A workbench for one tattoo task
Explore a tattoo cover-up or a careful rework
Bring a clear image of the existing tattoo and choose whether to cover the motif or retain it in a rework. These two tasks need different instructions and different expectations.
Plan the next step
- Photograph the existing tattoo clearly and upload the source. Choose cover-up for a new motif over the old work, or rework to keep the recognizable motif while improving its composition.
- Describe the subject, darker areas you accept, surrounding work to preserve and approximate room for a larger design. Cover-up concepts ask for bold coverage; rework concepts ask to retain the original motif.
- Start the explicit AI request and keep the source for comparison. Bring both the source and the proposed concept to a tattoo artist for an assessment of the old ink and available space.
AI cannot inspect healed skin or guarantee that a new design will cover old ink. The concept may need more size, darker values or several sessions. Only an artist who assesses your tattoo can judge physical feasibility.
