Yes. You get five free previews in every rolling 24-hour window. Previews that fail don't count toward your limit.

Are my photos private?

Your photos and previews are tied to your account and are never shown to other users or used for ads. You can delete any preview, or your whole account and all its data, at any time. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Which devices are supported?

Inkly is available for iPhone and Android. Sign in with Apple or Google to get started.

Will the real tattoo look exactly like the preview?

Inkly gives you a realistic idea of size, placement and style, but every artist and every skin is different. Use your preview as a starting point and bring it to your artist.
