Sleeves & large pieces
Coherent narrative compositions from shoulder to wrist. The AI that thinks in sleeves.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know first
If your question isn't here, (instant answer), or write to support@tatua.fr.
What is a stencil? +
A stencil is a pre-traced transfer the tattoo artist applies to your skin before starting to tattoo. It works as a guide to reproduce the design faithfully, without straying a single line. With Tatua, you walk away with your design in high definition, sharp and with no cluttered background: the ideal reference your tattoo artist uses to prepare their stencil. No more blurry screenshots shown on your phone.
What are blackwork, dotwork, fineline, etc.? +
The main styles you can pick in Tatua:
- Blackwork = solid black, filled areas, ultra high contrast
- Dotwork = built from thousands of dots (stippling)
- Fineline = ultra-thin lines (single needle), minimalist, feminine look
- Old school = bold colors and thick lines (traditional sailor style)
- Neo-traditional = old school enriched with detail and rich colors
- Japanese / Irezumi = waves, dragons, cherry blossoms
- Realistic = detailed photo effect, realistic shading
- Geometric = clean lines, sacred geometry
- Watercolor = paint-wash effect, splashes of color with no outline
- Tribal / Maori = Polynesian patterns, sweeping solid curves
You can test any style on the same subject to compare the renders.
What is a sleeve? +
A sleeve is a large tattoo that covers part or all of the arm. Half sleeve = shoulder to elbow. Full sleeve = shoulder to wrist. It's usually a coherent assembly of several designs tied together by a theme (Japanese, nature, biomechanical, religious, etc.). Tatua has a Sleeve Assistant that guides you through 5 steps to build yours without getting lost.
What is a cover-up? +
A cover-up is a new tattoo designed to cover an old tattoo you no longer want. The design has to be bigger, denser and darker than the old one to mask it completely. With Tatua, you can generate dense, dark ideas suited to a cover-up, then show them to a cover-up specialist who will confirm what's feasible.
What is the Artist Brief? +
It's the file you bring to your tattoo artist so you're understood on the first try: your design in HD, the style, the chosen placement and the preview on your own photo. With that, the session starts from a clear base instead of a screenshot grabbed off Pinterest.
Is it free? +
Yes, try it free: describe your idea, enter your email and you get a full design, no credit card needed, also delivered by email. After that, unlock your creations in HD from $0.99, or pick a plan you can cancel anytime. The try-on on your own photo and the stencil use credits.
How much does it cost? +
You can try it free first. Then unlock your creations in HD from $0.99, or choose a plan you can cancel anytime: $44.99/year (best value) or $9.99/week. 14-day money-back guarantee.
Are the designs really unique? +
Yes. Each generation produces 4 unique designs based on your precise description. The AI never reuses other users' designs. You can then try your favorite one on a photo of your own skin to see the final result.
Will my tattoo artist accept an AI design? +
A tattoo artist works from a reference: the sharper it is, the better. Your designs come in high definition, sharp and with no cluttered background, exactly what's needed to prepare the session. Many artists then redraw it in their own hand, and that's exactly how it should be.
How does the virtual try-on on my photo work? +
You upload a photo of your arm (or back, leg, etc.), pick your design, and the AI applies the tattoo photorealistically, following your skin's curve and relief. No more regrets. Your photo is used only for your try-on, never appears in any gallery and is never resold.
How do credits work? +
You buy credits that never expire and each tool uses them based on its real cost. Rough guide: 500 credits ($8.99) ≈ 12 generations of 4 designs. A generation = 40 credits, a try-on on your skin = 20 credits. You top up only when you want to keep exploring.
What rights do I have over my designs? +
You hold all commercial and personal rights to the designs you generate. You can tattoo them, print them, resell them, share them. You can also use them in your tattoo portfolio without crediting us.
What if I don't like any of the designs? +
Your full creation (4 designs) starts after payment. If the results miss the mark, rephrase your idea and run it again with your remaining credits: it's often down to the description. And the 14-day money-back guarantee has you covered.
How do I request a refund? +
Within 14 days of your payment, email support@tatua.fr from your account email address (or mention it). No justification required. The refund is issued within 7 business days to your original payment method.
How is this different from a design grabbed off Pinterest? +
Pinterest = a design already seen and tattooed on 1,000 people. Tatua = a unique design made to measure from your precise description, your favorite style, your placement. Plus a visualization on skin before you decide. Plus a clean HD file for your artist. In short: zero chance of ending up with the same tattoo as 100 other people.
Is my data protected? +
Yes. GDPR compliant, European Netlify hosting, no data resale ever. Your designs and photos are 100% yours. Your photo is used only for your try-on. It stays attached to your account, never appears in any gallery, is never shown to another user nor resold. To have it deleted, write to support@tatua.fr from your account email.
I'm a tattoo artist, are there dedicated features? +
Yes, the Pro Salon plan includes: iPad fullscreen "Client Presentation" mode, branding with your studio logo, PNG 4K HD + SVG export, a Pro Brief PDF for every client, and 8000 credits/month. Pricing is presented during a video demo, with no commitment. See all the Pro Salon details →
