Compare Placement Before You Decide
A design can look right as artwork and still feel wrong on the body. Placement preview helps you notice whether the shape follows the body area, whether the size is readable, and whether the direction feels natural.
InkView is useful for comparing a few likely options, not for proving a permanent outcome. Use it to make your consultation more specific.

Photo Tips for Better Preview Decisions
The clearest previews usually come from simple photos: natural light, visible skin area, minimal motion blur, and a direct camera angle. Leave enough space around the area so you can test slightly larger or smaller placements.
If you are comparing multiple ideas, keep the same body photo and change only the tattoo concept. That makes it easier to judge scale and fit without confusing the comparison.

Planning Reference, Not a Final Result
InkView is built for early decision making. The preview can help you compare direction and proportion, but it cannot guarantee how ink will heal, age, or look after a real tattoo session.
Use the saved concept as a starting point for conversation. A professional tattoo artist can adapt line weight, placement, stencil preparation, and skin-specific details before any permanent work begins.
Practical checklist
Before you save the preview
- Test the same concept in two nearby positions.
- Check the preview from normal viewing distance.
- Try a smaller version before choosing a large placement.
- Save the final reference with notes for your artist.

FAQ
Common Questions
Does InkView create a final tattoo stencil?
No. InkView creates a concept preview for planning and discussion. A professional tattoo artist should prepare the final stencil and application plan.
Can I use my own body photo?
Yes. The try-on flow is designed around placing a tattoo idea on a body photo so you can compare size, position, rotation, and blend.
Can I share a preview with a tattoo artist?
Yes. Saved previews can be used as a visual reference when discussing direction, scale, and placement with a professional tattoo artist.
What kind of photo works best?
Use a clear, well-lit photo of the body area with the camera held straight on. Avoid heavy shadows, extreme angles, and cropped skin areas.
