{ "version": "1.0", "subject": { "reference_image": "", "preserve_identity": true, "preserve_skin_tone": true, "preserve_body_part": true, "instruction": "do not change the body, the skin, the hair or the pose in the uploaded photo; only draw the tattoo on top of the skin", "area": "forearm" }, "tattoo": { "description": "antique compass with a wind rose and fern leaves around it", "style": "fineline black and gray, thin linework and soft shading", "size": "12 cm tall, running along the forearm from the elbow crease to the wrist", "position": "centered on the outer face of the forearm, following the axis of the arm" }, "realism": "the ink follows the curve of the arm and the folds of the skin, with a slight blur of recent healing at the edges of the linework", "scene": { "setting": "neutral light gray background, no objects", "action": "arm in the foreground, slightly bent, hand relaxed" }, "lighting": "diffuse window light coming from the side, no flash, so the tattoo does not shine in an artificial way", "composition": "3:4 portrait focused on the forearm, with space around it to see the proportion on the body", "quality": "photorealistic, sharp focus on the tattoo linework, natural skin texture with visible pores", "negative_prompt": "tattoo floating above the skin, perfect sticker linework, plastic skin, deformed arm, extra fingers, overly smudged ink, watermark, logo, illegible text, real tattoo artist signature" }

How to use

Upload the photo together with the JSON in the same message, in NanoBanana, in Gemini or in ChatGPT. Photograph the body part you are thinking of tattooing, with window light and no flash, filling a good part of the frame. The prompt does not touch your body or your skin: it only draws the tattoo on top, following the curve and the folds, with the slight look of recent healing that makes the simulation read as real instead of as a sticker. The four fields that matter are inside "tattoo". In "description", write the design you want, with as much detail as you can. In "style", swap in whatever fits your idea: fineline, blackwork, dotwork, watercolor, old school, tribal or lettering. "Size" and "position" are what really prevents regret, because that is where you see whether the design would actually fit. Change "area" inside "subject" to calf, ribs, shoulder or nape and generate it again to compare before you book the session.
