Hey HN!

Over the holiday break, I built TattooPRO as a learning project to get comfortable with the new Flux models for AI image generation.

TattooPRO, lets you create professional tattoo designs in seconds.

If you have an idea for a tattoo but can't find the right design to take into your tattoo artist, generate it with our AI. TattooPRO lets you create fantastic tattoo designs in 3 easy steps.

1. Enter your tattoo idea, and describe how you want your tattoo to look. It pays to be as descriptive as possible for the best result.

2. Choose the style for your tattoo. Do you prefer minimalistic or complex, perhaps something with more color? We have a wide range of styles you want for you to choose from

3. Get your tattoo design! When you're ready, hit create then wait a moment for the tattoo generator to present you with 3 unique concepts based on the idea and style that you've chosen. You can then download the design you like.

This has been a really fun project to get up to speed with AI image generation.

If you have time, give it a go, and let me know what you think!

> but can't find the right design to take into your tattoo artist

Isn't this what talking to the artist and having them design something for you is for? They have years of practice in listening to clients describe what they want and turning them into an image that works well as a tattoo. If you're cheap they also usually have a ton of pre-made designs known as "flash".

What kind of world do you live in where someone with "artist" in their job title can't work with you to create an image?

As someone with most of my body covered, two things I would say:

1) Sometimes I just don't really know what I want. I have an area X big and most of my body is in the style of Y. AI lets me iterate hundreds of design ideas quickly. My artist books a few months out minimum. It's hard to iterate.

2) References really streamline the process. I absolutely agree that my tattoo artist is an artist, so I don't go to them and say "I want this exact thing". However, most of my (and my artists) most enjoyable tattoos have been when I come with solid references and say "this, but put your touch on it" or "here's two ideas, can you combine them into something cool?".

Thanks!

What mitigations do you employ against the high power draw of the GPUs in fossil-fueled datacentres that AI image generators use?
