Hey hunters! 👋 I built TryInk after watching a close friend walk out of a tattoo studio regretting her placement. The design was beautiful — but on her wrist it looked completely different from what she'd imagined. The artist had warned her. She just couldn't visualize it until it was permanent. That's the problem TryInk solves. Upload a photo of yourself → pick a design → drag it exactly where you want it → see a realistic composite before you commit to anything. A few things that were harder than expected to get right: • Real RGBA compositing — not just slapping a flat image on top. The renderer handles transparency, edge feathering, and skin-tone blending so it actually looks like it's on skin • Placement for curved surfaces (wrists, forearms, collarbones) is very different from flat ones — the geometry matters • 180+ designs built specifically for placement testing across 11 styles and 18 body parts It's free, no sign-up required. There's also a public API and MCP server if you want to plug it into your own tools or AI agents. Would love to hear: what's the one thing that makes you hesitate before booking a tattoo appointment? That's exactly what I'm trying to fix next. 🙏
