Start from your own photo or sketch
The photo is only used to draw this design. It is not shown on the result page or in the gallery.
What works best
One clear subject, close up and evenly lit, gives the cleanest lines. Crop away busy backgrounds and heavy filters before you upload; the square crop in the tool helps you frame the subject.
For sketches, dark closed lines on white paper work better than faint pencil.
Keep the likeness redraws your subject as tattoo linework while keeping its shape, pose and markings, which suits pet portraits and keepsakes.
Reimagine keeps the subject recognizable but lets the design change pose and composition to fit the style you pick, such as fine line, blackwork or neo-traditional.
Every result comes as a clean design and an on-skin preview on supported placements. Add it to the Patchwork Builder next to reviewed pieces and lettering, or bring both files to your artist.
