Welcome to Tattoo Printer & Stencil Maker — the fastest way to turn any design into a print‑ready tattoo stencil at the exact size. Getting a clean stencil at the right size shouldn't be hard. Import a photo or drawing, convert it to crisp line art, set the exact millimetre size, mirror it, and print — on any AirPrint printer or thermal stencil paper. Every day, tattoo artists and enthusiasts use Tattoo Printer to prepare better stencils and stop wasting paper on prints that come out the wrong size. Never off by a quarter inch again. CONVERT ANY IMAGE TO A STENCIL - Turn photos, sketches, and artwork into clean black‑line stencils. - Threshold, outline, and line‑art modes with fine control. - Brightness, contrast, clean‑up, and smoothing sliders. - Erase stray marks by hand and remove the background automatically. - Import from Photos, Files, or share straight from Procreate. PRINT AT THE EXACT SIZE - Set millimetre‑ or inch‑perfect dimensions — what you measure is what prints. - Printer calibration wizard corrects any scaling so sizes are spot on. - Body‑part size presets: forearm, wrist, ribcage, full back, and more. MIRROR & TRANSFER - Flip the stencil so it transfers the right way round on skin. - Print to any AirPrint printer or thermal / stencil transfer paper. PLACEMENT PREVIEW & AR TRY‑ON - Preview the stencil on a photo of the body part before you print. - Try the design on the body live in AR, then save or share the result. TILE LARGE STENCILS - Split back pieces and sleeves across multiple sheets with overlap and crop marks, then tape them together. PAPER SIZES FOR EVERY PRINTER - A4, A3, Letter, Legal, Tabloid, and stencil‑paper presets. - Add your own custom paper size. SAVE, ORGANISE & SHARE - Save every project and reopen it anytime. - Your work saves automatically — nothing gets lost. - Place multiple designs on one sheet, with crop and layout. - Export placement previews to Photos or share them. WORKS OFFLINE - Import, convert, size, and mirror without a printer connected. You only need a printer at the final print step. TATTOO PRINTER PRO Unlock everything with a one‑time purchase — no subscription. - Unlimited projects and prints. - Advanced stencil modes (outline & line art). - All paper sizes, custom sizes, and multi‑page tiling. - Body‑part presets, printer calibration, and AR try‑on.

Design a tattoo with AI, try it on a photo of your skin, and turn it into a clean stencil you can print at the exact size. Describe an idea or start from a reference photo. LineSpark takes it from first sketch to transfer-ready stencil in one app, for tattoo artists, apprentices, and anyone planning their next tattoo. DESIGN A TATTOO FROM AN IDEA • Describe your idea in a few words, or start from a suggestion • Pick a style: Fine line, Traditional, Japanese, Blackwork, Watercolor, Geometric, or Auto • Choose black and grey or color • Refine it with simple edit instructions and keep every version • Make a stencil from any design TRY IT ON YOUR SKIN • Place a design or stencil on a photo of your arm, leg, back, or chest • On arms and legs it lines up with the limb and can bend with its curve • Drag, pinch, and use the side handles to set the width and height • Flip it, adjust the ink, or see a design in black and grey • Keep it in Try-ons, save it to Photos, or share it FROM PHOTO TO CLEAN STENCIL • Import from Photos, Files, or Camera • Crop, rotate, mirror, and prepare the reference • Choose Clean Outline, Balanced, or Detailed Texture • Generate one or more stencil variations • Compare the stencil with the original photo • Preview it in purple, black, red, and other transfer ink colors REFINE EVERY DETAIL • Draw and erase directly on the stencil • Adjust line weight, darkness, threshold, and contrast • Pan, zoom, mirror, undo, and redo • Keep project versions organized for later comparison PRINT AT THE SIZE YOU NEED • Set physical dimensions in centimeters or inches • Prepare A4, Letter, Legal, and 8.5 × 14-inch layouts • Tile larger designs across multiple pages with overlap • Add registration marks and a 100 mm calibration line • Export PDF or PNG, share, or print with AirPrint CREDITS OR UNLIMITED Pay as you create with one-time credit packs, or choose LineSpark Unlimited, a weekly subscription for unlimited stencils, AI tattoo designs, and try-ons (fair use applies). Available plans may vary. Failed, timed-out, or rejected generations do not use credits. Placing and adjusting a try-on uses nothing; it is charged once, the first time you save or share it. Editing stencils, reopening projects, and exporting stencils do not use credits. LineSpark Unlimited renews automatically every week at the price shown in the app until you cancel. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. YOUR DATA Selecting and preparing a reference does not upload it. Cloud generation sends the prepared image, instructions, and settings only after you consent. Try-ons are rendered on your device. When you finish or leave a try-on, the photo, the tattoo, and the result are uploaded to improve try-on quality; try-ons you don't keep are deleted within 90 days. App analytics events exclude your images, instructions, project names, and email. Design it. Try it on. Print the stencil.
