Creating a tattoo design is easier than ever. The AI tattoo generator transforms your concept into customised artwork with just a few words or a reference image.

Here’s how to get started with AI tattoo design:

1. Open the AI image generator in Firefly.

To get started, log in to Adobe Firefly with your Adobe ID or create a free account if you don’t have one.

2. Brainstorm AI tattoo design ideas.

Think about the symbols, words, themes or emotions you want your tattoo to express. No need to be exact — Firefly can help shape your idea. You can even bring characters to life with the character generator.

3. Add a tattoo design prompt.

Type a short description of what you want, like “sun and moon with floral accents in blackwork style.” Be as detailed or open-ended as you like. You can also upload a visual reference as a starting point, like a photo, sketch or AI art image.

4. Refine your tattoo design.

Adjust your prompt, remix outputs or explore variations to get your desired look. Iterate until it feels personal and polished.

5. Save and share your tattoo design.

Download your favourite results or share them with friends, artists or collaborators. You can always return to tweak your designs later.

Tips for creating art with a tattoo generator.

The best AI tattoo designs start with a strong concept. Whether designing for yourself or collaborating with an artist, a little clarity can go a long way. Use these tips to spark ideas, guide the AI tattoo generator and get results you’ll love.

1. Upload tattoo style references.

Upload tattoo style references like sketches, inspiring images, fonts or even other tattoos to guide the look of your design. Visual references help the AI tattoo generator better understand your intent and deliver more personalised results. It’s a quick way to get closer to your style.

Tip 2. Create your tattoo design in stages.

Great tattoo ideas evolve over time — and with Firefly, you can easily generate a tattoo design in stages. Start with a simple prompt, then explore different visuals, styles or details as you go. Try using AI art prompts to spark fresh ideas or refine your direction. Remix results and iterate until your concept is how you like it.

Tip 3. Customise your AI tattoo design prompt.

The key to a great AI tattoo design starts with a strong prompt. Be specific about what you want, including subject matter, style, mood and even colour palette. For example, “majestic dragon, fierce, red and black” will generate more tailored results than simply “dragon tattoo.” Context is king – the more you give, the more your AI-generated tattoo will match your vision.
