About

Dotsed

Features
Read full description

Pictures are not a plan. Dotsed is the tattoo planner for one place on your body. Save what belongs, keep why it matters, and walk into the consult with a brief โ€” not a camera roll. WHAT YOU GET โ€ข One project per placement โ€” full back, forearm, ribs, hand, and more โ€ข References you like and ones to avoid, in one workspace โ€ข Voice or text notes that become a clear summary โ€ข Tattoo Artist Questions so the brief gets sharper over time โ€ข A brief you can read in the app or export as PDF โ€ข Daily Inspiration matched to this project โ€” not a feed HOW IT WORKS 1. Start with a place on you. 2. Add photos, voice, and the artists you trust. 3. Hand your artist a brief they can actually use. Dotsed does not draw the tattoo. It is not an AI generator, marketplace, booking tool, or AR try-on. Private by default. Works offline. Free to start. 18+. For adults planning a tattoo they will wear.
