One clear subject converts best
Pets, portraits, flowers, and logos work better when the photo has one main subject and a clean silhouette.
Best signal: the subject is recognizable without the background.

Result Guide
Photo-to-Tattoo Checks
These cards focus on image conversion decisions: subject clarity, simplification, and what to bring to the artist.
Simplification protects the tattoo
A tattoo adaptation should keep the emotional signal of the image while removing tiny shadows, clutter, and weak edges.
Best signal: fewer details, stronger contrast.
Bring both image and direction
The original photo preserves identity. The tattoo-style brief explains how you want it simplified for skin.
Best signal: original plus converted direction.
