Design a tattoo you can see on your own body
Most tattoo generators hand you a square picture and wish you luck. This one asks where it goes, how big it is, and what it will look like on your skin — then shows you artists who already work that way.

How it works
1Say what you want
A subject, a style, and as much or as little detail as you have. Twenty styles, each one described in plain words rather than a dropdown of slugs.
2Put it on your body
Pick the placement on a body you can actually shape — height, build, skin tone. The size in centimetres comes from the zones you chose.
3Get four at once
Four variants from the same brief, so you are comparing directions rather than accepting the first thing you are shown.
4Take it to an artist
Download at full resolution, and find artists whose real, healed work is in the style you picked.
Twenty styles, honestly described
Not a dropdown of words. Each style is defined by what it actually does on skin, and shown with work that was classified into it and checked by a person.
Linework
Thin, even lines. Nothing filled, nothing shaded.

4,709 pieces
Ornamental
Pattern, symmetry, and shapes that follow the body.
3,538 pieces
Traditional
Bold outlines, a flat palette, and motifs that have earned their place.

1,561 pieces
It costs nothing to find out what it looks like
