How it works

Four moves. Then you tattoo.

  1. 01

    Upload any photo

    Phone snap or shop reference. Tight crop, decent light.

  2. 02

    Choose your style

    Outline, Standard, or Hatching — pick the line you want on skin.

  3. 03

    AI cleans and converts

    The engine traces a transfer-ready line. Bold, clean, no mush.

  4. 04

    Download or print true-to-size

    Take it to the printer or flip it into Tattoo Mode on the stall tablet.

Cutlass stencil in Retouch Studio

Layers

Retouch studio

Retouch without wrecking the line

Pencil, eraser, lighten, darken. Size and hardness on the rail. Layers stay split so the line you trust still sits.

This is one feature. The full app is coming.

Tattoo Mode

One-handed swipe between layers

Fullscreen on the stall tablet. Screen stays awake. Twist the opacity dial — photo, stencil, overlay — while the other hand holds the machine.

AI conversion

Photo in. Stencil out.

Outline, Standard, or Hatching. The line comes back transfer-ready — no gray wash, no leftover noise.

    “Used to burn an hour cleaning a reference. This dumps a transfer-ready line in the time it takes to glove up.”

  • ★★★★★

    “Tattoo Mode on the stall iPad. One swipe, client sees the stencil on skin. Then I start.”

FAQ

Straight answers

Does this replace drawing the stencil by hand?
No. It gets you a clean transfer faster. You still decide the placement, the stretch, and when the line is good enough to sit.
What styles do I get?
Outline, Standard, and Hatching. Starter is outline only. Pro and Studio unlock all three.
Does Tattoo Mode keep the screen awake?
Yes. It holds the screen wake lock so the stall tablet does not sleep mid-session. Swipe to flip photo, stencil, overlay.
Can I print true-to-size?
Pro and Studio include true-to-size print. Measure once, print once, sit it.
Tokens or coins?
Neither. Pay per conversion or subscribe.
What photos work best?
Tight crop, decent contrast, sharp. If the photo is muddy, the line will be muddy.
Is the stencil viewer free?
Yes. Drag the divider on this page. No account. Convert your own photo when you are ready.
