How Does DermInk Work?

Start by describing the tattoo idea or uploading a reference image. Include the main subject, preferred style, body placement, composition, color direction, and any details that should be kept or avoided.

Choose a model, aspect ratio, resolution, and the number of images to generate. DermInk can create up to four options in one request.

Compare the results and select the strongest direction. A completed image can be reused as a reference for further changes. The final concept can then be downloaded and shared with a tattoo artist.
