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.
