Custom Tattoos

Everything about your own tattoo designs.

All answers

How does the Custom Studio work?
  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.

How many motifs and texts fit on one design?

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

How do I edit texts, images and motifs?

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.

What does the Tattoo Builder do?

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.

How does the AI draft in the studio work?

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 or AI Tattoo Generator – what’s the difference?
  • 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.

Which files can I upload?

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

Why isn’t my upload working?

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.

Can I upload a photo instead of artwork?

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.

My image has a background – does that work?

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

Do I need to mirror my design?

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

My design is in colour – what will the tattoo look like?

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

Which designs work best?
  • 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.

How big will my tattoo be?

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

  • XS — 3 × 4 cm
  • S — 5 × 9 cm
  • M — 7 × 13 cm
  • L — 10 × 18 cm
  • XL — 13 × 22 cm
  • Huge (Half Sleeve) — 20 × 30 cm (also for back pieces)
  • Extra Huge (Sleeve) — 20 × 60 cm
Can I change the size later?

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

How many tattoos do I get?

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

Why can’t I order just one custom tattoo?

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.

Can I order several designs?

Yes. Every design is its own item in the cart – add it and simply design the next one.

I have a design in my cart and want to change something.

Tap “Edit” next to the design in your cart. It opens in the studio – change what you like and tap “Update cart”.

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

How long does delivery take?

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

What if my design can’t be printed?

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

Why was my custom tattoo cancelled?

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.

Can I return a custom tattoo?

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.
