Are these tattoos on skin?

No. Each design is a flat drawing on white paper, made to read as a tattoo design, not a photograph of a body.

Can I ask for a different animal?

Yes. Type it in the direction field. The drawing follows the request as a starting point, not a promised result.

How do the three styles differ?

Fine line is a single hairline with no shading. Traditional uses bold black outlines with flat red, yellow and green fills. Dotwork is built from small dots.

Can a tattoo artist work from these?

Yes. Clean line art on white is a common starting point, and a studio adjusts the size and placement for the skin.

Reading 2Moon and symbol

Reading 3Crab in a shell

Tattoo designs for people born under Cancer, the moon-ruled crab, who want a tattoo for their sign. The three designs are a crab seen from above with raised claws, a crescent moon cradling the Cancer symbol, and a hermit crab peeking out of a spiral shell. Each comes in fine line, traditional and dotwork, drawn flat on white paper. Type a different animal, such as an owl, and the same styles carry it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
