PREPARING THE INTERACTIVE STUDY
ONE PIECECHANGESALL OF THEM.
Stensyls puts real artwork on a body close to yours, so you can judge a new piece against everything already there. Then take the plan to your artist.
The tattoo is only half the decision.
The placement is the taste.
YOUR CAMERA ROLL
IS NOT A PLAN.
Turn saved references into a placement study.
You can test scale, spacing and composition before your consult.
FIVE MOVES.
NO GUESSING.
Stensyls is not here to invent your tattoo. It is here to show you what happens when you place it.
- 01
CHOOSE A BODY
Start with a manikin that feels like you. Tweak it to suit.
- 02
BUILD A STACK
Bring the flash and screenshots you are actually considering, plus photographs of the ink you already have.
- 03
PLACE AND COMPOSE
Every move changes the arrangement, not just the piece.
- 04
STUDY
One piece up close, or the whole composition from any angle.
- 05
EXPORT
The whole plan on one sheet. For an artist when you are ready, or for you while you decide.
PLAN THE PATCHWORK.
NOT JUST THE PIECE.
One tattoo changes the next. Placement is cumulative. See how each piece affects what can sit beside it, above it and after it.
START FROM WHAT'S ALREADY THERE.
Your next piece has to live beside the last one. Bring in the work you already carry, then build around it.
NO INVENTED FIVE-STAR REVIEWS.
No testimonial carousel. No anonymous quotes. If Stensyls is useful, you will see it in the work, and in reviews people choose to leave somewhere we do not control.
Follow @stensyls↗TAKE THE WHOLE
PLACEMENT WITH YOU.
Export your Stensyls plan and send it ahead of your consult. Give your artist a clear starting point, then leave room for their eye and experience to shape the final placement.
Choose the angles that show the piece and any work already around it. Tasteful placement will only read well if it considers its neighbours.
Every piece is listed with where it sits and how big you placed it. Ink you already carry is marked as existing.
Send it to your artist with the rest of the reference you may have collected. It does not replace the stencil that goes on your skin. You and your artist decide on next steps.

WHAT THIS
ISN'T.
An exact preview of healed ink?
No. It is a planning view for placement, scale, spacing and flow. Real skin and tattooing behave differently.
A replacement for your artist?
No. Take a clearer idea into the conversation. Decide the final placement together, on your body, with the real stencil.
A public folder of your tattoo ideas?
No. The current prototype keeps plans and uploads in this browser on this device. It does not publish them.
Another AI tattoo generator?
No. Stensyls does not need to invent the piece. Its job is to help you place what you already care about.
