkPreview help with cover-ups?

Yes. You can upload an existing tattoo, and InkPreview can suggest cover-up concepts intended to work with the lines and shading of your current ink.
