AI sleeve tattoo preview

Map your sleeve before the first session

A sleeve is the biggest commitment in tattooing — dozens of hours and thousands of dollars, built piece by piece. Generate full or half sleeve concepts in any style, then wrap them around a photo of your own arm to check flow, density and where each element lands before session one.

  • Original designs — no recycled flash sheets
  • Preview any design on your own skin first
  • Any style you can describe — Irezumi to fine line
  • Edit, upscale for your artist and animate afterwards

Frequently asked questions

Can the AI design an entire sleeve?

Yes — describe the theme, style and arm coverage (full, half or quarter) and it generates a cohesive sleeve concept with connected elements and background flow, rather than a collage of unrelated pieces.

What does a sleeve preview cost?

A Draft sleeve concept costs 2 credits to generate — covered by the 2 free credits on a new account — and previewing it wrapped on your arm photo costs 6 credits at Standard quality. Iterating seriously on a sleeve is most comfortable on the $15/month starter plan.

Will my artist actually use this?

As a reference, absolutely. A sleeve preview gives your artist what a mood board can’t: your actual arm with the concept in place, showing scale, wrap points and the flow you want. They’ll rework it into their own stencil from there.
