1. Design: upload an image, pick one of 1,300+ ready-made motifs, create one with AI or use the Tattoo Builder – and add texts.
2. Choose your size: you always see the real centimetres, even on skin.
3. Choose the quantity (from 3 pieces) and add to cart.

Our designers check every design by hand and get in touch if anything doesn’t fit.

As many as you like. Combine uploads, motifs, texts and drawings freely on your canvas.

Tap “Text” in the studio, type your text and pick a font. Every element – text, image or motif – can be moved, rotated and scaled right on the canvas. Tap it to edit.

It’s your assistant for looks from our catalogue: tap motifs and combine them on hand, fingers or arm. We bring everything to the right size and onto your print sheet automatically.

Describe your idea in one sentence, e.g. “fine flowers with geometric elements”. The AI drafts your motif right in the studio – 10 generations per day are free.

• Custom Studio: design your tattoo yourself, fast – upload, pick from 1,300+ motifs, add text, draw. For a quick idea there’s the built-in AI draft (10 per day free).
• AI Tattoo Generator: much stronger AI models for more detailed concepts and more intense images – a whole suite with dozens of settings to create the perfect tattoo (styles, cover-up, extract, remix and more). Runs on credits.

You can order your design straight from both as a Tattup tattoo.

Yes. Under “On skin” you see your design in true size on lots of body areas – from a finger to your whole back. Or upload a photo of yourself – it stays on your device.

PNG, JPG, WebP, SVG or HEIC up to 10 MB. A sharp file with clear lines works best.

Usually it’s the file type or size. PNG, JPG, WebP, SVG and HEIC up to 10 MB work. If your browser can’t open an iPhone photo (HEIC), save it as JPG or open the page in Safari.

Yes, as long as it’s sharp, high-contrast and has clear lines. Photos of drawings on paper or of real tattoos on skin work too – our designers check every photo individually and prepare it by hand.

Yes. A white background is ideal, and we remove light backgrounds automatically. Any other background is cut out by hand by our designers.

No. Upload it exactly as it should look on your skin.

All tattoos are made with one dark tattoo ink. Colours turn into this ink and the background becomes transparent.

• Good: clear, sharp lines (at least 0.5 mm), ideally black and white on a light background.
• Less good: very blurry or tiny images, gradients, shadows and photorealistic portraits with many shades of grey.
• Only upload images you’re allowed to use – your own designs, your own photos or motifs from our studio.

You decide. Canvases range from XS (3 × 4 cm) to Extra Huge (20 × 60 cm). The cm figures in the studio show the actual size of your tattoo.

Any time. When you switch sizes, your tattoo keeps its centimetres. If it no longer fits the canvas, we shrink it automatically.

You choose a quantity from 3 pieces and receive your design exactly that many times. The more you order, the less each tattoo costs.

Every custom tattoo is made just for you – single pieces would be disproportionately expensive. With several copies you have refills, can test placements or let friends join in.

Up to 2 weeks. By then the top layer of your skin has renewed itself and the tattoo is gone.

How to make it last longer:

• First 8 hours: no water, no rubbing.
• First day: avoid contact as much as you can, wear loose clothes.
• First 2 nights: wear something loose to sleep in – especially with a sleeve.
• Choose spots with little friction.
• Moisturise from 48 hours on, with oil-free products only.
• Don’t scrub or exfoliate.

Our guide shows how long it lasts on each part of the body.

At first barely visible or light blue. Then the ink reacts with your skin’s amino acids: after 24–48 hours it’s dark blue to almost black, a little different depending on your skin.

Yes. From the next day on you can shower, swim, do sports and go to the sauna. 💦

Just for the first 8 hours: no water, no rubbing.

Good to know: lots of water and rubbing make it fade a little faster.

Yes. The ink reacts with your skin’s amino acids – and every skin tone has them. That’s why the tattoo turns dark blue to black on every skin, and on darker skin it often looks even bolder.

Yes. Our formula was tested by a laboratory and rated safe in a safety report under the EU Cosmetics Regulation – as required for every cosmetic product in the EU.

Good to know: this works on the device you created the design on.

Custom tattoos are produced just for you, in batches to keep prices fair. Allow about 4 weeks.

Our designers check every order. If anything doesn’t fit, we’ll email you before anything is produced.

That’s rare – for example when a file is damaged or a design can’t be printed. If it happens, we’ll let you know by email.

No. Custom tattoos are made just for you, so they can’t be returned or exchanged. If something arrives damaged or wrong, email us at help@tattup.shop – we’ll sort it out.
