Lettering lives on smooth, clean lines
Lettering is precision work. The smoothness of every curve, the consistency of every stroke. It all matters. A wobble in a script tail or an uneven line shows up immediately. The cleaner your stencil is, the cleaner your tattoo can be.
Clients sometimes ask for several font options as well, when they're not sure which one they like the most. Although letter tattoos look small, and the stencil process doesn't take long, making several fonts can add up the time cost. As tattoo artists, we want to make our clients happy and try our best to show them all the fonts they're hesitating about.
With AI Tattoo Stencil, you can drop in 3 or 4 font versions of the same phrase and you have stencils for all of them in minutes, or more options if you like. The client sees real options and can pick the one they love the most. This is a better experience for the client, and you, the artist, will get all the credit while AI Tattoo Stencil handles all the tracing work.

Built for lettering workflows
Smooth lines, the way lettering needs them
Lettering is unforgiving. A wobble in a script tail shows up immediately. AI Tattoo Stencil gives you stencils with the smoothness lettering depends on. Curves stay clean, strokes stay consistent, the letterforms come back the way you intended.
Try multiple fonts in the time one used to take
When stencils take five minutes instead of an hour, you can show your client multiple font options on paper, or even as a real stencil on the skin. They pick the one they love the most, and you save your precious time.
No more Procreate fiddling
Procreate can produce a clean lettering stencil if you're willing to learn all the tricks: layers on top of layers, curves adjustments, smoothing each letter by hand. AI Tattoo Stencil gets you to a clean stencil in one upload. No tricks to memorize.
It feels different to use
This is the part that's hard to describe until you try it. Generating a second font option used to mean another hour of prep, so you didn't bother. With AI Tattoo Stencil, you bother. Once you've felt how that changes the consultation, going back feels strange.
Tattoo lettering stencil questions
Will the curves and strokes come back smooth, or will I need to clean them up?
AI Tattoo Stencil reads your design and outputs the same letterforms as a clean stencil. The curves and strokes you drew or selected come back smooth. That's the part lettering depends on.
Does it work on script as well as Old English, modern slim fonts, and Chicano lettering?
Yes. AI Tattoo Stencil works on script, Old English, modern slim fonts, and Chicano lettering. All the lettering styles tattoo artists actually use. AI Tattoo Stencil does an honest reading from the source: whatever font or hand-lettering you uploaded is the form you get back as a stencil.
How does this compare to making a lettering stencil in Procreate?
Procreate can produce a clean lettering stencil if you're willing to learn all the tricks: layers on top of layers, smoothing curves by hand, adjusting threshold and contrast. AI Tattoo Stencil gets you to a clean finished stencil in one upload. The bigger difference is on second and third options. Procreate makes those expensive, AI Tattoo Stencil makes those cheap.
Will the AI alter my lettering? I don't want it changing letterforms.
It won't. AI Tattoo Stencil does an honest reading from the source. Your letterforms, spacing, and proportions stay exactly as you uploaded them. The output is a clean stencil of the same design, not a reinterpretation.
Will the stencil print right on a Spirit S8 or Stencil Stuff thermal printer?
Yes. AI Tattoo Stencil generates a clean JPEG file ready for the standard thermal stencil printers tattoo artists use, including Spirit S8 and Stencil Stuff. Or any normal printer you have on hand. Download and send it directly.
