About this app

xCanvas is the tattoo font designer that tattoo artists keep on their phone. Preview your name, quote, or tribute in 500+ tattoo fonts and see exactly how your lettering tattoo will look on skin before the needle touches you.

🔥 Preview a lettering tattoo before the ink

Stop guessing what your tattoo will look like. xCanvas lets tattoo artists and clients try hundreds of tattoo fonts on real names, quotes, and phrases — Gothic, script, blackletter, fine-line, tribal, chicano, old English, single-line — before committing to ink. Layer shadows, outlines, neon glow, gold and metallic finishes, and 3D effects to render your lettering tattoo exactly as it will appear on skin. Plan a first tattoo, build a tattoo portfolio, or share concepts with a client before the appointment.

✒️ Hundreds of tattoo fonts in every classic style

Browse 500+ tattoo fonts spanning every traditional and modern lettering style. Gothic blackletter for bold statement pieces. Fine-line script for delicate fine-line work. Tribal and Chicano for traditional sleeves. Old English for memorial pieces. Single-line styles for minimalist tattoos. Every tattoo font renders with realistic ink properties so you can read the strokes, weights, and counter-spaces the way they'll appear under skin.

📐 Curve, layer, and place your tattoo lettering

True object layering lets you compose a tattoo the way you'd plan it on paper. Curve text along a spine, rib, forearm, ankle, or collarbone. Wrap lettering around an existing tattoo, or layer your lettering over a reference photo of skin to preview placement before the chair. Adjust spacing, slant, and weight until the lettering tattoo sits exactly where it needs to.

🎨 Tattoo flash, custom design, and a font logo maker

xCanvas works as more than a tattoo font designer. Sketch tattoo flash compositions with the AI image generator — describe an ornament, a sacred-heart motif, a snake, a rose — and get a transparent-background design ready to layer with your lettering. Use the same tools as a font logo maker for personal brands, shop logos, and merch.

Ratings and reviews

Love this app, but this new format for the app is not my cup of tea. I can no longer change fonts on the fly. It greatly impedes my ability to find the right font for my projects. Plus saved images now have water marks, rendering this app essentially useless. It would otherwise be a five star app but now I guess I'll sadly find a different one now and there is no apparent option to get rid of these marks.

I originally downloaded this app several months ago and back then it was great. Easy to use and over 300 different fonts. Then it changed for the worse. the whole app was redone. some of the fonts that I used to use a lot have disappeared. the app became clumsy and awkward to use and tough to navigate so I uninstalled it. If it changed back to the way it used to be I would reinstall it.

This was the best font app to use for all of my work. Now, the update ruined it. You cannot adjust the size of the font, all the options presented were on one screen beneath the text prompt originally, now you have to slide through multiple pages. The customisation has been reduced, the option to tap on what you typed to make corrections is gone. They reduced the amount of characters you can use drastically. This is a sub-par version and I'm uninstalling.
