Built for tattoo flow · Designed for iPad
Forge scales that flow like a tattoo—not a 3D render.
Scale Forge helps tattooers shape snake and dragon scale systems around a custom body silhouette while preserving the graphic rhythm of Japanese tattoo design. Control the path, density, taper and direction—then export or print at the exact physical size your workflow needs.
For iPad with iPadOS 17 or later. App Store price and availability are shown by Apple for your storefront when the product page is live.
Designed around the tattoo, not the render
Direct the body
Build the silhouette and flow without forcing the result into a photorealistic 3D snake.
Shape the scale rhythm
Refine rows, density, direction and taper so the pattern follows the visual movement of the design.
Output with intent
Export PNG, JPEG, PDF or SVG, save to Photos, or prepare an exact-size tiled PDF for printing.
From gesture to stencil-ready reference
- Shape: establish the snake or dragon body and its tattoo composition.
- Flow: direct how rows travel across the form and refine local transitions.
- Review: inspect the graphic result at useful zoom levels before production.
- Export: choose a construction or clean output and set physical print dimensions where required.
Scale Forge is a specialist drawing aid, not an automatic finished-tattoo generator. The artist remains responsible for anatomy, originality, client suitability, rights to imported references and the final tattoo design.
Creative control stays on your iPad
Core image work is performed on-device. Scale Forge does not require an account, does not use advertising trackers and does not collect analytics or personal data. Files only leave the app when you choose an export, save or system sharing destination.
