Curated by a working tattoo artist
Style-verified directories of the world's working tattoo artists. Every entry is checked by a tattooer's eye, not an algorithm. Real, working, and confirmed in their style, one artist at a time.
Free, from a working tattoo artist. We read the hidden credentials AI generators leave in their files, then score how likely the design is AI-generated, with the reasons in plain words. One limit worth knowing: screenshots strip those credentials, so a clean result is a read, not proof. Your image is checked and thrown away, never stored.
