Manual placement preview

This try-on processes photos in your browser. It does not upload or store them on our servers.

Or choose a studio design

One finger to move. Two fingers to resize and rotate.

Fine-tune placement

Drag to position. Pinch to resize and rotate on touch screens, or use the sliders. Arrow keys move the artwork; Shift moves it faster.

Discuss this piece with us

A visual guide, not a true-size or healed-result simulation. Artwork does not automatically track your body. Your artist will confirm placement, size and design availability.

How do I choose an artist?

Explore the portfolios and look for work that matches the feel of your idea. Each artist page has a consultation link so you can speak directly about your design.

Can I try an idea before booking?

Yes. Use the try-on studio with your camera or a photo, then upload a stencil and move it into position. It is a placement preview; your artist will confirm the final size and design.

What should I bring to a consultation?

Bring reference images, your preferred placement, an approximate size and your budget. Consultations are free. You can save a preview from our try-on studio to help explain your idea.

How does pricing work?

What you are quoted is what you pay for the agreed work. If you request changes, discuss the revised scope and quote with your artist before proceeding.

Where can I find aftercare information?

Read our aftercare instructions and follow the guidance provided by your artist. Contact the studio if you have questions.
