Choose how you want to create your animation:

How it works

1.

Prepare 3–6 frames

Draw or photograph each step of your motion (e.g. hand raised → halfway → lowered). Same angle and size for every frame.

2.

Upload in order

Frame 1 = start of motion, last frame = end. You can reorder after uploading.

3.

Set strip width

For tattoos: 20–30px. For digital: 3–5px.

4.

Download & print

You get 2 files: the base image (tattoo this) and the bar mask (print on transparent film). Moving the mask over the tattoo reveals the animation.

Good ideas for frames:

• Bird spreading wings (3–5 stages)

• Person walking or waving

• Flower blooming

• Before / After transformation
