Heartbeat tattoo generator: a name, a word or a heart in the line

A heartbeat tattoo draws the peaks of a heart monitor line, often with a name, a word or a heart in the middle. Type a name in the generator and it draws the line around it as you type; switch to a heart or to beats only. Download the drawing as an SVG for your artist, or send it to TatuaIA to design your own version.

How to create a heartbeat tattoo

1
Choose what goes in the middle
Type a name or a word, or choose a heart or beats only. The line stretches around the word as you type.
2
Download it or send it to TatuaIA
Download the SVG to show your artist the exact line, or tap "Turn this into a tattoo design" to get TatuaIA's own versions, with the name already written.
3
Check the lettering
On the design, check that every letter of the name is right. If not, tap Edit or Try again, then download it and take it to your artist.

What the generator draws

A stylized line inspired by a heart monitor trace: a small bump, a tall spike and a softer wave after it, repeated on each side of the center. It's a design, not a medical reading, and it isn't anyone's real heartbeat. The SVG file scales to any size without losing quality, so your artist can resize it for the wrist, the forearm or the collarbone.

The lettering in the preview uses a script font from your device, so it can look different on another phone. Your artist will redraw the name by hand or with their own font anyway; the SVG shows the layout.

Ideas for heartbeat tattoos

A child's or partner's name in the middle of the line
A heart where the line ends, like the first design below
Beats only, as a small line on the wrist or behind the ear
A date in Roman numerals under the line: use the Roman numeral tattoo generator
A word in Morse code coming out of the line, or a sound wave of a voice instead of a heartbeat

Frequently asked questions

Can I download the heartbeat line?

Yes: tap Download SVG. The file is a vector drawing, so it stays sharp at any size and your artist can open it in most design apps or print it for a stencil.

Is it my real heartbeat?

No. The generator draws a stylized line inspired by a heart monitor, the same for everyone. If you want the line from a real ECG, ask your artist to trace it from the printout.

Which font does the name use?

The preview uses a script font already on your device, so it can change from one phone to another. In TatuaIA the name is drawn in the design, and your artist can always redo the lettering by hand.

Is the design unique?

Yes: TatuaIA doesn't pull designs from a catalog, it draws each one from scratch based on your description. Even if you repeat the same sentence you get a different version every time, and with Edit you can make it even more yours.

How much does it cost?

The generator on this page is free. With TatuaIA your first designs are free (with a small watermark). To create without limits, edit and download without the watermark there's TatuaIA Pro, a subscription you'll see priced for your country in the app and can cancel anytime. The price of the actual tattoo is set by the studio.
