Frequently Asked Questions

Upload a photo of the body area you want to test, then choose from preset tattoo designs, type custom text, or upload your own PNG design. Drag, scale, rotate, and adjust the opacity/blend mode to preview how the tattoo will look on your skin. Download the result to share with your tattoo artist or friends.

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript Canvas API. Your photos and designs are never uploaded to any server. We respect your privacy β€” nothing leaves your device.

We recommend uploading PNG images with transparent backgrounds for the best results. WebP with transparency and SVG files are also supported. For realistic simulation, ensure your design has a clean transparent background so it blends naturally with your skin tone in the preview.

Try the Multiply blend mode β€” it mimics how ink interacts with skin by darkening underlying tones. Adjust opacity to around 70-85% for a more natural look. For black ink tattoos, Multiply + 75-85% opacity usually yields the most realistic simulation. Also ensure your photo has even lighting for best results.

Yes! You can add up to 8 tattoo layers simultaneously. Each layer can be independently positioned, scaled, rotated, and styled. Click on a layer badge to select it, then adjust its properties. This is perfect for planning tattoo sleeves or testing how multiple designs work together.

Absolutely. The simulator is fully responsive and touch-optimized. On mobile, you can drag tattoos with one finger, use the sliders for precise adjustments, and pinch-to-zoom on the canvas. All features work seamlessly across desktop, tablet, and smartphone devices.

Use a well-lit, clear photo of the body area where you want the tattoo. Avoid heavy shadows or filters. The area should be visible and unobstructed. For best results, take the photo straight-on (not at an angle) so the tattoo design maps correctly onto the skin surface. Natural daylight works best.
