Free tattoo tools
Nine tools for the parts of a tattoo that are made of letters, marks and decisions rather than pictures: lettering compared side by side, codes laid out at fixed spacing, and the arithmetic of a booking — chair time and the tip on top. All of them run in the browser and never send what you type anywhere — the privacy page spells out what that means.
Which one you need
The nine tools solve different problems and export different things, which is the fastest way to tell them apart. The table below is also the honest answer to “can I use this for X” — the last column is where each one stops.
| Tool | You type | You get | Export | Where it stops |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tattoo font generator | A word or a name | The same word in 24 lettering styles | Transparent PNG | Cannot bend lettering around a limb — that is a drawing job |
| Ambigram tattoo generator | Two words | Both readings in one typeface, stacked or overlaid, plus a verdict on every letter pair | PNG of the overlay | Does not invent shared letterforms — an artist draws those |
| Morse code tattoo generator | A name, date or short phrase | Dots and dashes at ITU ratios on one line, or a word per line | Vector SVG | Long phrases outgrow any placement worth using |
| Binary code tattoo generator | A name, date or short word | Filled and hollow marks at 7-bit ASCII or 8-bit UTF-8, on a line or a row per character | Vector SVG | Binary has no spacing standard, so the proportions are ours, not a specification’s |
| Tattoo cost calculator | Size, style, placement, and your artist’s rate | A range of chair time, and what that time costs at your rate | Copy as text | Holds no price data — quotes a rate only after you type one in |
| Tattoo tip calculator | The price of the tattoo, or a tip you have in mind | The tip at common percentages, or what your tip is as a percent | None — read it off the screen | Shows the norm studios state; we found no survey of what clients actually tip |
| Tattoo removal cost calculator | Skin type, placement, color, amount of ink, scarring and layering | A Kirby-Desai score, the sessions it predicts, and the total at the price you enter | None — read it off the screen | Built on one clinic of 100 patients; past 15 points the paper hands the decision to a physician |
| Tattoo size chart | Inches or centimeters, plus your own design size | A printable sheet of nested squares with an inch ruler and a centimeter ruler | SVG sized in millimeters for printing at 100 percent | Paper is flat: a design that wraps a limb cannot be measured against it |
| Random tattoo generator | Nothing — you press a button | A brief: subject, style, line weight, placement and size | Copy as text | Gives no image, and knows nothing about meaning |
Reading
Nine guides sit alongside the tools. Two of them sort the AI generators by what each is actually for, with free tiers and payment models checked in August 2026, and cover getting usable output from a general assistant. The other seven take the measurements behind the tools — stroke widths, placement retention, unit ratios, and the one study that tested tattoo pain by body area — and turn them into decisions.
