See it on your skin before you commit.
Snap a photo of your skin, drop in any design, and place it exactly where you want it. InkPreview wraps the ink to your skin's curve with real lighting and shadow, then renders a photoreal preview in about ten seconds. Drag the before and after slider to compare, save it, and bring the screenshot to your artist.
Coming soon. InkPreview is in active development. Email hello@crate-app.com for early access.
What InkPreview does
See it as real ink, not a sticker.
Pick a spot and tap render. InkPreview wraps the design to your skin's curve and matches the lighting in your photo, so you get a photoreal preview in about ten seconds instead of a flat overlay.
Place it down to the millimetre.
Drag the design anywhere, pinch to resize, rotate with two fingers. The flat preview updates live, and the app frames the render for your chosen body zone, because a forearm wraps differently than a flat back.
A 32-style library, plus AI generation.
Fine-line, traditional, blackwork, Japanese irezumi, dotwork, realism, and 26 more, each with a photoreal on-skin reference. Or describe your own idea and InkPreview Pro generates the artwork, ready to place.
Plan a sleeve, then share the reveal.
Save renders to your collection and compare placements side by side before you book a session. One tap exports a clean before and after card sized for Stories and TikTok, watermark-free on Pro.

What we don't do
- We do not apply real tattoos and we are not a substitute for a licensed artist. The render is an approximation for planning; your skin, your artist, and healing will look different.
- We do not keep your photos. They are sent for a single render and then discarded, never stored on our servers and never used to train models.
- InkPreview is for adults. You confirm you are 18 or older, and you use only photos of your own body.
