AI virtual tattoo simulator
A tattoo simulator that actually looks real
Most tattoo simulator apps float a PNG over your camera feed and call it AR. This one re-renders the design into your photo — respecting line weight, ink saturation, skin texture and the direction of light — so what you see is a photorealistic simulation of the healed tattoo, not a sticker.
- 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
How is this different from AR tattoo apps?
AR apps overlay a flat image in real time, which is fun but never convincing — the ink doesn’t bend, the lighting doesn’t match. This simulator generates a new photorealistic image from your photo and the design, so the tattoo follows your anatomy and the scene’s light.
Is the simulator free to use?
Simulations run on credits — 6 credits per Standard render, with plans from $15/month for 1,000 credits. New accounts get 2 free credits, which cover generating your first Draft tattoo design to simulate.
Can I simulate a design I already have saved?
Yes. Upload any design image — something you generated here, a commissioned sketch or a flash you bought — and simulate it on your photo. You own the results either way.
