Free Tattoo Simulator – See a Tattoo on Your Photo, No Signup
A tattoo simulator is a tool that composites a digital tattoo design onto a photo of your own skin, so you can judge the real size, angle and ink density before you commit to a permanent tattoo. It is a planning aid, not a guarantee of the final result.
Your photos are processed in your browser and never uploaded unless you request an AI render.

What this tattoo simulator does
True-size simulation, not a guess
Each body part ships with a real-world width (for example a forearm template covers about 45 cm), so a 6 cm design is simulated at 6 cm.
Adjust before you commit
Move, resize, rotate, flip and fade opacity until the layout looks right, then download a PNG for your artist.
Nothing is uploaded
The simulator runs entirely in your browser. Your photo is never sent to our servers unless you explicitly start a paid AI render.
How it works
A tattoo simulator is a tool that composites a digital tattoo design onto a photo of your own skin, so you can judge the real size, angle and ink density before you commit to a permanent tattoo. It is a planning aid, not a guarantee of the final result.
- 1
Pick a placement template
Choose forearm, sleeve, ribs, back piece or 10 other placements. Each one loads with a sensible size, angle and wrap setting.
- 2
Add a design or text
Upload a tattoo design as PNG, or type a name and pick a script, gothic or typewriter font.
- 3
Tune size, angle and opacity
Drag to move, pinch or use the controls to resize, rotate and fade. Turn on curve wrap for limbs so the design follows the arm.
- 4
Download or render
Export a PNG for free, or start a paid AI render to see how the same mockup looks as healed ink with real skin texture.
