DermInk AI Tattoo Generator for Custom Concepts
Explore tattoo ideas before your artist consultation.

DermInk is a web based AI tattoo concept studio for people who want to explore an idea before meeting an artist. Start with a written description, a photo, or a rough sketch. It generates images you can compare and revise. Treat the result as a visual brief: a tattoo artist still needs to check placement, line weight, contrast, and whether the design will age well on skin.
Build a concept you can discuss
Sign in, then describe the main subject, preferred style, intended body area, approximate size, and details that must stay or disappear. If you already have a sketch or a reference photo, upload it and explain what to preserve and what to change. DermInk accepts JPEG, PNG, or WebP references up to 10 MB. Choose a model, aspect ratio, resolution, and one to four outputs before generating. Each output uses credits, so start with one or two clear directions if you are still testing the prompt. Compare the results for shape, spacing, spelling, and important symbols; use the strongest image as a reference for a focused revision. Download the concept and take it to a professional for the final design.
The site also offers stencil style linework, but that image is a concept, not a transfer ready stencil. Its example placement images do not amount to a calibrated on body try on. This matters if you need to know how a drawing wraps around a particular arm or shoulder.
Credits, rights, and reference images
New accounts are offered 30 free credits without a card, which the official site describes as enough for three standard 1K concepts. Continued use is sold through one time credit packs or monthly and yearly plans. Check the current credit and plan terms before paying, especially if you need 2K or 4K output or several results per task. Paid options advertise commercial use, subject to the service terms, provider conditions, applicable law, and your rights to the input material.
Prompts, references, and results are private by default in an account workspace, but third party AI providers process the request. The privacy policy says free account images are generally retained for 30 days and describes how a purchase changes retention. Avoid uploading material you are not entitled to use or sensitive images you do not need for the design.
Common questions
Can I try DermInk for free?
Yes. New accounts currently receive 30 welcome credits. This is a limited trial allocation, not unlimited free generation; each delivered output costs credits.
Can I turn my own photo into a tattoo design?
Yes. Upload a supported JPEG, PNG, or WebP reference and describe the subject and style to keep. Inspect the result because reference editing makes a new interpretation rather than an exact trace.
How do I make a tattoo concept?
Sign in, describe an idea or add a permitted reference, then select model, ratio, resolution and output count. Compare the images and refine one result before sharing it with an artist.
