Choose a starting area to load a placement brief, then discuss the final fit with your artist. ## Five ways to develop your tattoo idea Choose the kind of reference you need. Every workflow creates a concept for a professional artist to adapt. 01 ### Custom design Build a personal design from your subject, preferred style, and reference images. 02 ### Stencil concepts Explore a black linework draft with essential contours. Your artist prepares and approves the final transfer stencil. 03 ### Cover-up idea Explore darker shapes and camouflage directions around existing ink. Upload a reference; an artist must assess what can be covered. 04 ### Single flash designs Create one isolated flash-style design, then generate other motifs separately to develop a collection. 05 ### Sleeve concept Explore connected motifs and a flowing focal hierarchy for an arm. The result is a planning reference, not a printable wrap. ## Better direction makes a better tattoo prompt Name the main subject first. Add the style, body area, composition, colour, and anything you want left out. Change one choice at a time to compare directions. Subject + style + placement + composition + colour + exclusions A geometric fox framed by three nested triangles, balanced forearm composition, black linework, sparse dotwork shading, white background, no text. ## From first idea to artist consultation Use the AI tattoo maker to explore your options, then take the strongest concept into a conversation with your artist. 01 ### Describe what matters Start with a subject or memory. Add a reference image when a face, pet, or existing design matters to the idea. 02 ### Explore a visual direction Choose a style and workflow. Adjust colour, line weight, detail, and placement, then compare another version. 03 ### Bring a clearer reference Download your favourite concept. Discuss scale, readability, and placement with your artist before the final drawing and stencil. ## Control the details that shape your tattoo concept Go beyond a subject name. Build a design brief with the visual choices your tattoo artist will want to discuss. ### Start from your references Add up to five images to guide a subject, a personal memory, or the visual direction. ### Shape the composition Choose a body area and an aspect ratio suited to a compact symbol or a longer design. ### Choose line weight and detail Compare delicate, balanced, or bold lines and simplify a concept that feels too busy. ### Compare black ink and colour Explore black-and-grey or full-colour directions while keeping the same subject. ### Return to your concepts Find saved generations in your history, download favourites, and reuse a prompt. ### Prepare a shareable reference Download the available resolution, up to 4K, and let your artist refine the final design. ## Try a design.
