Best practices
- Use a clear tattoo reference where linework and shading are easy to read.
- Upload high-resolution photos for target inputs whenever possible.
- Add concise creative direction (e.g., black-and-gray only, stronger negative space).
- Generate several variants and review them with your tattoo artist.
Common mistakes
- Blurry or heavily compressed source images with unclear details.
- Overly broad prompts with multiple conflicting styles and themes.
- Assuming one generation is final without artist-side refinement.
- Very dense micro-detail if the final tattoo size will be small.
