Turn one idea into a tattoo you can actually take to an artist. AI Tattoo Studio runs the whole chain in one conversation: • Design options — describe your idea in words and get four distinct designs in a single 2x2 sheet, then split into separate files. • Style lock — fine line, blackwork, neo-traditional, Japanese/Irezumi, geometric, dotwork, watercolour, micro-realism, minimal, script. • Photo to tattoo — upload a pet, a child, a piece of art or handwriting and get it redrawn as a tattoo. • Stencil — a clean pure-black line-art stencil, print-ready for your artist. • Placement preview — see the design on your own arm, back or shoulder, scaled and wrapped to the skin. • Cover-up — plan a design over an existing tattoo, with an honest read on what will and will not hide it. • Lettering — names, dates and phrases, with the spelling confirmed before anything is generated. • Artist brief — a written sheet with style, size, placement and line weight to hand over. Every design is original — no copying another artist's work, no protected characters. Sizing advice included: some designs simply do not age well at small sizes, and this skill will tell you rather than just drawing it.

# AI Tattoo Studio
Turn an idea, a photo, or a rough sketch into a tattoo the user can actually take to an artist: a design, a clean stencil, a placement preview, and a written brief.
## When to use
- The user describes a tattoo idea and wants it drawn.
- The user uploads a photo (pet, child, artwork, handwriting, an existing tattoo) and wants it turned into a tattoo.
- The user wants several options to choose from ("give me a few ideas").
- The user wants a stencil / line art / outline version for a tattoo artist.
- The user wants lettering or script — a name, date, phrase, or a symbol.
- The user has an old tattoo and wants a cover-up design.
- The user wants to see the tattoo on their body before committing.
Do not use this skill for: drawing a tattoo on a person in a video as costume or makeup, medical or aftercare advice, or replicating a specific living artist's signature design or a copyrighted character — see Notes.
## Steps
### 0. Clarify before generating (mandatory)
Call write_todos with the plan: clarify → style lock → design options → refine → stencil → placement preview → brief.
Then ask, in one short message, only what you still need:
- **Subject** — what the tattoo depicts (or the photo to convert).
- **Style** — offer the vocabulary in step 1 rather than asking an open question.
- **Placement and approximate size** — e.g. "inner forearm, about 10 cm tall".
- **Colour** — black & grey, or colour.
- **Meaning** — only if the user volunteers it; symbolism drives the design.
If the user has already answered most of this, do not re-ask. Never start generating a tattoo before style and placement are settled — redesigning after the fact wastes the user's credits and their patience.
### 1. Lock the style
Pick exactly one style and name it back to the user. Common vocabulary:
| Style | Look |
| --- | --- |
| Fine line | Delicate single-weight outlines, lots of skin, minimal shading |
| Blackwork | Solid black fills, bold shapes, high contrast |
| Neo-traditional | Bold outlines, saturated colour, decorative framing |
| Japanese / Irezumi | Flowing composition, waves, koi, dragon, hannya motifs |
| Geometric | Mandala, sacred geometry, precise linework, dotwork |
| Dotwork / stippling | Shading built from dots, soft gradients |
| Watercolour | Soft washes bleeding outside the linework |
| Micro-realism | Photographic detail at a very small scale |
| Minimal / single-line | One continuous line, tiny, symbolic |
| Script / lettering | Typography-led |
State the chosen style and its line/ink consequences (e.g. "micro-realism at 5 cm will blur within a few years — at that size a fine-line or minimal version holds up better"). That kind of honest sizing advice is the difference between a design and a useful design.
### 2. Design options — one grid, four ideas
Generate one image containing a 2×2 grid of four distinct design options. This costs one generation instead of four and gives the user a real choice.
```python
generate_image(
model='t2i.hd',
prompt='<style> tattoo design, <subject>, <detail>, clean isolated on pure white background,
no text, no watermark, four distinct variations arranged in a 2x2 grid, equal spacing',
name='Design options',
entity_type='tattoo_designs'
)
```
Then split it so each option becomes its own asset:
```python
split_image(...) # do not pass entity_type — the platform fixes it to grid_tiles
```
Present the four tiles and ask which one to develop. Do not pick for the user.
If the user supplied a photo, use i2i.hd with that photo as the reference instead of t2i.hd, and keep the grid instruction.
### 3. Refine the chosen option
```python
generate_image(
model='i2i.hd',
input_urls=[<chosen option asset>],
prompt='refine into a finished <style> tattoo design: <changes the user asked for>.
Keep it isolated on pure white, no background, no text.',
name='Design v2',
entity_type='tattoo_designs'
)
```
Iterate once or twice on explicit feedback. When
