AI animate a tattoo
Make your tattoo move
Some designs beg to move — a dragon that breathes, a rose that drops petals, smoke that actually drifts. The Video tool takes any tattoo design and animates it into a short clip: the linework stays true to the art while the elements you describe come alive.
- Original designs — no recycled flash sheets
- Preview any design on your own skin first
- Any style you can describe — Irezumi to fine line
- Edit, upscale for your artist and animate afterwards

Frequently asked questions
What kinds of tattoo animations work best?
Subtle, looping motion: drifting smoke, flowing water, flickering flame, breathing creatures. The animation keeps your design’s linework intact and moves the elements you call out in the instructions.
How many credits does a tattoo animation cost?
Video is the most compute-heavy tool: 30 credits per second at 720p (40 at 1080p), so a 5-second clip runs 150 credits. It isn’t covered by the 2 free starter credits — those cover a first Draft design — but a $15/month plan includes 1,000 credits, enough for several clips.
Where can I use the animated clip?
Anywhere — it downloads as a standard video file. Artists use them to promote flash on Instagram and TikTok; collectors use them to show off a healed piece’s design in motion.
