Getting a tattoo is an important step, to avoid regretting your choice too late here are the best apps to test the design on your skin
A diamond is forever, a tattoo almost. For the eternally undecided and to the delight of some tattoo artists, there are apps that take advantage of augmented reality to apply any design to the skin and simulate the effect of a tattoo, all before indelibly etching it into the skin.
So, before you make an appointment with a tattoo artist and maybe change your mind at the last minute or if you really want a tattoo on your body but have no idea what subject to choose, try one of the best apps created to test a tattoo before you get it.
TryTattoo
TryTattoo is one of the best apps for iOS users interested in testing a tattoo design on their skin. The user can use two different functions: the first allows you to apply the tattoos to a photo in the phone’s gallery, while the second uses the smartphone’s camera directly to instantly apply the chosen design.
You can test designs in the database or upload your own images. If you are not sure, you can also share the image with your friends on messaging apps or post the picture on social networks and ask for feedback from your friends.
Ink Hunter
Ink Hunter is one of the most innovative applications in the industry. It uses special algorithms that allow you to adapt the tattoo to the three-dimensionality of the body. In addition, there is a function to upload drawings made on paper.
To make the best you have to draw the area where you want to apply the tattoo with three lines on the skin that form a kind of “square smile”. To do this you just need a simple pen. In this way the app will recognize the perimeter of the tattoo. The impression of “wearing” the tattoo is extremely realistic: through the camera you can observe the design on yourself in real time and from different angles. Ink Hunter is an app that is also loved by some artists, so much so that inside you can find the designs of six different world-famous tattoo artists. A relevant aspect if you’re still undecided about which design to make.
TattoCam
TattoCam will turn your phone’s rear camera into a tattoo testing center. In addition to this, it offers several functions: some are useful to create special designs yourself, while others are used to share the final result on social networks and get feedback from your friends.
It is very easy to use: just upload the image, or choose from the thousands of designs available, and point the camera at the part of the body where you’re going to apply the tattoo.
Polaxis
This is a very special application. It takes advantage of augmented reality to bring the drawn tattoos to life. It was developed by Australian artist Sutu. It is an app created to give life to comics and then also used to check the rendering of a tattoo on the body. At the moment, it is only available for iOS users.
