What is Tatship?
Tatship is a web and mobile tattoo simulator that lets people preview tattoo ideas on photos of their own body before booking an artist. It pairs a 3D virtual try-on with design tools like a font generator, a photo-to-stencil converter, and an AI design generator. Customers use it to test placement, size, and style; tattoo studios use it to make client consultations less guesswork.
Why Tatship works
Most tattoo regrets come from skipping the visualization step between idea and ink. Tatship collapses that gap by mapping designs onto a real body photo with skin tone and curvature blending, so the decision is based on what the tattoo will actually look like instead of a flat reference image. That shared preview also gives the artist a clearer brief than a Pinterest board.
Tatship features
- 3D virtual try-on. Uploads a body photo or uses the camera to overlay a tattoo with realistic skin tone and curvature, so customers can judge placement and scale before committing.
- Tattoo font generator. Turns custom text into tattoo-style lettering with multiple script options, which removes the need to source typography separately.
- Photo to stencil converter. Converts a personal photo into a tattoo-ready stencil so people can carry meaningful images into the studio without a custom artist commission.
- AI tattoo generator. Produces original tattoo concepts from a text prompt so users can explore styles they cannot describe well in words.
- Design upload and remix. Imports flash sheets, screenshots, or other reference designs to combine with the try-on view, useful when a customer arrives with mixed inspiration.
Who Tatship is for
- Walk-in customers who want to see a design on their own forearm or back before they sit in the chair for the first time.
- Tattoo studios that lose consultation time to vague descriptions and want a shared visual reference with clients.
- Cover-up candidates testing whether a new design can plausibly mask an existing tattoo at a given size.
- Designers and flash artists who want to mock up their sheets on real bodies for marketing on Instagram.
