Tattoo Planning FAQ

Everything you need to know about designing and visualizing your next tattoo with BeforeOuch.

BeforeOuch is an AI tattoo planning platform with two core tools: AI Tattoo Generator for turning prompts and references into tattoo concepts, and Tattoo Try-On for previewing placement on a body photo. It helps you explore style, size, and placement before a tattoo consultation.

BeforeOuch includes a free trial with rate-limited access to both tattoo tools. One-time passes and subscriptions add generations, higher-resolution output, no watermarks, longer storage, and support for heavier planning workflows.

Start with AI Tattoo Generator when your idea is still rough and you need visual concept references. Once you have a direction or an existing design, use Tattoo Try-On to compare its size, angle, and placement on a body photo.

No. BeforeOuch creates planning references for comparing concepts and placement. A professional tattoo artist should redraw or adapt the final design for your anatomy, skin, technique, healing, and long-term readability.
