Your design. No needle.

You decide. Canvases range from XS (3 × 4 cm) to Extra Huge (Sleeve, 20 × 60 cm). The cm figures in the studio show the actual size of your tattoo.

You choose a quantity from 3 pieces and receive your design exactly that many times. The more you order, the less each tattoo costs.

Every custom tattoo is made just for you – single pieces would be disproportionately expensive. With several copies you have refills, can test placements or let friends join in.

PNG, JPG, WebP, SVG or HEIC up to 10 MB. A sharp file with clear lines works best.

Usually it’s the file type or size. PNG, JPG, WebP, SVG and HEIC up to 10 MB work. If your browser can’t open an iPhone photo (HEIC), save it as JPG or open the page in Safari.

Yes, as long as it’s sharp, high-contrast and has clear lines. Photos of drawings on paper or of real tattoos on skin work too – our designers check every photo individually and prepare it by hand.

Yes. A white background is ideal, and we remove light backgrounds automatically. Any other background is cut out by hand by our designers.

No. Upload it exactly as it should look on your skin.

All tattoos are made with one dark tattoo ink. Colours turn into this ink and the background becomes transparent.

• Good: clear, sharp lines (at least 0.5 mm), ideally black and white on a light background.
• Less good: very blurry or tiny images, gradients, shadows and photorealistic portraits with many shades of grey.
• Only upload images you’re allowed to use – your own designs, your own photos or motifs from our studio.

As many as you like. Combine uploads, motifs, texts and drawings freely on your canvas.

Tap “Text” in the studio, type your text and pick a font. Every element – text, image or motif – can be moved, rotated and scaled right on the canvas. Tap it to edit.

It’s your assistant for looks from our catalogue: tap motifs and combine them on hand, fingers or arm. We bring everything to the right size and onto your print sheet automatically.

Describe your idea in one sentence, e.g. “fine flowers with geometric elements”. The AI drafts your motif right in the studio – 10 generations per day are free.

• Custom Studio: design your tattoo yourself, fast – upload, pick from 1,300+ motifs, add text, draw. For a quick idea there’s the built-in AI draft (10 per day free).
• AI Tattoo Generator: much stronger AI models for more detailed concepts and more intense images – a whole suite with dozens of settings to create the perfect tattoo (styles, cover-up, extract, remix and more). Runs on credits.

You can order your design straight from both as a Tattup tattoo.

Any time. When you switch sizes, your tattoo keeps its centimetres. If it no longer fits the canvas, we shrink it automatically.

Yes. Every design is its own item in the cart – add it and simply design the next one.

Tap “Edit” next to the design in your cart. It opens in the studio – change what you like and tap “Update cart”.

Good to know: this works on the device you created the design on.

Custom tattoos are produced just for you, in batches to keep prices fair. Allow about 4 weeks.

Our designers check every order. If anything doesn’t fit, we’ll email you before anything is produced.
