What kind of photo works best?

Choose one clear subject against a simple background. Fur, leaves and landscape silhouettes may need simplification to stay readable at tattoo size. A stencil is a guide for an artist, not an exact reproduction.

Why are human faces refused?

This service does not generate real-person portraits or celebrity likenesses. The live pipeline refuses detected faces, uncertain safety results and unsafe images before generation. Your photo rights and the result’s suitability remain your responsibility.

Questions, answered.

Can I turn my dog photo into a tattoo idea?

Yes, pets are supported subjects. Use a clear photograph you own and describe which features matter most.

Can I request a portrait of my pet?

Yes. Pet portrait wording is allowed; real-person and celebrity likenesses remain prohibited.

Why can I not upload a human face?

This tool is limited to pets, objects and landscapes. Human faces and uncertain image-review results are refused in the live workflow.

Will every detail from the photo appear?

No. Tattoo concepts simplify fur, texture and scenery. Ask your artist to review readability at the intended size.

Does converting my photo upload it now?

An accepted reference is sent to the named review and generation providers. Browser stencil work stays local.
