Question 1

What image should I upload?

Accepted Answer

Any tattoo design or reference image works — a photo of a tattoo, a piece of flash art, or an AI-generated design. Higher contrast, simpler images convert more cleanly.

Question 2

What's the difference between the free and AI conversion?

Accepted Answer

The free fallback uses basic edge detection and works on any image, but the lines can be rough. The AI conversion (3 credits) redraws the image as a clean, continuous-line stencil made specifically for tattooing.

Question 3

Can I print this at the actual size I want my tattoo?

Accepted Answer

Yes — use "Print it at real size" after converting. It builds a PDF with the stencil scaled to your exact width in cm, plus a 5cm ruler so you can verify your printer didn't rescale it.

Question 4

Do I need an account?

Accepted Answer

You can upload and preview freely. Converting to a stencil (even the free fallback) requires a free account so we can track your credits.

Question 5

Is this a replacement for a tattoo artist?

Accepted Answer

No — this is a preparation tool. Your stencil and design are AI-generated references; your artist will review and adapt them before your appointment.
