About

Stencilize

Features
Read full description

Stencilize helps tattoo artists move faster from reference image to workable stencil. Take a photo or upload one from your device, generate a flattened black-and-white linework version, then save, print, AirDrop, share, or bring the result into Procreate for final edits. The app is built around a simple three-tab workflow: - Generate from camera or photo library - Review saved generations with before/after comparison - Manage credits, account recovery, support, privacy, and terms Stencilize uses credits because each AI generation has real processing cost. One credit creates one stencil, and credits are purchased through Apple In-App Purchase. Sign in with Apple is optional for account recovery, but recommended if you want credits and synced generations available across iPhone and iPad.

Tattoo Daddy turns your idea into a tattoo you can actually see - on paper and on your own skin - before you ever book a session. GENERATE UNIQUE DESIGNS WITH AI Describe your idea in your own words, pick a style (minimalist, fine line, traditional, realistic, watercolor, geometric, japanese and more), choose a color scheme or your own palette, and get a one-of-a-kind design in seconds. Add the details that matter: exact lettering, must-have elements, mood and composition. Not quite right? Regenerate or refine. TRY IT ON YOUR SKIN Take or pick a photo, place any design on your body, then move, scale and rotate it until it sits just right - or let the AI render it onto your skin with matching light and shadow. Saving a try-on uploads the finished image to your private gallery; it is visible only to you and is deleted with your account. TURN ANYTHING INTO A STENCIL Convert a design or a photo into clean, tattoo-ready line art your artist can work from. EXPLORE HUNDREDS OF IDEAS Browse a curated catalog across every major style. Save what you love and use any piece as a starting point for your own design. YOUR PRIVATE GALLERY Generated designs, liked pieces, try-ons and stencils - organized in one place, visible only to you.
