What you can design

Artist reference

Bring a clean high-res design to your consultation. Artists appreciate a concrete starting point — saves hours of brainstorming, leaves them free to refine for your anatomy.

Memorial tattoos

Remembrance pieces for loved ones or pets. Realism + black-and-gray for portraits; fine-line for dates and names. Premium FLUX Dev for photo-level likeness.

Concept exploration

Try 4 styles of the same idea before committing. Generate the same subject as Traditional, Neo-traditional, Japanese, Fine-line and compare before your consultation.

Flash sheets

Tattoo artists building walk-in flash sheets. Generate 10-20 designs in the same style + theme for shop walls or Etsy listings.

Cover-up brainstorm

Generate larger darker designs that absorb an existing tattoo. Always consult a cover-up specialist for the actual work — they are much better at this than any model.

Shop portfolio

Apprentice tattoo artists building a style library. Practice replicating AI-generated styles on skin-substitute practice pads to expand your technique.

Free AI Tattoo Generator — FAQ

A text-to-image tool built for tattoo stencil design. 12 named-style presets (Traditional, Neo-traditional, Tribal, Japanese Irezumi, Watercolor, Minimalist fine-line, Blackwork, Geometric, Dotwork, Realism, Sketch/illustrative, Chicano, Biomechanical). Body-placement picker shapes the composition (forearm vs back vs wrist dramatically changes layout). Color-scheme picker locks the output to black-and-gray, full color, blackwork, red-accent, or pastel.

Yes — the output is a clean high-res design (1024x1024 on SDXL, 2048x2048 on FLUX Ultra premium), ideal as a reference / stencil starting point. Most artists will refine the design for your anatomy, add / remove detail, and add the linework registration for transfer paper. Treat AI output as concept art; the artist is the craftsperson.

Traditional (American old-school) = bold outlines, limited palette, nautical / pin-up / eagles. Neo-traditional = Traditional with more colors + finer detail. Tribal = bold black geometric. Japanese Irezumi = full-sleeve scenic (koi, waves, dragons). Watercolor = paint-splash aesthetic. Minimalist/fine-line = single-weight hairline work. Blackwork = solid black shapes. Realism = photo-tattoo portraits.

Yes — the placement cue folds into the prompt with layout hints. Forearm = vertical rectangular composition. Sleeve = long flowing narrative layout. Back = dramatic centered full-panel. Wrist / ankle = compact / symmetrical small design. Finger = tiny glyph-style. Pick the placement that matches where you want it inked.

Partially — describe your existing tattoo in the prompt ("large tribal band around upper arm, design must cover and disguise black tribal shapes"). The AI will bias toward larger darker designs that absorb the original. For serious cover-ups, bring the AI design + your photo to a specialist — they are much better at this than any model.

Partially — SDXL / FLUX will attempt portrait-style tattoos but faces often come out slightly off. Premium Seedream 4 and FLUX Dev are noticeably better. For tattoo portraits of specific people (memorial tattoos, children, pets), upload their photo to /image/edit/ with prompt "convert to realism-style tattoo stencil, black-and-gray, suitable for skin transfer".

The models will attempt famous-person likeness with middling success; results are often better as someone who looks like X than a perfect match. Branded characters (Mickey Mouse, Pokemon) raise trademark issues if you tattoo-shop-sell them. Personal tattoo = your call; commercial use = clear the rights first. Free.ai does not verify IP.

Yes for personal use on yourself, and yes for tattoo artists to use as reference / stencil for client work (charge them for the tattoo, not the AI design). Selling flash sheets or designs as stock requires no additional license from us, but trademark clearance is your responsibility.

BlackInk ($10/mo) and Tatoos.ai ($14.99/mo) are tattoo-specific generators with limited styles and watermarks on the free tier. InkHunter is an AR preview tool, not a generator. Free.ai gives you 12 style presets, 13 body placements, free SDXL + FLUX Schnell on self-hosted, premium FLUX Dev / Seedream / Ideogram. No watermark, commercial use, any style you can describe.

Match the intended placement. Forearm band = 3:4 or 9:16 vertical. Chest / back piece = 1:1 square. Sleeve = 9:16. Wrist / ankle / finger = 1:1 small. The aspect you generate at becomes the composition-shape the AI renders into.

Yes — add to your prompt: "geometric mandala outline filled with watercolor splash". The style preset is a strong starting cue but the prompt layers on top. Traditional + blackwork, neo-traditional + geometric, realism + dotwork shading all render well. Experiment with the 4-variation mode.

Yes — POST to /v1/image/generate/ with {"prompt": "...", "model": "sdxl", "tool": "image-tattoo", "style_preset": "traditional", "aspect_ratio": "3:4"}. Full curl recipe at /api/.
