## Write the design brief

- **Name the motif**: Start with the object, animal, plant or symbol that matters to you.
- **Choose linework**: Mention fine-line, blackwork, dotwork, watercolor or another direction.
- **Describe placement**: Say where the concept should sit and what shape the composition needs.

## From phrase to concept

1. **Write the brief**: Keep the idea concrete and include the placement.
2. **Generate a direction**: Let the model explore composition and negative space.
3. **Refine with an artist**: Use the image as a conversation starter, not a finished stencil.

## 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

## Prompting for tattoo concepts

A useful prompt names the subject, style, size and placement. Add one sentence about the mood or meaning, then stop; too many unrelated motifs make the composition muddy.


## Simple pricing
