Instead of just "wolf," try "wolf howling at full moon with forest silhouette background." Specific imagery creates better artistic prompts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How detailed should my tattoo prompt be?

Include key visual elements, style preferences, size/placement, and color choices, but leave room for artist interpretation. A good prompt provides clear direction while allowing creative input from your tattoo artist.

What tattoo styles work best for different placements?

Small areas suit minimalist or simple traditional designs, medium areas work for most styles, and large areas like backs or sleeves are ideal for realistic, detailed, or complex geometric work. Consider body anatomy and natural movement.

Should I choose black & grey or color for my first tattoo?

Black & grey tattoos often age better and work well for most designs. Color adds vibrancy but requires more maintenance. Consider your lifestyle, skin tone, and long-term preferences when deciding.

How do I know if my tattoo idea will translate well?

Simple concepts with clear visual elements usually translate best. Overly complex ideas may need simplification. Discuss your prompt with a professional tattoo artist who can advise on feasibility and artistic execution.
