Igor — founder of StenGen, tattoo artist and owner of Sorry Mom StudioSorryMom Studio · Portugal
I tattooed clients all day — then lost hours after every shift hand-redrawing stencils and refining sketches for the next session. I built StenGen because I was tired of losing that time. Every style in here was tuned against real tattoo references by someone who still has to trace the result onto skin the next morning.

Hours saved, every single week.

A walk-in described 'something with a snake and geometry' and I had three clean concepts on the iPad before she finished her coffee. She booked on the spot.

The stencil tool is the real deal. It picks up tonal depth my old tracing app flattened completely. I stopped redrawing portraits by hand — that's 2–3 hours back after every shift.

You can tell an actual tattooer tuned these styles. The fine line output doesn't do that AI-art wobble — lines actually hold when you size them down to wrist scale.

Sofia O.Fine line specialist · Porto

We put it on the shop iPad for consults. Clients see their idea as real linework in a minute, deposits went up, and my artists prep stencils in minutes instead of evenings.

João M.Shop owner · Coimbra

Mixing ornamental with blackwork gave me a flash sheet direction I'd never have sketched myself. I pin the results and booking requests keep coming back.

Alina V.Illustrator & tattooer · Kraków

Deleted-after-processing was what sold me — client references never leave my control. And the ink preview against actual stencil paper tones saves real misprints.
