Apply to my photoWhat is the preview good for, and what is it not?
It answers the questions a photo can answer: does this size suit the spot, does the design read from a distance, does black ink or color look better on my skin tone. It does not tell you how fine lines will hold up over the years, how the design flows when the arm moves, or whether a detail is too small to tattoo cleanly. Those are questions for the artist, who will redraw the design for your body anyway.
About the examples
The before-and-after pairs on this page are illustrations made with an image model to show the kinds of placement the tool targets. They are not UniqAI outputs. Examples from real edits in the app will be added.
What it can and cannot do
The model draws the design onto the skin in your photo and aims to leave everything else unchanged, but it is a generative edit, so skin, hands or background detail can shift. Words and names inside a tattoo are not rendered reliably, so preview the picture and leave lettering to the artist. Use your own photos, or photos of adults who agreed to it.
Questions about AI Tattoo Generator
Can I see a tattoo design on my own arm before getting it done?
Yes. Photograph the spot, describe the design or pick one of the prompts above, and the model draws it onto your skin in that photo. Rerun with a different size or a photo of another spot to compare placements.
Can I upload a reference design instead of describing it?
The web app takes one photo per edit, which is the photo of your skin, so describe the design in words: subject, style, size and direction. Naming a style such as fine-line, dotwork or American traditional gets you close to most references.
How much does one tattoo preview cost?
One preview on Nano Banana costs 12 gems, shown next to the model before you generate. If a generation fails, the gems are returned. Trying three placements comes to 36 gems.
Is this a substitute for talking to a tattoo artist?
No. It helps you choose a direction, size and spot. Line weight, how the design flows with the muscle, and how it will age are the artist's call, and they will redraw the design for your body.
Can it preview a name or a quote on my skin?
Not reliably. Image models often misspell or garble lettering, so a text tattoo may come out wrong in the preview even when the placement is right. Preview the size with a placeholder shape and let the artist handle the lettering.
