From approved preview to stencil, and onto your feed

Once your client says yes, the same project gives you a print-ready stencil at true size and short videos made for Instagram, Reels and TikTok.

A sculpted head and neck with fine-line tattoos

An approved preview is useful twice more: once in the chair, as a stencil at the size you agreed, and again on social media, where a slow turn around a 3D body shows the piece better than any flat flash sheet.

Open the stencil export from your design and choose a style:

  • Stencil: clean black lines, ready for thermal or transfer paper.
  • Outline: traced edges only, for when you want the bare structure.
  • Original: the artwork as you designed it.

Set the width in centimetres, choose A4 or Letter paper and download a PDF. The page notes the design's name and size, so the print in your hand matches what your client approved. Turn on Mirror when your transfer method needs a reversed image.

Make a video for social

Export a short MP4 of the design on the body with a camera move, in the shape your platform wants: Portrait 4:5 for Instagram posts, Square 1:1 for feeds and DMs, or Story 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Stories.

  • 360° turn: one full turn around the body. Included on every plan.
  • Showcase sway, Push in, Rise & orbit and Front to back for more variety. Included on the Artist and Master plans.

Prefer a still? Export a PNG image of the current view instead.

Ask before you post

A custom piece is personal. Check with your client before posting their design, especially before the tattoo is done. Many are happy to share; some would rather keep it a surprise.
