Terms of use

These terms cover the free tools on this site and the paid Studio plans (Artist and Pro). Tattoo Stencil Maker is operated from Hong Kong SAR. Questions: support@tattoostenciler.com. These terms take effect on the day the Studio plans launch.

Short version: the stencil maker and every other free tool stay free, with no account. A Studio plan is a subscription that renews automatically until you cancel it in the billing portal. If you haven't used your plan, you can get a full refund within 7 days of a payment. You keep the rights to your images and designs.

The tool

Tattoo Stencil Maker is a free tool provided as is, without warranty of any kind. Stencils are generated automatically and are a starting point: always check the size (use the 5 cm calibration bar on every printed sheet), the mirroring and the linework yourself before transferring anything to skin. Tattooing is your responsibility and that of the artist; we are not liable for the result.

Your images

Only upload images you have the right to use. You keep all rights to your own images and to the stencils you make from them. In private mode the tools process your photos on your device and we never receive them; with AI clean lines a copy of the photo is sent to our AI provider to be redrawn, as described in the privacy policy. The only images we store are the finished stencils you choose to save to your Studio library (see "Your designs and your library" below).

The stencils in the free gallery are made from images that Wikimedia Commons lists as public domain or CC0, re-checked against the Commons API before each release. We dedicate our stencil versions to the public domain under CC0 1.0, so you may use them for personal or paid tattoos without attribution. Public-domain status can differ by country; the source and licence of each design are linked on its gallery page.

Studio plans and your account

  • The Artist and Pro plans are described, with their current prices and allowances, on the pricing page. Everything that is free without an account stays free.
  • To subscribe you sign in with Google. You need to be at least 18 and you are responsible for activity on your account. One account is for one person; don't share your sign-in.
  • Payments are taken by Stripe, our payment processor. Prices are in US dollars and include any applicable tax; no tax is added at checkout.
  • AI clean lines: 3 free runs a day without an account, 5 a day signed in. The Artist plan adds 60 runs a month and the Pro plan 200, as shown on the pricing page.

Subscription, auto-renewal and cancellation

  • Auto-renewal. A plan is a subscription. It renews automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or yearly, whichever you chose) and the card you gave Stripe is charged the then-current price for that plan, until you cancel.
  • Cancelling. You can cancel at any time in the billing portal: open your account and press "Manage billing". Your plan keeps working until the end of the period you have paid for and is not renewed after that. Cancelling does not by itself refund the current period (see "Refunds").
  • Changing plan. You can switch between Artist and Pro, or between monthly and yearly, in the billing portal. Stripe works out the difference for the rest of the period (proration).
  • Allowances. AI allowances reset every month from your billing date, also on yearly plans. Unused units do not roll over and have no cash value.
  • Failed payments. If a renewal payment fails, your plan keeps working while Stripe retries the payment and you can update your card in the billing portal. If the payment still fails after the retries, the subscription ends and your account goes back to the free tools.
  • Price changes. If we change the price of a plan, we will tell you by email at least 30 days before it applies to your subscription, and the new price applies from your next renewal. You can cancel before then.
  • After a plan ends. Your saved library stays viewable, downloadable and deletable. You can't add new designs, save flash sheets or print batches, or use AI without a live plan.

Refunds

  • Unused plans: full refund within 7 days. If you ask within 7 days of a payment (your first payment or a renewal) and you have not used the plan since that payment, we refund that payment in full. "Used" means saving a design to your Studio library, saving or printing a flash sheet or print batch from your Studio, exporting a ZIP, or using an AI generation.
  • What a full refund does. A full refund cancels the subscription and your account goes back to the free tools straight away. Your saved library stays viewable, downloadable and deletable.
  • Other cases. If you have used the plan, or it has been more than 7 days, we look at each request individually; we are not obliged to refund, but write to us if something went wrong.
  • How to ask. Email support@tattoostenciler.com from the address you signed in with.
  • Chargebacks. If you dispute a payment with your bank, the plan is suspended while the dispute is open. Please contact us first; we can usually sort it out faster.
  • Access starts at once (EU/UK right of withdrawal). Consumers in the EU and UK normally have 14 days to withdraw from a contract for digital services. Before checkout you tick the box "I want access to start now and understand I lose my 14-day right of withdrawal"; we record that consent and the time with your order. Without it we can't start a subscription. The 7-day refund for unused plans above still applies to everyone.
  • Nothing in these terms limits refund or cancellation rights you have under the consumer law of the country you live in.

Your designs and your library

  • You keep your rights. You own (or keep whatever rights you have in) the images you upload and the designs and stencils you make. We claim no ownership of them.
  • What you let us do. When you save a design to your Studio library, you give us permission to store it, process it and show it back to you, only to run the service for you (for example to list it, download it and lay it out on a flash sheet). This permission ends when you delete the design or your account, apart from backups that expire on their normal schedule.
  • We don't use your designs for anything else. We don't publish them, sell them or use them to train AI models.
  • Your responsibility. Only save images and designs that you have the right to use. If you tattoo someone else's design, getting their permission is up to you.

AI generations

  • AI clean lines are free up to 3 runs a day without an account and 5 a day signed in; a plan adds its monthly allowance. Runs are made by our AI provider, SeeAPI, from a scaled-down copy of your photo that we keep for at most 15 minutes (see the privacy policy). A run the provider refuses or that fails is never charged. We may pause AI, for example if the provider fails or a daily spending limit is reached; Classic lines on your device keep working.
  • AI output may not be protected by copyright. In many countries, including the United States, images generated by AI without enough human authorship cannot be registered or protected by copyright. That means you may not be able to stop others from copying an AI-generated design, and someone else may receive a similar result. As far as we have any rights in the output, we give them to you.
  • Check every AI result before you use it. AI can produce something that looks like an existing design, logo or character; you are responsible for making sure you may use what you tattoo.

Acceptable use

You may not use the site or a plan to:

  • upload, save or generate content that is illegal, that infringes someone else's copyright, trademark or privacy, or that sexualises minors, threatens or harasses people, or promotes hatred;
  • try to get around plan limits, allowances or payments, share one paid account between several people, or resell access;
  • overload, scrape, probe or attack the site or its API, or use it in an automated way beyond normal personal use of the tools;
  • pretend to be someone else.

If you break these rules we may remove the content concerned and suspend or close your account. If we close a paid account without a serious breach on your part, we refund the unused part of the current period.

Liability

The tools and plans are provided as is. We work to keep them available and your library safe, but we don't promise they will be uninterrupted or error-free, so keep your own copies of designs that matter to you. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of Hong Kong SAR, and the courts of Hong Kong SAR deal with disputes. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory consumer law of the country you live in, and you can bring a claim there.

Changes

We may change or discontinue the free tools at any time. If we stop offering a paid plan, you keep it until the end of the period you have paid for, or we refund the unused part. We may update these terms; for changes that affect a paid plan to your disadvantage we will tell you by email at least 30 days before they apply, and you can cancel before then. Otherwise the version on this page applies. These terms take effect on the day the Studio plans launch.
