8 Prompt Tips for Accurate Tattoo Generations

Follow this checklist to keep outputs clean, on-skin, and usable:

1. Style: blackwork / watercolor / fine-line / neo-traditional / minimal.
2. Placement: forearm / upper arm / shoulder blade / thigh / calf; add inner/outer/upper.
3. Lighting & background: soft daylight, clean studio background, low clutter.
4. Skin details: skin texture, pores, slight redness, embedded in skin.
5. Safety: avoid nudity, avoid explicit content, safe for work.
6. Size: medium size, balanced composition; add 8–12 cm or “palm-sized” if helpful.
7. Framing: not full body; tight framing on the tattoo area; focus on the body part.
8. Clean output: no text, no watermark, no logo, clean background.

Reusable template

clean healthy skin as canvas, [style] tattoo on [body part], ~[size], [orientation], soft daylight, clean studio background, skin texture pores slight redness, embedded in skin, avoid nudity or explicit content, not full body, tight framing on [body part], no text, no watermark, balanced composition

Iteration tips

• Shot too wide: add tight framing on [body part], not full body.
• Lines too faint: switch to blackwork or add higher contrast; if too dense, ask for more negative space.
• Background noisy: restate clean simple background, no props.
• Watermark/text appears: repeat no text, no watermark and regenerate.
