Why preview

It's permanent. The decision doesn't have to be blind.

A tattoo is a few hundred dollars, a few hours in the chair, and the rest of your life on your skin. The one question a flash sheet can't answer is the one that matters: how does it look on you, there, at that size.

Decide with your eyes

Placement, size, black & grey versus colour - see each option on your own body instead of imagining it. Thirty cents per look beats years of "should've gone smaller".

The design stays the design

The preview reproduces your artist's linework exactly - composition, proportions, lettering character for character. It never redraws or "improves" the piece, because you're deciding on that piece, not a variation of it.

For artists too

Show a client their flash on their own shoulder before the appointment. Clients who've seen the placement commit faster, sit calmer, and reschedule less.

How it works

Two uploads, one honest look.

1

Upload both parts

A clear photo of the body part - bare skin, decent light - and the design as its own image: sketch, flash sheet or digital drawing, ideally on a plain background.

2

Set size and style

Small, medium or statement-piece large. As designed, black & grey, or fine line. Healed and settled, or freshly inked. Defaults keep the design exactly as drawn.

3

Look, then decide

The preview renders in a few minutes. Run a couple of sizes side by side, save the one that feels right, and take it to your artist.

FAQ

Try-on questions, answered straight.

The generation is locked to reproduce your design's exact linework, composition, elements and proportions - never redrawn, simplified or 'improved'. It wraps the design around your body's contours with realistic ink saturation and your photo's own lighting. Lettering and script are preserved character for character.
No, and be wary of anything that claims otherwise. It shows how this design sits on your body at this size - which is exactly what you need for the decision. The real result also depends on your artist's hand, your skin, and how the ink settles over years. Bring the preview to your artist; the final call is a conversation between you two.
Two things. One clear photo of the body part where you want the tattoo - bare skin visible, decent light - and the design as its own image: a sketch, flash sheet, or digital drawing, ideally on a plain background. Nothing else in your photo is changed.
Size (small and subtle, medium, or a large statement piece), ink style (exactly as designed, black & grey, or fine line), and the look - healed and settled into the skin, or freshly inked. By default the preview keeps your design's own colours.
Yes. Upload the client's photo (with their permission) and your flash, and show them the piece on their skin before the appointment. It's a few cents per preview, and clients who have seen the placement commit faster and reschedule less.
No. Buy a pack and use it whenever - credits sit in your account until you spend them, and they work across every Phoxel niche.
