About
Tatship is a comprehensive tattoo planning platform trusted by over 400,000 users worldwide. It empowers tattoo enthusiasts and artists to make confident, informed decisions before committing to permanent ink. At its core is a 3D Virtual Try-On tool that lets users upload a personal photo, choose or generate a tattoo design, and visualize how it looks on their body in realistic detail—all while keeping photos offline for privacy. Beyond the try-on feature, Tatship includes an Online Tattoo Maker for sketching and visualizing original concepts, a Tattoo Font Generator for turning words into stylized tattoo lettering, and a Photo-to-Tattoo Converter that transforms personal images into tattoo stencils. Users can explore placements, test sizes, compare styles, and share references with their tattoo artist to reduce miscommunication. The platform caters to both individual customers and professional tattoo artists and studios, with B2B embeddable technology available for artist websites. Mobile apps for iOS and Android unlock unlimited try-ons with a free trial. Tatship is designed to be faster and more accessible than Photoshop-based workflows, delivering a realistic preview within 30 seconds. It is ideal for anyone wanting to eliminate regret by planning their tattoo journey thoughtfully.
