For tattoo artists
A stencil maker that keeps up with your bookings
Clients bring you a mood, not a design. inkr turns that conversation into a printable stencil while they're still in the chair: a tattoo stencil maker built for working artists, not a toy generator.
Stencil-ready output
High-contrast linework designed for thermal transfer paper, with no cleanup pass in Procreate.
High-resolution export
Print-quality files at the size you tattoo, from wrist pieces to back panels.
Edit with AI
Tweak a design with a text instruction: thicker lines, no background, add a banner.
Client previews
Try-on renders help clients say yes to placement and size before you cut a stencil.
Questions
Everything people ask before downloading
Is inkr a free AI tattoo generator?
Yes. inkr is free to download on iPhone and Android, and you can start generating tattoo designs right away. An optional Premium subscription unlocks unlimited generations, every style, and high-resolution stencil exports.
How does the AI tattoo generator work?
You describe your idea in plain words, like “a minimalist wave with a crescent moon”, and inkr's AI generates four unique tattoo designs in seconds. You can remix any result for unlimited variations until it feels right.
Can I see what a tattoo looks like on my body before getting it?
Yes. inkr's tattoo try-on lets you preview any generated design on skin before you commit, so you can check the size, placement, and style ahead of your appointment.
Can tattoo artists use inkr to make stencils?
That's what it's built for. Every design exports as a high-contrast, stencil-ready image you can print for thermal transfer paper. inkr works as a tattoo stencil maker for client work as well as an idea generator.
What tattoo styles can inkr generate?
Nine and counting: fine line, tribal, geometric, watercolor, American traditional, Japanese (irezumi), blackwork, minimalist, and neo-traditional. Each style is tuned so designs hold up as real tattoos, not just images.
Do I need any design skills to use inkr?
No. If you can describe your idea in a sentence, inkr can design it. The app was built for tattoo lovers planning their next piece and artists who want faster stencils, not for graphic designers.
