Live AR, on real skin

Tattoo Try-On in Live AR

See your next tattoo on your own body before you ever get inked. Point your camera at your skin and watch the design appear in real time, from every angle.

Real footage of the AR tattoo try-on: a hand draws a small smiley marker on an arm, then the phone camera shows the tattoo appearing on the skin in augmented reality.

Why try on a tattoo before you get inked

A flat image on a screen cannot tell you how a tattoo will actually sit on your body. Size, placement and the way a design wraps around a curve are things you can only judge on your own skin. Tattoo try-on closes that gap: you see the real design, at real scale, exactly where you plan to put it, so there is no guessing and no regret once the needle starts.

For first-timers especially, that certainty matters. Trying on a tattoo before booking a session means you walk into the studio already sure about size and placement, not hoping it looks right once it is permanent.

A live tattoo simulator, not a static photo overlay

This is not a filter that pastes a picture over a screenshot. The AR tattoo try-on tracks your skin as you move, so the design stays locked in place while you turn your arm, change the light, or check it from a different angle. It behaves like a tattoo, not like a sticker.

Works with every design the app makes

Try on anything AI Tattoos can create: a design from the AI tattoo generator, a piece turned from a photo with image to tattoo, or ink-ready art from sketch to tattoo. Generate, restyle, and preview on your skin, all in the same flow.

How tattoo try-on works

  1. Pick or generate a design

    Any design works: AI-generated from a text prompt, picked from the gallery, or turned from a photo or sketch.

  2. Mark your skin, open the camera

    Draw a small smiley marker on your skin with an ordinary pen, then point your phone camera at it.

  3. Watch it appear in real time

    The tattoo appears on your skin in live AR and follows as you move, so you can check size, placement and style from every angle.

Frequently asked questions

How does the tattoo try-on work?

You draw a small smiley marker on your skin, point your phone camera at it, and the app renders your chosen tattoo design on your skin in live AR, tracking it as you move.

Do I need to draw on my skin?

Yes. A small smiley marker drawn with an ordinary pen gives the AR camera a point to anchor the design to. It is only a placement guide for the preview.

Can I try on any design?

Yes. Anything the app can create works with try-on: designs from the AI tattoo generator, from the gallery, or turned from a photo or a hand-drawn sketch.

Is the AR preview realistic?

The design tracks your skin live, at real size and in the exact placement you choose, so you get a genuine sense of scale and position from any angle. It is a preview to help you decide, not a photorealistic simulation.

Is tattoo try-on free?

AI Tattoos is free to download, with in-app purchases available. You can try the AR preview without any upfront cost.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. AI Tattoos is available on both the App Store and Google Play.
