DermInk is an AI generation tool focused on tattoo concept design, helping users explore ideas and prepare clear visual references before getting a tattoo.

- Mixed-and-matched design: Use up to four reference images to keep, remove, simplify, or restyle an existing tattoo or sketch.
- Template-style line art: Turn a tattoo design or sketch into clean, high-contrast line art to serve as a concept image for a tattoo artist's reference, but it is not a stencil ready for direct transfer.
