My tattoo artist sent an AI-generated design. What now?

Many professional artists use AI for quick drafts. It is a valid tool, but you must make sure they convert the mushy AI render into a clean, safe tattoo blueprint.

Safety checks for any stencil

Before entering the studio, make sure to evaluate these foundational linework parameters:

  • Line Weights: Outlines must be clear and thick enough to sustain cell replication cycles without fading.
  • Negative Space: Skin breaks act as barriers. They prevent ink from bleeding together.
  • Layout Alignment: The drawing should follow the anatomical muscle fibers rather than looking flat.
