Questions, answered.

How are the thirty-three styles grouped?

Six families organize linework, blackwork and ornament, traditional drawing, painterly illustration, modern experiments and lettering.

Why do the thumbnails share a subject?

Most styles use a rose for comparison. The three lettering styles use the word Forever so their letterforms can be compared.

Can I change a style after entering my idea?

Yes. Selecting another card preserves your idea and lets you adjust the optional details before generating.

Which styles work for small designs?

Minimalist, outline and micro styles offer clear starting points. All styles simplify requests under 5 cm; your artist should still assess the result.

Does a style guarantee a tattoo-ready result?

No. The examples and generated designs are references. Review composition and real-size spacing with your artist.
