How to use

Want your photo as an old school tattoo design? This prompt turns your portrait into traditional flash art, with a very thick outline, a limited palette of red, mustard and navy, roses around it and a banner with text. It works in Gemini, NanoBanana and ChatGPT. 1. Choose a sharp photo of yourself, front-facing and with good light on your face. 2. Send the image in the same message where you are going to paste the prompt. 3. Paste the full JSON prompt right below your photo. 4. Ask it to preserve your features completely, applying only the tattoo style. 5. Write your own phrase in the banner inside the JSON before generating. 6. Download the art in high resolution to keep as a reference or to get tattooed. Tip: in the elements field you swap the ornaments between roses, anchors and stars, and in the palette you adjust the traditional colours to make the sheet your own.
