Tips

• Reference your tattoo artist — Show the generated design as a starting point, not a final stencil
• Consider your skin tone — Darker designs work better on lighter skin; bold lines suit all skin tones
• Think about aging — Simpleer designs with bolder lines age better than ultra-fine details
• Size matters — Small tattoos can't hold as much detail; describe your intended size

FAQ

Q: Can the AI generate tattoos with text or quotes?
A: Yes, but the text rendering may not be perfect. We recommend using the design as inspiration and having your tattoo artist finalize the lettering.

Q: What if I don't know what style I want?
A: Just describe your idea! The AI will suggest 2-3 appropriate styles and generate the most popular one.

Q: Can I use this design directly for tattooing?
A: The design is reference art. Always consult your tattoo artist — they'll adapt the design for your skin, body curvature, and their technique.
