Sound wave tattoos
Sound wave tattoo generator: turn a voice note into a tattoo
A sound wave tattoo draws the shape of a sound: a voice saying "I love you", a baby's laugh or a few seconds of a song. Upload the audio and the generator draws its wave, as bars or as a line, with a word under it if you like. It all happens in your browser. Download the SVG for your artist, or send the idea to TatuaIA.
Example shape. Upload an audio file to draw your own wave.
TatuaIA draws its own sound wave design with your words; for your exact wave, give your artist the SVG. Your first designs are free.
Works in your browser: your audio and your text are not sent or saved.

A voice saying a few words, a laugh or a short piece of a song. Record it with your phone's voice recorder, or use a voice note you already have.

Upload it and choose a style
The generator reads the audio in your browser and draws its wave, as bars or as a line. Add a word or a date under it if you like.

Download the SVG
Tap Download SVG and give the file to your artist: it scales to any size without losing quality. For more ideas around the wave, tap "Turn this into a tattoo design".
What the generator draws, and what it doesn't
It splits your audio into 64 slices, measures the loudest point of each one and draws it as a bar or as a peak of the line. Silence at the start and at the end is trimmed, so the wave fills the width. The shape is really your audio's, but it's a picture: like any printed sound wave, it can't be played back.
Before you upload anything, the generator shows an example shape, clearly marked. Your file is read on your device with your browser's audio engine and is never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
Is my audio uploaded anywhere?
No. The generator reads the file with your browser's audio engine, on your phone or computer, and only the drawing stays on the page. Nothing is sent or saved; if you close the page, it's gone.
How long should the audio be?
Two to ten seconds gives the clearest wave. Longer audio works, but the details get squeezed together; only the first 60 seconds are used, and files over 25 MB aren't accepted.
Can a sound wave tattoo be played back?
Not this one: the generator draws the shape of your audio, and a drawing can't be played. The SVG is meant for your artist to tattoo the exact wave.
Will TatuaIA copy my exact wave?
No. TatuaIA draws its own sound wave design from your words, which helps you try styles and layouts. For your exact wave, give your artist the SVG from this page.
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.
