Tattoo Maker – Build and Place a Tattoo Design, Free
A tattoo maker is a tool for assembling a tattoo before it is tattooed: combining artwork with script text, stacking several pieces into one layout and setting the final scale. It is the closest match to what you do at a tattoo desk, where the artist composes on paper before touching skin.
