Could you build this?
Partial A basic image overlay app is easy to make, but on-device realistic tattoo deformation over 3D skin contours and portrait relighting require specialized computer vision and CoreML/Metal shaders.
What it would actually take: The app requires iOS development with Metal and CoreML. The hard technical hurdle is body pose and surface mesh estimation (e.g., dense pose / UV unwrapping of limbs and skin) to warp tattoo graphics realistically across body contours with proper blending modes and skin texture masking, alongside custom relighting algorithms leveraging depth maps and normal estimation.
