Almost every tattoo enquiry I receive now includes an Al-generated image.
I actually think Al is a brilliant tool for inspiration, but it can also create unrealistic expectations of what can actually be tattooed.
One of the most common conversations I have with clients is explaining why a design needs to be a little bigger, why some details need simplifying, or why a certain placement isn’t suitable. That’s never because I want to change the idea, it’s because I want your tattoo to heal well and still look great years down the line.
My goal has always been to educate my clients, so you understand why I make these recommendations and can make an informed decision about your tattoo.
