Write the perfect prompt for AI-generated tattoos

The more detailed your text prompt, the better the results: name the style, the size and the placement. Instead of a generic prompt like "Generate a black and white tattoo of an owl," narrow things down for better results. "Generate a black and white tattoo design with an owl and a full moon in a geometric style" will get you closer to a more realistic tattoo design.

  • Name the style: fine line, realism
  • Describe the details, not just the subject
  • Say black and grey or color
