## Explore before you commit

- **Start with a story**: Describe the image, meaning, linework and mood you want to explore.
- **Test placement**: Generate a concept for an arm, shoulder, back, calf or another area.

## Create a tattoo concept

1. **Describe the idea**: Name the subject, style and meaning.
2. **Choose the shape**: Pick a portrait, landscape or square composition.
3. **Review variations**: Generate a few directions and save the one worth discussing.

## What is an AI image generator?

An AI image generator creates a new picture from a written description, called a prompt. Modern models also edit photos: upload an image, describe the change, and the model keeps everything you did not mention.

Tattoo AI Generator runs the model for you in the browser, with no installs, API keys or prompt engineering course required.


## How to write a good prompt

The most reliable prompts read like a short brief for a photographer or illustrator. Put the most important detail first:

- Subject: who or what the image is about
- Setting: where and when it happens
- Style: photo, watercolor, 3D render, flat illustration
- Light and color: golden hour, neon, pastel
- For edits: what to change and what must stay the same

## A concept is not a stencil

AI images help you explore composition and style. A tattoo artist still needs to redraw the concept for your body, skin, placement, line weight and safe application.
