THE PLANNING STUDIO
Your preview, your choice
How TattooLab handles local photos and intentionally shared previews.
Original photos stay with you
The editor processes your body photo and artwork in tab memory. Saving downloads a watermarked PNG without copying original image metadata. It does not upload your source files or send them to an AI service.
Share only when you choose
Creating a share requires a separate confirmation of the exact watermarked image. That composition is stored privately, then made viewable to anyone with its unlisted link for seven days. The image is not licensed for promotional use. Keep personal details out of the image and links you distribute.
Delete or let it expire
Keep the separate private management link to delete your share sooner. Only a hash of that deletion credential is stored. Losing the private link means you must wait for expiry; there is no account recovery for anonymous shares. Expiry or deletion immediately denies further viewing. Stored image deletion is retried automatically if storage is temporarily unavailable. Downloaded copies and third-party caches cannot all be recalled.
Storage and connection records
Cloudflare hosts this site and its private image storage. The application does not make image backups or log image content, filenames or deletion credentials. Database recovery snapshots can retain share metadata for up to 30 days; they contain hashes and timestamps, not image bytes or the private deletion key. A restored database must never reactivate an expired or deleted preview. Cloudflare also processes ordinary connection information such as IP addresses and requested URLs to operate and protect the service.
Your planning notes stay local
Calculator inputs and artist briefs stay in this tab until you copy or download them. This release has no email collection, payments, AI processing or optional usage tracking. Website assets may be cached; your editor images and notes are not stored in browser storage.
Planning with your artist
Use the preview to discuss your idea. Confirm the final placement, size and cost with your tattoo artist.
