Preview it on real skin before you book
Every design can be placed on a photo of your own body first — see the fit before it’s permanent.
Free to open — the advisor costs nothing. A round of 4 directions costs 4 credits, and your 8 free credits cover two rounds.
How the AI tattoo generator works
MyInk starts like a simple generator, then gives you clear next steps when a design is worth exploring further.
Start with 8 Credits
Make four genuinely different directions, then use the second free round on the one that feels closest.
Choose and Continue
Branch into four more ideas, polish the design, or change one selected detail without starting over.
Check the Real Decision
After choosing a design, compare placement and scale on your body, then take it to a professional artist.
Your 8 free credits cover two full rounds. Nothing is charged until you approve the brief.

“I’ll regret this in 10 years.”
Aging Simulator
Day 1 → Year 20 on the same design. Free.

“AI gets cultural characters wrong.”
Meaning Composer
A short guided story turns into symbol directions you can review — no literal kanji guess.
Honoring without being literal.

Not quite right? Mark it up on the canvas.
Circle the part that needs to change and add a short note. The edit is constrained to that area and asks the model to preserve the rest of the composition.
Before
After
A whole-design polish or one selected-area edit uses 1 credit. The rest of the project stays available in the same version history.

What Is MyInk.ai?
MyInk.ai is a free AI tattoo generator that turns a description into custom tattoo directions. Describe an idea, compare styles, and preview the result on your actual body — all before stepping into the tattoo studio.
MyInk supports 10 curated visual styles, from bold Traditional and intricate Japanese to clean Minimalist and expressive Watercolor. These are design references; your artist still decides what line weight, spacing, and scale will work on skin.
The virtual try-on feature uses your own photo to preview a design on your forearm, shoulder, back, or any other placement. When a direction is worth taking seriously, the artist-ready upgrade adds refined variants, stencil notes, and consultation prep for your tattoo artist.
Trusted Tattoo Planning Resources

Alliance of Professional Tattooists
Professional artists repeatedly recommend bringing strong references and clarifying direction before the consultation begins.
FDA: Tattoo and Ink Guidance
Federal guidance reinforces that planning, source quality, and aftercare all matter once a tattoo moves from concept to skin.
