AI Tattoos
Live camera, real skin
AR Tattoo Preview
Point your phone camera at your skin and watch a tattoo design appear and move with you in augmented reality. A fun way to glance at a design in motion, alongside the more precise Tattoo Studio.
What the AR tattoo preview is for
This augmented reality tattoo app feature draws a design on your skin through the camera in real time. Draw a small smiley marker on your skin with an ordinary pen, point the camera at it, and the tattoo appears and tracks as you move your arm or turn to a different angle.
It is a quick, fun way to glance at a design in motion. Like every AR tattoo experience today, tracking is not pixel-perfect, so for a careful, considered look at size and placement, the photo-based Tattoo Studio is the more accurate tool, and the one most people reach for before booking a session.
AR and Studio, side by side
Studio places a design on a still photo of your body with depth-aware warping, so you can compose and compare placements carefully. AR shows that same kind of design moving live on your skin through the camera instead. Use whichever fits the moment: AR for a quick live look, Studio when you want to get the placement exactly right.
