How to design a tattoo with AI
Three steps and about twenty seconds from an idea to a design you can print.

Prompt
a koi fish swimming upstream through waves, with cherry blossoms
2
Choose one of 10 styles, from fine line to Japanese, and where it goes: the forearm gets a tall design, the chest a wide one, the wrist a tiny one.

Six things this tattoo design generator does best, from tiny wrist pieces to back panels.
Designs that read on skin
Clean, confident linework without hair-thin detail that blurs over the years, and a balanced design with breathing room, the way a tattoo artist would draw it.
Shaped for where it goes
Pick the placement and the design follows it: tall and narrow for the forearm, wrapping for the upper arm, large for the back, wide for the chest, tiny for the wrist.
10 styles, true to each
Fine line, minimalist, traditional, neo-traditional, blackwork, black and grey realism, Japanese, geometric, watercolor and lettering, each with its own linework and palette.
Lettering spelled right
Words in quotes are lettered exactly as you write them, every letter in place: names, dates, a motto in script or blackletter.
Your photo as a design
Add a photo of your pet, a flower or a place and it is redrawn as a tattoo in the style you pick, still recognizable.
Stencil-ready on white, or ink only
Every design comes on pure white, ready to print as a stencil. The transparent PNG keeps the ink only, to lay over a photo of your skin or print on a T-shirt.
Guide: a tattoo design worth taking to your artist
Five short notes on ideas, styles, placements, lettering and printing.
Start from one clear idea
One subject and one or two supporting elements make the strongest tattoo: "a sprig of lavender wrapped around a crescent moon". Say what it means to you in a detail, a flower, a date, an animal.
Choose the style that ages well
Bold traditional and blackwork lines hold for decades; fine line and watercolor look delicate and suit larger sizes. Black and grey realism needs room for its shading, so give it the back or the upper arm.
Match the placement
The placement sets the shape: 2:3 for the forearm, 3:4 for the upper arm and back, 3:2 for the chest, square for small spots. A small spot gets a design with very few lines that stays readable at about 3 cm.
Lettering and names
Put the words in quotes, exactly as they should read: 'a swallow carrying a ribbon banner that reads "Home"'. Pick Lettering for script or blackletter on its own; any other style places the words in the design.
Print it and take it to your artist
A design costs 3 credits at 1K, 5 at 2K and 8 at 4K for a large print. Print it at the size you want on the skin, or bring the file: your tattoo artist turns it into the final stencil.
