Tattoo preview editor

Before it goes under the needle: place your lettering right on a photo of your arm, skin or a wall — style, size, rotation and colour all adjustable. Runs entirely on your device, no install, no licence, free.

What it could look like

A few examples for inspiration — tap one to load that combination straight into the editor, to keep experimenting.

Artificially generated example images from this site — not photos of real customers or real tattoos.

Upload your own photo

JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 8 MB. Fill the frame with the lettering, light it evenly, no flash.

The photo is only ever processed in your browser — it never leaves your device, not even for the preview.

No photo handy? Just pick a sample surface:

Or: live preview via camera

The camera image is processed only locally in your browser, live, frame by frame — nothing is recorded or transmitted unless you click "download preview" yourself. Access ends as soon as you stop the camera or leave the page.

Preview and reality

A screen never shows the actual ink: colour and contrast look different on a display than on skin, and freshly tattooed lines change again while healing (2–4 weeks) — they can darken, spread slightly, or read differently depending on skin tone. This preview is orientation for placement, style and rough size, not a binding final result. Show your artist the preview as a starting point for the conversation, test the lettering size beforehand — printed at real scale or as henna on yourself — and have them confirm the final execution before you go under the needle.

Upload a photo, have the characters checked

For everyone who does not have the text as a file: a tattooed arm, an engraving, a draft from the tattooist. The characters are recognised and run through the same check as typed text.

JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 8 MB. Fill the frame with the lettering, light it evenly, no flash.

The image is recognized entirely in your browser and is never uploaded to this or any other server.

No photo at hand? Type the text directly

Better to check it yourself than send us photos

We're not a tattoo studio and we don't collect other people's photos — so everything here stays self-service. Just type the text into the check instead: it reads it just as reliably as a photo, and nothing ever leaves your device.

A photo the recognition can handle

Frequently asked questions

Are my photos stored or uploaded anywhere?

No. Recognition runs entirely in the browser (Tesseract.js) — no photo ever leaves your device, there is no server upload.

Which calligraphy styles can I place on my photo?

Six styles are available, and you can also adjust the size, rotation and color of the text before comparing the result.

Can I also use this to check a tattoo I already have?

Yes — photo recognition reads the text out of the image and runs it through the same technical check as typed text.
