Print the stencil at the size you need
Print to size, under your finished stencil, opens a print studio where you set the size on the skin, pick the paper size, and see how the stencil splits across sheets.
How to print a tattoo stencil at actual size- Width or height in inches or centimeters, or Measure on design: tap two points on the design and enter the real length between them on the skin.

FAQ
Questions artists ask
What is free, and what needs an account?
The palette breakdown, ink breakdown, ink map, and tone maps are free with no account and no email. No card, no trial. Stencils need sign-in with a 6-digit code we email you, no password. Once signed in, you get 2 free 1K stencils a day; the count resets at midnight UTC.
What are credits, and what do 2K and 4K give me?
2K and 4K are higher-resolution stencils. 2K costs 1 credit and 4K costs 2 credits. Credits come from promo codes only: we post them on Instagram @tattoopack.app. Enter a code on your package page or in My packages and tap Redeem. If a 2K or 4K stencil fails, the credits you spent come back.
Can I make a stencil from a photo or an image?
Yes, as long as it is a PNG, JPEG, or WebP up to 25 MB. iPhone photos in HEIC are not accepted: share the photo with Options set to Most Compatible, then upload that copy. The whole image goes into the stencil frame, so crop it to the design first. Upload only images you have the right to use.
Is this a stencil maker or a tattoo design generator?
A stencil maker. Google Gemini draws the stencil from the design you upload; Tattoo Pack does not generate designs from text and is not a library of ready-made stencils. Generated lines can shift, so compare the stencil with your original before you transfer it to skin.
How do I print the stencil at actual size?
Open Print to size under your finished stencil. Set the width or height (or measure one part of the design), choose Letter, Legal, or A4, and print at 100% (Actual size), not Fit to page. Step by step: print a tattoo stencil at actual size.
Which ink brands are supported?
Eternal, Intenze, Solid Ink, and World Famous: 1,113 colors in total. Besides the standard colors, the list for Eternal includes 223 colors from 20 of its series and sets. More on tattoo ink color matching.
Do you keep my design?
Not the original. Your design is processed in memory to build the files you asked for, and the original upload is not stored on the server. For the stencil, we send your design to Google Gemini to draw it. Your files are available to download for 24 hours, then deleted automatically. Details are in the privacy policy.
Can I upload licensed characters or logos?
No. The terms do not allow uploads with licensed characters or third-party logos. The stencil generator also cannot process licensed characters or brands (Disney, Marvel, anime franchises, logos) or nude and erotic images: such uploads are rejected or come out distorted. Details are in the terms.
