THE BLACKLINE STANDARD
Not a filter.
A construction drawing.
A precise stencil can be the difference between a mediocre tattoo and a phenomenal one. It is the architectural blueprint of the finished work—guiding proportion, placement, structure and flow before the needle touches skin. When it is clean, readable and accurate, it saves the artist time, supports confident application and gives the client a clear view of how the finished tattoo will sit on their body.

10%
OF BLACKLINE'S NET PROFITS
FOR MENTAL-HEALTH RESEARCH
A LINE WITH PURPOSE
Supporting mental health research
BLACKLINE by UNIFY is proud to support the Society for Mental Health Research (SMHR).
BLACKLINE commits 10% of its net profits to SMHR. This amount is set aside monthly and donated quarterly to support SMHR's work advancing the knowledge needed for better understanding, prevention, treatment and recovery in mental health.
This commitment is deeply personal to BLACKLINE founder Myles Grace. Having experienced mental-health struggles himself and seen their effects across his family, friends and the tattoo community, including the loss of his brother and people he first knew as tattoo clients, Myles believes that something created to help tattoo artists can also contribute to meaningful mental-health research and lasting change.
BLACKLINE by UNIFY is an independent supporter of SMHR. SMHR does not endorse BLACKLINE or its products or services. SMHR's name and logo are used with permission.

SMHR is an Australian registered health-promotion charity and DGR, ABN 63 775 416 041. Purchases are not donations or tax-deductible gifts. The commitment is calculated after refunds, GST, operating costs and income-tax provision, set aside monthly and donated quarterly.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST STENCIL
Clear answers for working artists.
BLACKLINE is built to speed up preparation while keeping the tattooist responsible for the final line.Is the stencil an exact copy?
No. It is not an exact copy. BLACKLINE creates an AI-assisted interpretation and may take limited artistic liberties to simplify visual noise and make the design clearer as a tattoo, so the complete result must be compared with the source.
How do BLACKLINE accounts work?
Enter your email and BLACKLINE sends private, single-use access. Use the sign-in code or the secure sign-in button in the email. No password required. Your plan and private projects follow the same verified email across devices. One complete stencil is free, unwatermarked and downloadable per UTC calendar month for each verified email account, with no card required. The one-off 10-stencil pack requires verified email sign-in so purchased credits remain recoverable across devices.
How does Pro rollover work?
BLACKLINE adds 50 Pro stencils each calendar month. Unused Pro stencils roll over while Pro remains active, up to a subscription balance of 100. Purchased stencil-pack credits are kept separately, never count toward that cap and are used only after the Pro balance.
Are client images saved?
Free-account and Artist images are not added to a gallery. Pro members can deliberately save a project to their private vault, and nothing is saved there automatically.
What happens if generation fails?
BLACKLINE reserves an allowance before generation. When it can identify that a job failed or stalled, that allowance is returned so an incomplete attempt is not counted as a finished stencil.
Can I change or cancel my plan?
Yes. Active members can use secure billing management to update payment details, change plans or cancel. Cancellation normally takes effect at the end of the paid period.
Can I tattoo directly from the output?
Treat every output as a professional preparation aid. Check anatomy, lettering, orientation, scale, placement and every important contour, then make any artist-led corrections before transfer or tattooing.
How does the 10% research commitment work?
BLACKLINE sets aside 10% of net profits for the Society for Mental Health Research. Net profit for this commitment is calculated after refunds, GST, ordinary operating costs and income-tax provision. The amount is tracked monthly and donated quarterly; buying BLACKLINE is a service purchase, not a tax-deductible donation.
