Provide:
1. **Main flash sheet prompt** for 8-12 related designs
2. **Three style variations**: classic flash, modern minimal, and bold blackwork
3. **Negative prompt** to avoid warped anatomy, muddy linework, fake lettering, and copyrighted imagery
4. **Composition notes** for spacing, borders, paper texture, and clean silhouettes
5. **Placement notes** for which designs suit which body areas
6. **Artist handoff checklist** for human review, stencil cleanup, cultural sensitivity, and skin-readability
7. **Tool settings** for Midjourney, DALL-E, and Stable Diffusion where useful

Keep the result as tattoo inspiration only; designs should be refined by a professional tattoo artist before use.

Tips for Best Results

  • 💡Specify line weight and shading because tattoo readability depends on them.
  • 💡Ask for isolated designs if the artist needs easier stencil cleanup.
  • 💡Avoid sacred, cultural, or copyrighted symbols unless you have context and permission.
  • 💡Treat AI output as concept art; a professional tattoo artist should adapt it for skin.
