Getting Started with AI Studio

AI Studio has three modes: Generate, Stencil, and Preview. Open More → Studio under Gallery in your artist workspace.


Choose a mode


  1. Select Generate to create a design from a description. Enter Tattoo Description, then choose a style and any placement, size, or color settings you need.
  2. Check Number of Designs and the selected Project. The reference uploader accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP, with up to five files shown in the current form.
  3. Select Generate Design once. Wait for the result or an error before starting another request.
  4. Review the result carefully. A generated design may differ from your prompt, so check its details before using it.
  5. Use Save to open Save Designs to Project, or Export to download a copy. In the save dialog, choose the correct project and select Save to Project. Reopen the project to check that the design is there.

Create a stencil


Select Stencil, upload one reference image, and wait for the upload to finish. Choose Low, Medium, or High detail, then select Create Stencil when available.


If the reference says Failed, conversion has not started successfully. Remove the failed image and follow the error guidance. See Creating Stencils from Photos.


Preview placement


Select Preview. This mode asks for a body-part photo and a tattoo design. It includes placement, rotation, scale, opacity, and edge-blending controls.


Use a photo you have permission to upload. Review the placement and available settings before selecting Generate Preview. A preview helps discuss a design; inspect the result with your client before finalizing it.


Save your work deliberately


Generating a result and saving it to a project are separate steps in the standalone workflow. Download a copy you need to keep, and verify the project before assuming a client can see it.


If a page fails to load after saving, wait and reopen it before repeating the save. Contact support if the expected result remains missing.
