Your phone was never supposed to be this useful in the studio. Wizard ToolZ is the artist utility kit tattooers whisper about after a good session — six serious tools in one spellbook, built by Richard Detore at Electric Shark Tattoo and tuned on real skin, real ink, and real deadlines. No account. No cloud processing. No ads. Your references, your photos, your machine hum — handled on your iPhone or iPad, offline. Whether you tattoo full time, apprentice on weekends, illustrate, paint, or cram for a color-theory final, this is the toolbox that makes your work read before you commit. THE SIX SPELLS ◆ LIGHT SPELL — Interactive value study See if your color work holds up — before it heals wrong. Live black-and-white on skin through the camera, or drop in any reference and study it beside a honest grayscale map. Posterize planes. Value layers. Rule-of-thirds grid. Export a framed still or a short motion clip (color → value) for Instagram, client approval, or your own critique reel. Tattooers check contrast; art students run homework through the same lens. ◆ CHROMA HEX — Color wheel & 40+ art-style palettes Tap any color from a photo and spin complementary, triadic, and analogous harmonies — then go deeper: dedicated palettes for 40+ art movements, each with bite-sized history on the painters who broke the rules. Plan sleeve accents, teach a class, or settle an ink-tray debate without guessing. Interactive color theory that actually lives in your hand. ◆ STENCIL ENGINE — Photo to line art, multipage print The workflow you already know — faster. Edge work, tone curve, background cutout, invert for film logic. Multipage layouts for back pieces and leg sleeves: letter, sticker sheet, tiled quarters. PDF and PNG export. A back-piece stencil to the printer in minutes, not an hour at the desktop. ◆ LOOKING GLASS — Hands-free reference stack Up to four references, cross-fading on a timer — or switch layers with your voice while your gloves stay on the machine. “Next.” “Layer two.” “Slower.” Sterile studio energy. Voice runs on-device when your iPhone supports it. ◆ GRIMOIRE — Secure portfolio for iPad Lobby slideshow for walk-ins. QR handoff so clients browse healed work on their own phone — same shop Wi‑Fi, no app download. Guest lock so nobody snoops your camera roll. Face ID artist exit. Your portfolio stays on your device, not our servers. ◆ MACHINE TUNER — Coil Hz readout Park the phone near the coil and read frequency in Hz — Stable or Live mode, tuned for tattoo-machine hum and buzz. Old-school artists used guitar tuners. This one knows the studio. WHY ARTISTS KEEP IT ON THE HOME SCREEN • Offline first — photos, camera, mic, and exports stay on your device unless you Share • Built for tattoo workflow; equally loved by illustrators, painters, and art students • No Wizard ToolZ login — ever • From the studio behind Ink Weasel and Electric Shark Tattoo • iPhone and iPad — Grimoire shines on the lobby iPad; Light Spell and Stencil Engine love the phone in your pocket WHO IT’S FOR Tattoo artists. Apprentices. Shop owners running lobby iPads. Art students hunting value and color harmony. Illustrators who want a reference stack without touching the screen. Anyone who’s ever said “I wish my phone could just… do the studio thing.” Download Wizard ToolZ. Open the spellbook. Cast better work.
