The real deal❤️‍🔥🔥🔥

say goodbye to five different applications just to make one stencil !!!!!!Soon as I seen this app being promoted, I was curious and thought to myself this is probably just another one of those static makers but no this app lets you control your blueprint to the fullest extent from making your stencil multi page size to creating a reference out of your original design remember when you had to take your stencil app back to Procreate to your stencil app and then back to Procreate again yeah scratch that don’t play yourself. This dental Apple Watch do everything I want to edit your design change the opacity create or erase new lines even put new sections of shading or borders. Yes, you can literally draw in this app or you can flip resize mirror pretty much everything you can think of that you would need to do to your stencil on Procreate. You can find it here, and I’m always excited to use products made for tattooers by tattooers. Thanks for making my job easy GHOSTLINE can’t wait for the updates. I don’t know how you can make this any better!!!

Amazing app, saves time and improves your quality of work!

I’ve had this app since the day it came out. It’s designed extremely well, very user friendly. The interface is easy to navigate, and all of the tools are smooth and effective in creating the perfect stencil. I’ve had about every application made for making stencils, and this is by far the best one I’ve used. If your hesitant about the 5$ monthly subscription, just consider how much time this will save you, and that’s basically the cost of a cup of coffee, which you probably buy every morning. If your a walk in artist, your also going to increase your output. No more spending an hour to draw up that design, have it done in under a minute. Having a clean stencil is essential to a successful tattoo, and this will improve your work, I guarantee it. Happy tattooing!

No need for this app to be subscription based. Cheaper/better alternatives are available

It does what it says, but I would love to know why this app utilizes a subscription model? Does it provide a myriad of new features every month or every year? Does it use heavy bandwidth for the developers? Did it cost millions in capitol to create this app so they have to recoup the costs in perpetuity? A subscription model makes sense for something like the Adobe Suite, where you are literally bombarded with new features and updates every month. In this case, it is a simple as greed. Again it is a good app, but you don’t have to choose a subscription model for the sake of siphoning money from people every month/year for an app that simply creates stencils. Other apps provide this at a fraction or the cost for a one time cost. This is not a comprehensive editing suite. Currently this app’s subscription is set at $6/month or $60/year. Compare this to Adobe Express, which gives you Photoshop Express and Adobe Firefly, costing $10/month. We all enjoy making money, but please be reasonable.

Thank you for trying Ghostline out and sharing your thoughts. While we won’t comment on the pricing decisions of other developers or applications; we are happy to explain the rationale behind our subscription model. We are a tattooer-owned & operated company; with zero outside or corporate funding. We built this ourselves and, furthermore; it takes a lot of time away, from our own tattooing, to build and maintain and update this app. Ghostline is more than a stencil generator. Our photo Upscale tool enhances the quality of lower resolution photos so you can have better reference and better stencils than with any other application. Our unique Print Layout tool is one of the best features of the app, which allows you to scale and grid your stencils to ANY size you need, automatically (print a full body suit sized stencil, with ease). The editing and reference abilities are also super helpful. We have actually launched 5 unique updates, in less than a year, so that is about one new update, every other month or so. We have been working diligently and tirelessly on the next update; which is going to be our biggest and best one, yet, as a matter of fact. On top of that, we are still tattooing and working, full-time, and working on other innovations for the tattoo community. We are building the best products that we can; while focusing, solely, on tattoo artists and their specific needs. Our goal is to save our customers as much time as possible, and we feel that our current pricing reflects the value of the unique tools we offer. The subscription price serves to grow the app and the features, and we're certainly working on some big ones (all of which will be available to users, as part of the existing fee).We understand if you don't find the value in the app and the subscription model but please let us know how we can improve. Half of our updates have been directly influenced by ideas from our existing users! If you're willing; we would love to have you stick around a bit -- 2024 is going to be a crazy year :)

I’ve been using Ghostline since the launch and I can’t tell you how many times this app has saved me time, work, and energy. The filter used for this stencil process is definitely unique and super efficient. I’ve been using photoshop/illustrator/procreate to achieve a similar effect but this is so fast and it’s perfect every time. This is incredibly useful for more realistic style tattooing but can also be used for simple designs… simply run it through Ghostline after you’ve lost all your resolution in procreate from resizing. Oversize print option has been a life saver working as a guest artist when you don’t have all your tools and comfort of working at home base. Client wants to change there design? No problem, Ghostline. Can’t print oversize with procreate off iPad? Ghostline. Resize? Ghostline.

• The Send button is back on the image preview. It shares the selected version at full size; printing stays in Print. • Print → Send → Image now shares your image at its original size and proportions, with your exposure setting applied, instead of paper-sized pages.
