Looking Glass — Hands-Free Tattoo Reference Stack
Hands-free reference stack, voice controlled references. Talk to your phone and tell it to switch pictures — so while you are tattooing you do not have to touch your iPad with gloves on. Layers also cross-fade on their own if you stay quiet, and you can start, stop, zoom in, and zoom out without breaking sterility.
What Looking Glass does
Voice control — gloved hands stay clean
Say layer one through four, next, previous, play, stop, faster, slower. On-device speech when available. Switch refs mid-session without tapping the screen.
Auto cross-fade
Up to four references cycle on a timer (about two seconds by default). Voice can speed up or slow down the cycle, or hold a single layer when you need it.
Start, stop, and zoom
Control the animation and zoom level from voice or minimal on-screen controls during setup — keep the main glass view clean during the tattoo.
Four-layer stack
Guided setup adds each layer beside a live preview, then Open glass opens the main display: grid, dots, and mic — nothing else in the way.
Save & reopen
Save glass sessions from the menu and reopen saved stacks between appointments.

Frequently asked questions
- How many references can I stack?
- Up to four layers in one glass session.
- Does voice control need internet?
- No. Speech runs on-device when your iPhone supports it.
- What if I do not use voice?
- References still cross-fade on a timer. Voice is optional — handy when your hands are on the machine.
