Do not buy. ### 3/5 — Did not work *2024-10-13, version 1.1.1* I tried to enter the description many different ways. This app could not get it right. ### 1/5 — Weak AI *2024-10-09, version 1.1.1* Generic images nothing worth tattooing should be red flag 1 having an app show you what you want, talk to your artist. ### 1/5 — Ugh *2024-10-02, version 1.1.1* Definitely wish I would have read the reviews before getting this. It initially seems great but it doesn’t use the prompt words you give most of the time and when you “regenerate” you get repetitive tries. Definitely a gimmick. Bummer really, don’t waste your money! ### 3/5 — Very nice *2024-09-29, version 1.1.0* Lots of fun and I love the try on option. Needs improvement on drawing what you ask for. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t deliver what it promises *2024-09-29, version 1.1.0* Does not deliver what it promises. Makes you pay upfront and gives you trash results. Save yourself time and money. ### 1/5 — SCAM I PAID AND THERE OSNT A WAY TO CANCEL *2024-09-16, version 1.0.9* This is a scam. Their Zendesk doesn’t even support ### 1/5 — Guaranteed satisfaction *2024-09-09, version 1.0.9* Is there a satisfaction guarantee for money back? I am not satisfied with the outcomes and don’t believe I can get what I am looking for in a tattoo. I paid for a year but will not be using it for more than a day. It may be useful to some people but it’s not for me. ### 1/5 — The ai engine needs more training *2024-09-07, version 1.0.9* Luckily I didn’t pay for any subscriptions because whatever ai this uses needs LOTS more work. It wasn’t able to produce a decent scorpion Hint THEY HAVE TAILS it did produce a decent deer but ignored my other requested elements. Definitely NOT worth paying for at all Definitely lost potential. ### 1/5 — Awful *2024-09-07, version 1.0.9* First off I marked the lesser amount to charge in intervals and it did not. It charged me the whole amount! Second, I typed in words and it gave me time pieces and sail boats over and over typing in different things! I want my money back because I cancelled within minutes. ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-09-05, version 1.0.9* So I downloaded this app and initially loved it. I thought it was a good idea. Unfortunately I only got to try it a few times, each design sucked btw, and now even when not using Pro settings I’m not allowed to test a design without buying Pro. I’ll be honest with you I probably would have subscribed if the trial was more honest. For example actually letting the free options be free for more than three designs. What’s the point of having ‘free’ options if you’re not going to let anyone use them? Like I tried it out and when I used up my designs it told me to wait. Because I’d used, and I quote, “all of your daily designs.” Well guess what. It’s been two weeks. What happened to daily? Deleted. Hate it now. Scammy. Something tells me it’s not actually as worth it as people think it is if they have to cash grab so hard. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money! *2024-09-05, version 1.0.9* Waste of money. There is some cool designs already on the app, but what you type in to generate is nowhere close to what was entered. Thought it was going to be something really cool to use…it’s not. It’s really not worth it. Also if it says you get 50% off don’t click on it. It still charges you the full amount. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Limit? *2025-07-01, version 1.1.3* I bought a year of pro subscription but there’s a limit to how many tats I generate? Wow! That’s not right. ### 1/5 — Extremely bad *2025-03-25* 10 year old can create better tattoo designs than this ai ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2025-03-02, version 1.1.2* Not at all what I expected. It spelled words incorrectly and designs are very generic. Not worth the $40 I paid for a pro account. What a huge waste of money. ### 1/5 — Costs $39.99 to use *2025-02-09, version 1.1.2* Can’t even try it out before paying $40 ### 1/5 — Really bad quality of tattoo designs *2025-01-29* The quality of the generated tattoos is really bad. The ai doesn’t understand the prompts properly. even when being really detailed it never creates anything nice. Waste of money and not possible to get a refund for trial. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2025-01-26, version 1.1.2* Tattoos are super basic and the AI is garbage. Don’t spend money on this ### 1/5 — Next Ink *2025-01-20, version 1.1.2* 👎🏻 ### 1/5 — Rip off *2025-01-06, version 1.1.2* I downloaded the app thinking it was interesting and cool. I didn’t want to subscribe for 1 year so I opted for the cheaper version. But I found out that I was actually charged for the whole year. The AI drawing are repetitive and don’t even make sense. I’d give zero stars if I could. This app is a rip off. DO NOT GET IT!!! ### 1/5 — No good *2024-12-19* All very repetitive AI very poor ### 1/5 — Design *2024-11-20, version 1.1.1* The designs look like done from a kiddo. Some of them are errors for instance animals with 2 noses. Clearly is way too expensive for the app and is fake the advertisement. I am requesting my refund. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — New *2025-04-06, version 1.1.2* I’ve just started using this app, so won’t waste words except to say I didn’t like the first image loved the second and will give an in depth true review after more use ### 5/5 — Tattoo app *2025-02-13, version 1.1.2* This app is so cool. It generates your ideas into several different styles. Absolutely love it! ### 5/5 — I lost my pet pig and was and still very saddened because of the loss. I wanted a tattoo a beautiful *2025-02-02, version 1.1.2* The pictures they came up with of pigs were what night mares are made of. Ask for a refund 30 minutes after getting this app. No refund. So a got this app for a year , I deleted it the same day. Please don’t waste your money ### 5/5 — Pretty cool *2024-09-02* I enjoyed playing around with it and seeing what it came up with ### 5/5 — Best Tattoo App *2024-08-23, version 1.0.8* This tattoo app is amazing! The design tools are intuitive, and the realistic preview feature helped me find the perfect tattoo. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — App *2024-07-10, version 1.0.2* App works great designs great tattoo ### 4/5 — Debbie *2025-02-25, version 1.1.2* Fun ### 4/5 — Great Tattoo app *2024-11-19, version 1.1.1* So the app does have a few flaws. When describing what I wanted, it gave me some odd results. I had to play with my words a little bit. Then I had to regenerate it a few times. The app is cheap and I purchased the Pro because I’m getting my sleeves done. One thing that I couldn’t get to work on the app was the picture placement for my tattoo. Anyway, I do like the idea of the app. ### 4/5 — Cool app *2024-09-23, version 1.1.0* Please ad where we can take a picture and save it so we can overlay multiple favorite images or try multiple images without having to take a picture everytime. Would be cool to add multiple images on the try on feature as well. Good app tho ### 3/5 — Would not recommend *2025-04-06* Absolutely does not embody your life’s essence in any manner. Wouldn’t waste my time on this --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
