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 use two letters or a different letter?

Yes. Type the letters 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. Blackwork is large solid black areas with fine white lines cut through them.

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.

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.
