ReferenceStencilDrag to compare
Every stencil is costing you an hour nobody pays for
An hour before you even start
You export the photo, adjust the levels, move it from one app to another and end up retracing lines by hand. By the time the stencil is finally ready, you have already lost nearly an hour before you start tattooing.
A stencil that does not line up
If the stencil shifts on paper, you cannot undo it once it is on skin. Get the proportions wrong and the portrait will not read as the person.
Guessing the shadows
Linework alone is not enough. If your value zones are not marked, you end up deciding the greys on the fly with your client already on the table.
Three steps. No guesswork.
Upload your reference
A photo or a design, from your phone, tablet or computer. Nothing to install.
Pick the version
Clean linework for simple designs, or realism with the shadow zones mapped out. Each style has its own engine.
Download and transfer
A crisp stencil ready to print on transfer paper, with mirror, line color and background your way.
Read the values before you touch skin
The value map breaks your reference into clear tonal groups, so you can plan the inks and greywash for each area before the session starts. Choose the palette that reads best to you and test it here: this is the real generator, not a video.
Value maps are unlimited: they never spend credits.
Everything included
Retouch over the reference
Erase any lines you do not need or draw over the ones you want to emphasize, using Apple Pencil on your iPad or directly with your mouse.
Gradient map with palettes
Break the reference into value groups with four palettes, so it is easier to plan the inks and greywash for each area.
Mirror, color and comparison
Flip the design for transfer, change the line color and compare it with the reference to make sure everything lines up.
Your gallery
Every stencil is saved with its reference and its map. Come back anytime to edit it or download it again.
One engine per style
Each type of tattoo has its own generation engine. Choose the right one for the design you are about to trace.
Print-ready
Download the stencil with crisp lines, ready to print on transfer paper or keep working on your tablet.
ReferenceStencil
Generated with the realism engine. Untouched.
One engine for each style, not one for everything
You do not build a lettering stencil the same way you build a portrait. Each engine is tuned for its job: clean, confident linework for simple designs, and structure with mapped shadow zones for realism. Any new engines are included in your existing access.
Linework
Minimal, flowers, anime, lettering and symbols.
Realism
Portraits and photography, with the shadow zones mapped out.
On the way
Animals, sculptures and more styles, each with its own engine.
Watch the tool at work

What tattoo artists usually ask
That is rule number one of the tool: it cannot move a line or reshape a feature. Same face, same proportions, same framing. And if you want to fine-tune something, the brush and eraser are right there inside.
