Tattoo Generator On Body
Do you want to know how a potential tattoo will look before you make the life-long commitment of actually getting it done? Maybe you’ve typed in a Google search, “Tattoo Generator On Body,” and found a sea of endless apps. Have you installed them and tried them out, one by one, only to be disappointed with the lame features that didn’t help you?
I feel your pain.
That’s why I’m sharing my preferred way to visualize a potential tattoo.
Introducing Canva
Canva is a graphic design tool that is useful for making Pinterest pins, event flyers, advertisements, and more.
The site offers the ability to upload a picture of yourself and add graphics to that picture, which is how I use it to view potential tattoos on my body.
There are 1,000s of graphics to choose from!
The best thing about Canva is that it is free! You can upgrade to a paid version for more graphics, but there are plenty of free ones to choose from.
How to Use Canva for Tattoo Generator on Body
- Visit Canva and make your free account.
- Click on “Create a Design” and select the size format. I suggest the “Pinterest Pin” size. (When you are finished with your design, you can save it to your computer or share it on social media.)
- You’ll see a dark toolbar to the left. Click on “Uploads” and upload a picture of the part of your body that you would like to see with a potential tattoo. Once the image has been uploaded, apply it to the design by clicking it or dragging it.
- Next, click on “Elements” in the toolbar. Type what images you would like to see in the search bar. Then click on either “Graphics” or “Photos” to browse.
- When you have found an image that you like, apply it to your picture either by clicking on it or by dragging it.
- Adjust the size of the image as you like. You can change the angle by clicking and dragging the curved arrow next to the image.
- Along the top of the screen, you will see options to edit, crop, or flip the image.
- When you are satisfied with your potential tattoo, you can save the image by clicking on the “Share” button in the top right corner. A list of save or share options will drop down for you to choose from.
Examples of Canva as a Tattoo Generator for Body
Now that you’ve been given a quick Canva tutorial, I’ll bet you’re eager to see some examples.
Vertical Stomach Scar Tattoo Cover Up
This was a rough year for me, as I had to get a hysterectomy to remove a giant fibroid cyst that was growing on my uterus. There were complications that led to me receiving this giant scar.
I never thought I would get another tattoo, because I’m trying to live a chemical free life, but I really hate the way my stomach scars look, and I want to wear crop tops again!
Below is an example of how Canva can be used as a tattoo generator on the body.
As you can see, this dragon graphic doesn’t entirely cover the scar. However, this is simply a framework to give a tattoo artist an idea of what I’m looking for. I could always tell the artist that I want the dragon altered in certain ways and use their previous designs to pick style alterations.
Below are some more dragon designs.
I wasn’t able to change the colors on this dragon using Canva, (some graphics don’t come with that feature,) but I was able to alter the flame colors to match the dragon.
Again, this is just a guideline to give the artist an idea of what I am looking for.
Below are a couple of more ideas…
Tramp Stamp Cover Up Ideas
When I was 16, I used to get money from my dad by making him uncomfortable.
“Dad, I’m on my period again, can I have money for tampons?” He’d make a disgusted face and throw a $20 at me.
“Dad, I’m bleeding again. I need more tampons.” He’d throw another $20 at me. He didn’t seem to notice that his daughter was bleeding several times a month…
Eventually, I saved up enough money for… a tramp stamp!
But, who would tattoo an underage girl?
I found my “artist” by asking around my high school. Someone drove me out to their house way out in the country. A scruffy, unfriendly, middle-aged man arrived with a tool box.
“Hi! I’m Katy. What’s your name?”
“Yeah, I’m not gonna tell you that. You got the money or what?”
And, the tramp stamp was born. It’s been hanging out above my booty cheeks since the early 2000s.
Back then it was cool to have a tramp stamp. In fact, no one was even calling them that yet. Or, at least I had never heard it called that.
It doesn’t matter though. I’m certain that any tattoo I would have chosen and any tattoo he could have given me would inspire regret at some point.
I’ve never bothered to cover it up because, as I mentioned, I’m not the biggest fan of tattoos because they introduce toxins into the body. Also, the tramp stamp is something I rarely have to look at, because it’s on my back. I forget it’s there sometimes.
However, the scars on my belly inspired me to make some changes. If I’m going to get the scars covered up, I might as well cover up my tramp stamp too.
Or tattoos are just addictive…
Below are some ideas I was able to generate using Canva.
Again, these are just ideas. In these pictures, the graphics are blacked out, but I’d have the artist make some highlights and add color.
There are so many different ways to draw the same thing, and if a tattoo artist can’t get some kind of visual of what you are trying to explain, you could be wasting your time and theirs. That’s why having a tattoo generator like Canva is useful!
I hope this post has been helpful for you!

Thanks for reading! Stay tuned for the actual cover-up progress! The tramp stamp will get covered first as my belly scars need more time to heal.
