FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AI tattoo generator?

+

It turns a photo or a short description into tattoo designs. DrawTat gives you 4 designs per generation in the style you pick, and a printable stencil for each paid design.

How do I turn a photo into a tattoo design?

+

Upload a clear photo, choose what it shows (pet, handwriting, old tattoo or other) and a style, then press Generate. You get 4 designs in about a minute.

Can I try it before I pay?

+

You can look through the example designs on this site first. Packs start at $4.99 for 10 generations (40 designs), and a completely unused pack can be refunded within 7 days.

Do I need an account?

+

Yes. Sign in with Google to generate and download designs.

What file do I get?

+

A high-resolution PNG of the full design, plus a black-and-white stencil on a transparent background that you can print.

Can my tattoo artist use the stencil?

+

Yes. The stencil is pure black linework on a transparent background, so your artist can print it on thermal stencil paper or use it as a reference to draw their own version.

Can I upload photos of my kids?

+

Yes, if you're their parent or guardian or have permission. Tick the confirmation box before you generate. Nude or sexual content is never allowed.

Is there a watermark on paid designs?

+

No. Every paid design downloads in HD without a watermark.

What is your refund policy?

+

If a pack is completely unused, you can get a full refund within 7 days. Used generations are not refunded, and AI results vary, so we do not refund or redo a design because you do not like it. If our system fails to make a design, we redo it automatically, and if that fails too the credit goes back to your account.
