How to Make Tattoo Designs Online

When you get a tattoo, it is permanent, so designing your own tattoo online before you get one makes sense. Tattoo parlors have thousands of designs for you to choose from, and it is hard to choose one out of so many. When you design your own tattoo online, you can use your own images, or use a template on the website.


  1. Decide on what kind of tattoo you want before you start. You can do some research of other tattoos, and look in tattoo parlors at the different designs they offer. You may want to honor someone else with your tattoo. Look in books and magazines for pictures, or look at pictures online.

  2. Find a website that allows you to make tattoo designs. For example, StrayTats is a website that allows you different ways to create a tattoo design. You can also upload your own pictures from your computer, draw your own tattoo, or choose one of their tattoos.

  3. Customize your tattoo after you have uploaded your image, created your own, or used one already on the site you are visiting. You can add text to the tattoo and change the colors. Click “File” and then click “Save” to save the image to your computer in a .png format.

  4. Select the size of the tattoo you want. There will be a slider you can use to adjust the size of the tattoo. Make sure the size is correct. Select how many copies of the tattoo you want to purchase.

  5. Click the “Order” button, review your order, check the “I agree to the terms of service” checkbox, and click “Checkout.” Enter your payment details, and you will receive the tattoo in a few days.
