AI Tattoo Cover Up Generator
See realistic cover-up directions before you book the artist.
Use this AI tattoo cover up generator to upload your existing tattoo, define what cannot disappear, and create a checked planning preview for an honest artist conversation.
Start with your photoNo drawing required to begin
Interactive planner
Start with the ink that cannot disappear.
Upload first. Sign-in is required only when you are ready to run the generation.
01
Start with one photo
Upload a clear tattoo photo. We will estimate the old ink and a practical design area automatically; you can adjust the estimate only if needed.
Upload a photo to generate an automatic mask estimate
We prepared a red old-ink estimate and a blue design area from your photo. No drawing is required to continue.
Adjust masks (optional)
The estimate is a starting point, not a tattoo stencil. Open Adjust masks only when the estimate needs correction.
02
Define the new composition
Descriptions are optional. If you leave them empty, AI will choose a subject from the old-ink geometry and your composition method.
03
Generate and run a physical check
The model proposes the composition. Code restores permanent ink, measures coverage, and prevents the preview from lightening the original tattoo.
This generation costs 4 credits
Upload a tattoo photo before generating.
Tested cover-up directions
Start with the old ink, then design around it.
These are AI planning concepts made from licensed stock photos, not healed tattoos or client outcomes. The overlap score is an automated dark-ink check, not a feasibility guarantee.

Stock photos are used under the Pexels license. Generated concepts still require a cover-up artist to assess pigment, scarring, skin, placement, and the final tattoo size.
How this AI tattoo cover up generator works
Constraints first. Inspiration second.
Photo input01
Upload a clear photo
Include the whole tattoo and enough surrounding skin to consider a larger composition.
Ink + area check02
Check the constraints
Review the old-ink estimate and the design area. Correct them only when the automatic estimate is wrong.
Your trade-offs03
Set acceptable trade-offs
Tell the generator whether the new tattoo may be larger, darker, colored, or built around part of the original meaning.
Artist-ready brief04
Review with an artist
Use the additive preview, restored-ink comparison, and risk map to start a grounded consultation.

FAQ
Before you trust a preview
Can AI tell me whether my tattoo can definitely be covered?+
No. The generator helps you explore composition directions and identify possible coverage conflicts. An experienced tattoo artist must assess pigment, age, scarring, skin, placement, and the real size required.
Why are cover-up designs usually larger and darker?+
Existing ink does not disappear. A workable direction usually needs enough scale and intentional dark structure to absorb the old shapes instead of placing light details over them.
What do the red and blue overlays mean?+
Red estimates the old ink that must remain visible in the physical plan. Blue marks the larger area a new composition may use. Both are planning aids and can be corrected before generation.
Are generated results ready to tattoo?+
No. Results are consultation material, not stencils or tattoo-ready drawings. Bring the direction and risk map to a cover-up artist so they can redraw it for your body and skin.
How is my photo used?+
After you confirm permission, a normalized photo may be sent to the segmentation provider. The design model receives derived flat ink and mask images. Generated files remain available in your current browser session for download.
How much does one generation cost?+
One generation uses 4 credits. New accounts receive 12 credits for 3 free generations. Additional credits are sold as one-time packs; there is no subscription.
