AI Tattoo Assistant: Quickstart Guide

See your tattoo “already on skin” before you ink. This guide shows the safest way to write prompts, preview placement/scale, and iterate fast.

Core checklist

• Placement + size: forearm / upper arm / shoulder blade / thigh / calf; add rough size (e.g., 8–12 cm) and orientation (vertical/horizontal).
• Style: fine-line, blackwork, watercolor, neo-traditional, minimal.
• Lighting: soft daylight or clean studio; avoid harsh backlight.
• Safety: clean healthy skin as canvas; avoid nudity/explicit; safe for work.
• Clean output: no text, no watermark, clean simple background.

Copy-paste prompt starter

clean healthy skin as canvas, fine-line floral tattoo on inner forearm, ~10cm, vertical, soft daylight, clean studio background, skin texture pores slight redness, embedded in skin, avoid nudity or explicit content, not full body, tight framing on forearm, no text, no watermark, balanced composition

Workflow to iterate

1. Write placement + style + size.
2. Generate and check: does ink hug the skin curvature? Any watermark/text?
3. If framing is too wide, add “tight framing on [body part], not full body.”
4. If lines are too faint, switch to blackwork or add “higher contrast”; if too dense, add “more negative space.”
5. Add realism cues: “skin texture, pores, slight redness, natural body hair.”
6. Export the best angle, then share with your artist for needle/shading feasibility.

Common fixes

• Sensitive areas show up: restate avoid nudity/explicit; specify body part clearly; add not full body.
• Cluttered background: add clean simple background, no props.
• Floating ink: add embedded in skin, follows body curvature to anchor to skin.
