ChatGPT works well for placement preview when you want to compare two or three different body locations for the same design — upper arm versus forearm versus calf — and want a side-by-side view before deciding.

Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the Tattoo Designer tool:

  1. Provide the tattoo design and photos of each body area you are considering.
  2. Run placement_preview for each location option.
  3. Ask ChatGPT to compare the placements and recommend which location the design suits best.
  4. Share the comparison with your tattoo artist to confirm the final placement.

Example Prompt

Try this with ChatGPT using the Tattoo Designer tool
Use tattoo-designer to preview this floral design on three placements using these photos: inner forearm, upper arm, and shoulder. Compare how the design looks on each and recommend the placement where the composition works best.

Tips

  • Ask ChatGPT to explain what makes one placement stronger than another — body curve, visibility, design orientation.
  • Share the comparison output directly with your tattoo artist — it removes placement ambiguity from the consultation.
  • Consider placement from a visibility perspective too — some placements are visible to you daily, others only to others.
