This photo is displayed locally only. It is not sent to the AI generator or analyzed for coverage. Describe the existing ink in the notes; an artist must assess actual cover-up feasibility.

The reference photo stays in this browser tab; it is not uploaded to the generator.

Your concept brief

This text updates with your choices. Only the text, style and placement are carried to the generator; photos and sketches are not included.

Cover-up concept; artist assessment required. Placement: auto. Old ink: not described; density (self-described): unsure. Preferences: size to discuss, shading to discuss. New idea: explore options.

The brief uses English instructions for the model and keeps your own notes. Editing it is free; generating an AI image in the next step uses credits.

Before booking: review this with an artist

Bring a clear, unfiltered photo of the whole old tattoo and surrounding skin; save your original photo separately.
Discuss the actual pigment, final footprint and boundaries, including any details you want to preserve.
Ask the artist to redraw the selected concept and check placement and scale before tattooing.

This tool prepares text-based concepts, not an on-photo cover-up, coverage diagnosis or healed-result guarantee. You do not need to upload a photo to prepare a brief.

From an old tattoo to an artist conversation

Describe the starting point

Record the subject, colors, approximate size and any details you want to keep. A photo is optional and stays local; density is your description, not AI analysis.

Explore a new direction

Choose a cover-up or rework intention, size and shading preferences, and a new subject. Carry the text brief into the generator to explore concepts using credits.

Get a professional assessment

Bring the concept, copied brief and original photo to a cover-up artist. They must assess the existing ink and redraw the design for the actual body area.

Before you start

Will the uploaded photo be edited by AI?

No. This page displays the photo locally as a reference. Only your text, style and placement go to the generator. It does not analyze the photo or generate an on-photo cover-up.

Does a generated concept prove the old tattoo can be covered?

No. A pleasing design is not proof of coverage. An experienced artist must assess the real pigment, available area, skin and final execution. This tool does not provide medical or laser advice.

What happens if I want a small or fine-line design?

You can explore that preference, but the tool does not certify any style as suitable for your old ink. Discuss size, shading and retained details with your artist before committing.

Underlying image model / access provider: Checking active configuration…

AI generation, cover-up concepts, filler concepts and AI font concepts use the active image model shown here. Local photo placement and non-AI editing do not use that model. Outputs are design references; have a professional artist check them.
