How this comparison was checked

Official pages checked on 2026-09-07. The source links below describe what each publisher advertises; we did not run a controlled hands-on test across these apps. A feature missing from a source is unverified, not proof that it is unavailable.

Ombra publishes this page about its own app. The order is not an independent quality score. Prices, free allowances and platform availability can vary; verify the relevant store or product page before paying.

Choose by the question you need to answer

Already have an old tattoo? Look for an upload workflow that keeps the old tattoo in the planning reference. Compare scale and placement, then ask an artist about feasibility; a realistic image cannot predict ink coverage.

Already have a design? Placement tools help discuss size and position. Still choosing a motif? A generator can produce references, but the artist may need to redraw them. Keep your original photo beside any edited preview so the existing ink is not forgotten.

FAQ

What is the best app for planning a tattoo cover-up?

Choose a tool that accepts a photo of your existing tattoo and helps you compare directions. Ombra offers this planning workflow. The best choice depends on the task and payment terms; only a tattoo artist can assess physical coverage.

Can an app show a cover-up on my real tattoo?

It can create a concept on a photo. This helps communicate style, scale and placement, but cannot establish whether new ink will hide old ink or predict healing. Bring the original photo and the concept to an artist.

Are AI tattoo cover-up apps free?

Free download and free generation are different. Ombra is free to download; generation and photo previews require payment. Other products set their own allowances and paid features. Check those terms before choosing.
