Everyone is talking about AI-Gernated images these days. Recently an AI-generated artwork won an art competition for emerging artists - which raised a controversial discussion among the global art community. This made us think: How will AI impact the tattoo industry? With AI-Programs becoming more accessible to the public, there is a fair chance that artworks generated by algorithms will become common tattoo motives.
Driven by curiosity we have explored what´s possible and asked Midjourney´s AI to generate tattoo ideas. Midjourney is an open-source artificial intelligence program that creates images from textual descriptions. To create the images we used different prompts, from common tattoo ideas/styles to more abstract and crazy ones. The results are stunning:
Image prompt: fine line tattoo idea. black ink, detailed
Image prompt: minimalistic tattoo idea
Image prompt: neo traditional leg tattoo, drawn by da vinci
Image prompt: futuristic abstract tattoo idea
Image prompt: ignorant tattoo idea
Image prompt: full back tattoo. black ink and many details
Image prompt: futuristic palm tattoo idea
Image prompt: poseidon by salvador dali. back tattoo
Image prompt: h.g. giger style arm tattoo. aliens and dragons.
Image prompt: full body abstract fine-line tattoo
Image prompt: hyper realistic abstract back tattoo
Image prompt: contemporary tattoo, dobermann, black ink, hyper realistic
Image prompt: arm tattoo drawn by egon schille. two lovers
What do you think about the images? Can you imagine getting an AI-generated tattoo? What image prompts would you use? If you are interested in creating your own AI artwork, we suggest you visit one of the following pages: DALL-E 2, Midjourney, or Stable Diffusion.
Your own imagination is the only limitation you have. And if you generate an artwork that you really like, well, we are happy to tattoo it for you!
