Found a tattoo you love on Pinterest? See it on your own skin before you commit. Browse tattoo designs by category, tap the one you like, and it lands straight on your camera — at the size, angle and spot you choose. A tattoo is permanent. This is the cheapest way to find out whether you really want it. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a style — abstract, realistic, pop art, Japanese, lettering and more 2. Tap any design you like 3. The camera opens with that design on your skin 4. Move, resize and rotate it until the placement feels right 5. Take the shot, save it, or send it to your artist BROWSE WITHOUT LEAVING THE APP Thousands of tattoo ideas, sorted by style. No copying links, no switching apps, no downloads. Tap a design and you are already trying it on. Sign in with your own Pinterest account to keep browsing beyond the preview. BRING YOUR OWN DESIGN Have a design somewhere else? Share it to this app or pick it from your gallery. The background is removed automatically, so only the linework lands on your skin. REALISTIC PLACEMENT • Automatic background removal — the ink, not the white square around it • Ink blending that sits on the skin instead of floating over it • Eraser to tuck the design around curves and edges • Multiple layers, so you can build a full sleeve piece by piece FOR TATTOO ARTISTS • Stencil mode — threshold any design down to clean black-and-white linework • Export to PDF at real print size in centimetres, ready for thermal paper • Print-resolution output (3000 px — around 25 cm at 300 DPI) • Save client mockups and send them before the appointment PREMIUM The app is free to try. Premium lifts the try-on limit and removes the watermark from saved designs. Subscription auto-renews. Cancel any time in Settings at least 24 hours before renewal.
