Animated walkthrough of the Tattoo Design Generator

Choose the style, subject, colours and mood — the AI writes the prompt and the artist brief.

Step by step

Choose style & subject

Pick a Style / Aesthetic (Traditional, Japanese Irezumi, Blackwork, Realism, Watercolour, Minimalist…) and a Placement / Size, then describe the Main Subject / Motif and its optional Symbolic Meaning.

Add colours, details & mood

Choose a Colour Palette, list Additional Elements (roses, waves, cherry blossoms), set the overall Mood, and note anything to avoid. Click Generate Tattoo Design Prompt — a full-screen overlay tracks the work.

Copy the prompt & brief

You get two outputs: an Image Prompt for AI generators (with proper tattoo terminology and quality flags), and an Artist Description to hand to your tattooist. Copy whichever you need.

Image Prompt

Irezumi Koi & Waterfall Sleeve

Masterpiece Japanese Irezumi forearm sleeve tattoo, dynamic vertical composition wrapping the arm, a fierce koi fish powerfully ascending a crashing waterfall with churning waves and whitewater spray, integrated cherry blossoms and autumn maple leaves drifting through the current, vibrant full-colour palette with saturated reds, oranges, teals and golds, crisp bold black outlines, smooth gradients, rich shading, high contrast, ultra-sharp linework, clean negative space, professional tattoo execution, highly detailed, razor-sharp, no cartoon, no blur, no text

Pro tips

Match Style to the subject — a koi reads best as Japanese Irezumi, a portrait as Realism, a line motif as Minimalist / Linework.
Fill in the Symbolic Meaning — the artist description weaves the meaning in, which helps a real tattooist nail the intent.
Use the Image Prompt to preview designs in Midjourney/Flux, and take the Artist Description to your studio.
Keep negatives like no text, no cartoon — tattoo renders stay cleanest without baked-in lettering.
