DermInk

DermInk is a free AI tattoo generator that turns a written prompt or reference photo into a custom tattoo concept. Users can describe a subject, style, placement, meaning, and elements to avoid, then generate up to four versions in one of 20+ tattoo styles at 1K to 4K resolution.

Key Features

• Create tattoo concepts from text prompts
• Remix an existing tattoo or sketch while keeping, removing, simplifying, or restyling details, using up to four reference images
• Convert a pet, flower, object, or illustration photo into a tattoo concept while choosing which features to preserve
• Generate stencil-style linework concepts with reduced shading for artist review (concept reference only, not transfer-ready)
• Choose between Flare or Sunburst models, aspect ratios, 1K to 4K resolution, and one to four outputs
• Placement mockups showing how designs sit on body areas such as forearm, upper back, and arm

Workflow

1. Describe the idea or upload a reference image
2. Choose model, aspect ratio, resolution, and number of outputs
3. Generate, compare, refine, and download the concept to discuss with a tattoo artist

Who It's For

People planning a tattoo who want a clear visual brief to bring to their tattoo artist. The site advises discussing placement, size, linework, contrast, and final stencil preparation with a reputable artist before getting tattooed.
