01 / Creative workflow

Planned first release

AI-Assisted Tattoo Design

For artists stuck between a client’s vague idea and a design that actually works as a tattoo.

For tattoo artists who design their own custom work. Learn to use AI as a creative assistant throughout the tattoo design process. From understanding client ideas and building stronger references to creating compositions and refining artwork in Procreate — without surrendering your artistic judgement.

  • Client consultation and reference creation
  • Composition and Procreate integration
  • Creative control and practical design workflows

02 / Artistic technique

In development · follows AI Design

Black & Grey Realism

For artists whose realism looks flat, muddy or loses contrast once it heals.

For apprentices and working artists who want stronger realism. Develop a deeper understanding of the artistic and technical decisions behind black-and-grey realism, from selecting references and building contrast to shading, texture, tattoo application and evaluating finished work.

  • Reference selection, contrast and shading
  • Texture and technical decisions
  • How designs translate onto skin
