Don’t work.

Idk why pr what’s going on. But it cont work

Love this app!

My instructor told us to download this app to get better acquainted with our needle cartridges and the whole tattoo experience, including how to not over work your area when working on your client. This app is amazing and it’s been teaching me so much on what cartridge to use to all different techniques for doing my work to properly packing my color without over working my area. It’s been a game changer for me. I’m so grateful for it, I just wish I could also get it on my iPhone. Other than that, it’s perfect.

Curious about new updates and ideas

Hey I like this app so far and I honestly wish it had so much more to offer and look forward to. My biggest thing I feel like should be fixed or added ASAP… is the SOUND……. this app could really need it…. I’m also curious about all the ideas and plans that the creators and developers have in the future to add to it I seriously would love if you could somehow post or list somewhere all of it so us users can see it and know whats going on……. So please reply to this and let me know and if you do that I will give you my word and change me 1 star to a 5 star and rewrite a new review post for you….THANK YOU…

App developer is constantly making updates

This app will simulate practicing on skin better than any app I’ve ever tried. The developer is keen on using a lot of the offerings that Apple's Xcode APK provides between the hardware and software. For example with the Apple Pencil’s sensitivity and needle angles etc. You can tell this app was made by tattoo artists for tattoo artists.

After spending more time with the app… needs way more work.

I gave a better review before I had spent some more time on the app in colour. It isn’t realistic at all when it comes to colour. Black should almost just stay on the top layer, but when using the app, it tattooed directly on top of the black. I spent an hour lining the other day, then shaded for an hour, then went to colour & realized I would have to start with a medium colour, get darker until eventually getting to black, lining, then doing the brightest colours then white. It just isn’t helpful for practicing. Also, the needle sizes are at least double the size they should be. The only way this app would work properly, is if you‘re working on super small pieces or you‘re zooming way into specific parts of larger tattoos. Which isn’t very helpful. This is the closest anyone has come to real tattooing, but still far off. I have faith that you can fix these issues. You‘re doing an awesome job for being one tattoo artist making a complex app like this. I might have missed Settings or something & it could be my fault, but the learning curve isn’t worth it when you still have to figure out how to do things in a completely different order.

Also, I know you turned ratings & comments off because of toxic older artists, but tons of people make tattooing tutorials & siminars on YouTube now. It would be cool to be able to discuss & see what other people think on ALL videos(old ones too). They‘re making the thumbs down count invisible to the public now anyways.

Okay app

Some of the functions are no longer available. Such as import photo and skin damage. Can’t update either

Please read

This is good for practicing but the auto-save is driving me crazy also when u are shading or lining it gets blurry
Please fix these problems I’ll appreciate it

Good Concept - Needs Work

Using an iPad Pro with the most up to date software:

Liners don’t damage the “skin”. Screen tap functions to undo/redo features don’t work. If you need to adjust the sensitivity of the application because you’re using a screen protector there is no guide as to how much adjustment is required to make the application more accurate. Good way to introduce tattooing to people but like I said, it needs work.

One of its kind so no matter what anybody says it must be 5 star

The skin damage feature needs a lot work i would say however I cannot even imagine how difficult it must be to balance it while taking into account so many variables like hand speed pressure different needles and their movement as it all plays significant roll in reality ... however, the app itself it’s great despite anything you could say against ... it’s the only one of its kind and great practise tool. I wish there was more round shaders to choose from and maybe greywash which would act more like black diluted with water rather than grey ink. All in all I wish more people buy your product so you can in return spend more time perfecting the app.

Doesn’t work for my iPad for some reason

It’s only the tattooing part that doesn’t work for me for some reason. I have an IPad Pro and the Apple Pencil, and just for some reason the tattooing part doesn’t work. Everything else works fine like the drawing and uploading picture but I don’t get the alert that no “ink is in” or really any response from the tattooing part like I said. I watched all the videos because maybe it was user error but nothin.

I’m hooked

I love it, I’m totally hooked on it👍🏼👍🏼😎

Best tool available

Couldn’t ask for much more other than a rotate needle feature. Is it as good as practicing on real skin or even fake skin... no. But it’s the closest thing you’re going to get.

Good concept but not there yet.

Good concept but not there yet. The skin damage feature is unrealistic, there’s no way the skin can be that damage after one single pass. The voltage to hand speed ration is off. I “damage” the skin far more when I run the machine in low voltage than if I run it on high which makes no sense. Some nice features here but not as realistic. Fun app to play with, but wouldn’t help you be better as a tattoo artist. The only feature I think was cool to play with is the ink mixing and color palette.

Please help

I’m having difficulty drawing it doesn’t show any lines when trying to stencil but when I click on one of the symbols within the app it works showing that the pen is working but won’t do nothing when I come to draw or tattoo ??

Not too useful for me

I guess I am used to much faster machines when I work. I had the setting in the app all the way "up" but still had to "work" way slower than I do in actual time. Also the mags didn't correspond to the size of the screen for me. The largest mags looked more like 7's or 9's, and there is no way to adjust the size of the image once you are "tattooing" it, so I found it a bit awkward. I will say, the colour collections are nice and pretty similar to how the colours look IRL. I'm sure some will find it more useful than I did.

Not working

This app is not working for me.. everything on the app works but when I press on the screen to tat or trace nothing happens at all .. and yes I picked the colors .. still won’t work I even deleted the app and tried re downloading it and still won’t work. Would have gave it no stars ...I bought an iPad and an Apple Pencil just for this garbage app

Response from developer

Picking the colors is the first step, but one must select a needle configuration and “dip” the needle into a color before drawing can occur. One can refer to the user guide within the app for help learning to use the features. Since the app has been working correctly on other iPad Pros and 7th gen iPads, I can assure that the app is not garbage. Sending me an email with issues so I can help troubleshoot is much more desireable than a damaging review.

Finally!

Worth every penny!
Ive been looking for something like this for a long time.
Its the closest thing to a real tattoo session.

A Hidden gem!

I had a horrible half assed apprenticeship, and I feel like this had brought my game to a whole new level. I’m able to experiment and try new techniques, that I otherwise would’ve been to afraid to try on an actual client. I’ve been tattooing professionally for a couple of years, and this has made a world of difference! Thank you sir.

This is amazing

As an apprentice tattooer, I must say that this app is all kinds of awesome! Only a couple changes or things I would add but that’s really just a preference thing. Have and will continue to recommend!

Try it you will like it!!!!!!!!!!

This App is a dream come true for people who are interested in learning how to tattoo or even for advanced tattoo artists to practice.

This App is the closest thing I have found to tattooing!!!

Great Job and Thanks For Making and Sharing It!!!

Response from developer

Thank you for the review. I took your concerns into consideration and added an undo/redo feature into version 1.65. It is limited to 20 undos and only affects the tattoo layer. Two-finger tap will undo and three-finger tap will redo. I also decreased the size of the 3-liner and made the canvas rotateable and draggable. A quick pinch-zoom will reset the canvas. I’ll await user feedback to see if this is a good feature or not. Saved projects could experience misalignment of the stencil layer with this update, but the user should be able to reposition the stencil and save again.
