What works best
Keep the likeness
Same shape, pose and markings, redrawn as tattoo linework.
Reimagine it
Still recognizable, in a new tattoo composition.
One clear subject, close up and evenly lit, gives the cleanest lines. Crop away busy backgrounds and heavy filters before you upload; the square crop in the tool helps you frame the subject.
For sketches, dark closed lines on white paper work better than faint pencil.
Keep the likeness redraws your subject as tattoo linework while keeping its shape, pose and markings, which suits pet portraits and keepsakes.
Reimagine keeps the subject recognizable but lets the design change pose and composition to fit the style you pick, such as fine line, blackwork or neo-traditional.
Every result comes as a clean design and an on-skin preview on supported placements. Add it to the Patchwork Builder next to reviewed pieces and lettering, or bring both files to your artist.
Short answers before you start.

The same as a text concept, and your 2 free concepts count here too. After that a concept pack uses credits from your plan or pack.
