FAQ
Tattoo generator questions
What is a tattoo generator?
A tattoo generator is an online tool that turns a written idea into tattoo design concepts. Ours uses AI to create tattoo-style artwork based on your description, chosen style, placement, size and color.
Is the tattoo generator free?
You can start for free. Every new account gets 20 credits with no payment details, and each generation uses 1 credit. If you need more, the Creator and Pro plans add more credits.
Can I generate custom tattoo ideas?
Yes. Describe anything from a single symbol to a detailed scene. The generator produces original artwork for your description rather than picking from a catalog of stock designs.
Can I choose a tattoo style?
Yes. There are 14 styles, including minimalist, fine line, traditional, neo traditional, blackwork, geometric, tribal, gothic, watercolor, realism, Japanese, old school, sketch and dotwork.
Can I download my tattoo design?
Yes. Every design is saved to your account, and you can download the image from the result screen or from My Designs.
Can I use the design as inspiration for a tattoo artist?
That's exactly what it's for. Treat generated designs as concepts and reference material, then work with a professional tattoo artist who can adapt the idea to your body, skin and their own style.
