How does the AI tattoo try-on work?

AI Tattoo Try-On combines your body photo with a tattoo design to create a placement preview. It helps you evaluate approximate size, angle, visibility, and body placement before a consultation. It is a planning reference, not a guarantee of the final tattoo result.

Can I try multiple tattoo designs on the same photo?

Yes. You can test different tattoo designs on the same body photo, compare placements, and adjust size or rotation before generating a final preview.

What makes a good photo for tattoo preview?

Use a clear, well-lit photo where the intended placement area is visible and in focus. Avoid heavy shadows, blur, extreme angles, or cropped skin areas because those make size and placement harder to judge.

Can I adjust the tattoo size and position?

Yes. After uploading both images, you can drag the tattoo, resize it, and rotate it. This lets you compare a smaller version, a larger version, and a nearby alternate placement before generating the preview.

Is the AI preview accurate to how my real tattoo will look?

The preview is useful for planning placement, size, and orientation, but it cannot predict the final tattoo. Skin texture, body movement, ink behavior, healing, and artist technique all affect the real result. Use the preview as a reference for discussion with a professional artist.

Can I share my tattoo preview with my tattoo artist?

Yes. Download the preview and share it with your tattoo artist as a reference for approximate size, angle, and placement. Your artist can then adapt the design for the body area and final tattoo execution.
