Subject/concept: [WHAT THE TATTOO DEPICTS] Placement: [ARM/FOREARM/BACK/CHEST/LEG/SHOULDER/WRIST/ANKLE/RIBS] Size: [SMALL 2-3 INCH/MEDIUM 4-6 INCH/LARGE 8+ INCH/FULL SLEEVE] Meaning or story: [PERSONAL SIGNIFICANCE] Create 6 tattoo style variations: **1. Traditional / Old School (American Traditional)** - Bold black outlines, limited color palette (red, green, yellow, blue) - Classic iconography and composition rules - Flat color fills, minimal shading - Banner text options - Flash sheet presentation **2. Fine Line / Single Needle** - Delicate, thin lines with no bold outlines - Minimalist approach to the subject - Subtle shading through dot work or light stippling - Clean, elegant negative space - Works best at smaller sizes **3. Japanese (Irezumi) Style** - Traditional Japanese composition rules - Wind bars, water, clouds, and background fill - Bold outlines with gradient shading (bokashi) - Color palette following traditional conventions - Flow and movement with the body **4. Geometric / Sacred Geometry** - Subject integrated with geometric patterns - Precise symmetry and mathematical relationships - Dotwork shading and mandala elements - Balance between organic subject and geometric structure - Clean, technical precision **5. Blackwork / Woodcut** - Heavy black ink, no color - Cross-hatching and parallel line shading - Inspired by medieval woodcut prints - Strong contrast and dramatic shadows - Works well at medium to large sizes **6. Watercolor Style** - Color splashes extending beyond the subject outline - Drips, splatters, and color bleeds - Light or minimal linework as skeleton - Vibrant, flowing color transitions - Artistic and painterly feel For each style: write as a complete AI generation prompt, specify black and white or color, include placement-specific composition notes (how the design wraps around the body part), and provide negative prompts to avoid photorealistic skin/body elements.
