Questions
The straight answers. If yours isn't here, email support@rankmytat.com.
The basics
What is this? You upload a photo of your tattoo. Three judges give their verdict: a Roast that goes for the throat, an Honest take that plays it straight, and a Hype take that gives credit where it's due — plus your scores. It exists to make you laugh, wince, and send it to the group chat. That's the whole job.
Is any of this… real? No. It's comedy. The Roast, the scores, all of it — opinion and entertainment, nothing more. It is not an expert verdict on your ink, your artist, or your life choices. Don't put it on your CV.
Why is it so brutal? Because that's the point. You didn't come here for a hug. It's savage, it's sweary, and it's meant to be. If harsh adult comedy isn't your thing, no hard feelings — this just isn't your app.
What does it actually go after? The tattoo. The design, the execution, and the decision to get it. Never you — not your face, your body, your worth, or anything about who you are. It's built to obliterate the ink and leave the human standing. If it ever gets that wrong, tell us (see the bottom) and we'll sort it.
Is a robot writing this? Yep. It's AI. Which means now and then it'll misread a photo or say something that makes no sense. Roll with it.
Who can use it
How old do I need to be? 18. No exceptions. It's adult, it's offensive, and it's not for kids — so don't hand your account to one.
How do I log in? Give us your email, we send you a magic link, you tap it, you're in. No password to forget. First time, you'll confirm you're 18+ and alright with the Terms.
Tat Ranks and money
What's a Tat Rank? One Tat Rank = one Judgement. Simple as that.
What does it cost? You get 2 free when you sign up. After that:
- 1 for £2
- 5 for £6
- 10 for £10
Can I get a different roast for the same tattoo? No. One tattoo, one Judgement, final. No do-overs. Want fresh verdicts? Upload a new tattoo and spend another Rank.
When does a Tat Rank actually get used? Only when a Judgement lands. If it fails, you keep your Rank.
How do I pay? Through Stripe. We never see your card details.
Can I get my money back? Bought Ranks you haven't used yet? Ask within 14 days and we'll refund them — support@rankmytat.com. Already spent one on a Judgement? That one's gone — you asked for it the second you hit go. And "I didn't like my roast" doesn't count: being brutal is the product working, not breaking. If the app genuinely falls over — takes your Rank and never delivers — tell us and we'll make it right.
Your photos, your rights
What can I upload? Photos of tattoos — JPEG, PNG or WEBP, within the size limits the app shows you.
Can I upload someone else's tattoo? Only with their say-so. If it's on another person, you need their permission to upload it and have it roasted. And the obvious ones: no kids, no intimate photos of anyone without their consent, nothing illegal. Don't use this to bully someone.
Do you feed my photos to your AI to train it? No. Never. Your images are not used to train anything. (We might use anonymised roast text — with nothing that points back to you — to make the app funnier.)
Your data, and deleting it
What happens to my photo? It goes to our AI to make your Judgement, then it sits with your account. We bin it automatically after 12 months of you not showing up, and instantly if you delete your account. Want it gone sooner? Just ask.
Who else touches my data? The services that keep the lights on — OpenAI and xAI (the AI), Supabase (accounts and storage), Stripe (payments), Vercel (hosting), Cloudflare (security). Full list's in the Privacy Policy.
How do I delete everything? Settings → Delete account. Photos and tattoo data gone; your roast text gets unlinked from you; payment records stick around only as long as the taxman insists.
When something goes wrong
My verdict got stuck, or never showed up. Sometimes the Judges have an off day. If a verdict doesn't land, the app quietly has a couple of goes on its own. If it still can't deliver, you'll see "The Judges stepped out" — just hit Try Again. And the bit that matters: a Tat Rank is only spent when a verdict actually lands. A stuck or failed one doesn't cost you a thing — you keep your Rank.
It looked like it worked, then the screen died. If a verdict actually generated, it's saved to your account — go back to that tattoo and it'll be sitting there. You won't be charged twice.
A Rank vanished and I got nothing, or it keeps failing. Not meant to happen. Email support@rankmytat.com with your account email and roughly when it happened, and we'll dig in and put it right — restore the Rank, refund it, or fix whatever's broken. We'll do our very best to come back to you within 48 hours.
Sharing, reporting, and getting hold of us
Can I share my roast? Please do. Screenshot it, post it, send it round — it's yours, for personal use. Just leave our name on it, don't sell it, and don't pass it off as a real review.
It went after ME, not my tattoo. Or it crossed a line. That shouldn't happen. If it does, tell us: support@rankmytat.com. We'll look at it and take it down if it's over the line.
I need help, or I've got a complaint. One address for the lot — help, complaints, refunds, privacy, reporting: support@rankmytat.com. We'll do our very best to reply within 48 hours.
