LOOKSMETER · COMPARISON
Looking for a Check.Tattoo alternative?
Check.Tattoo is an online tool for reviewing tattoo designs and placement. LooksMeter offers a tattoo rating tool in the browser that covers both sides of the question: a mode for a design you are planning and a mode for a tattoo you already have, with a free first scan.
Two modes in one browser tool
People ask for tattoo feedback at two different moments: before the appointment, when the design and size can still change and after, when they want an objective read on existing ink or ideas for how to frame it. LooksMeter gives each moment its own rubric tab.
What LooksMeter includes
Here is what you get, starting with what is free:
A free 1-10 Tattoo Score with 5 markers
Overall score, tier, percentile, style read, readiness call and individual scores for composition, line clarity, detail density, size readability and placement fit. Free on your first scan with no account.
Placement and size selectors
Pick your intended body zone and centimetre size band before scanning a design or let the tool infer the best-fitting zone.
An artist brief in the full report
Concrete sizing, line-weight and negative-space talking points to bring to your stencil consultation.
1 AI on-body placement preview included
Unlocked design reports let you upload a photo of your own arm, shoulder, chest, back or leg to preview how the design sits on your skin.
One-time report unlock
Each full report is a single purchase saved to your account, with no subscription required.
Where to start
Open Tattoo Rating, pick 'Design I am planning' or 'Tattoo I have' and upload your image. Your first scan is free.
