What Omi is (and isn't)

A tattoo is the only thing you buy that you keep forever. But finding the right tattoo is often harder than it should be. The industry is full of fragmented platforms, opaque pricing, and assistants built to push a sale rather than guide a decision.

Omi is an AI tattoo assistant built by Inkjin, specifically designed for the tattoo world. Omi is not a design generator, it's not a booking widget, and it's not a browse experience. Tell Omi your tattoo idea and it will help you figure out what you actually want, before you start looking for the right artist.

Omi is built to help you get it right. We believe the worst outcome in tattooing isn't a slow decision. It's a fast regret. Omi acts as your sounding board to help you figure out exactly what you want before you ever step into a studio.

You can ask Omi about ideas, explore styles, find artists close to you, browse their portfolios and flash designs, get honest answers about pain and pricing, and organize your thoughts into a clear summary you can share with an artist. It can pull real flash designs from the Inkjin catalog and point you to artists who specialize in what you're looking for.

Omi slows you down in the right places, making sure you're confident in your choice, and makes everything else effortless.


Behind the name

Omi is named after the Great Omi, Horace Ridler, one of the most famous tattooed men in history. In 1927 he spent more than 150 hours in George Burchett's London studio, and he wore the result for the rest of his life. He knew exactly what he wanted, and he committed to it. Omi exists to help you get there too.


Behind the mark

When we designed Omi's mark, we started with the most famous AI eye in history: HAL 9000's unblinking red lens from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Then we reversed every decision. Black and gray instead of red because the best tattoos are black and gray, the style that ages best, cuts deepest, and lasts. A warm glowing core instead of a cold stare. An eye that blinks. And a ring that doesn't fully close because a sealed circle is a wall, and Omi was never meant to be a wall. It was meant to be an opening.
