What size do these print at?

Portrait A4 proportions with a narrow white margin, centered upright.

Are these ready to tattoo?

They are design sheets, not stencils — an artist redraws the outline and background filler at placement size before transferring it.

Can I get a different motif?

Yes. Type a new motif — a tiger, a phoenix — in the direction field and the sheet redraws in the same three finishes.

What does the outline-only version show?

The bare black line a tattooer inks before any color or wash is added — useful for seeing the composition on its own.

Japanese irezumi: a koi, a dragon and a hannya mask in three finishes

Japanese irezumi — a koi climbing a waterfall, every scale drawn separately, the water breaking into curls around its body and maple leaves falling past, traditional black-and-grey work, heavy outlines with graded grey wash in the folds and the background bars softened back

About toile

This page is a showcase: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each one shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Toile has no generation wired to this page yet — nothing here is made to order, and there is no account, no upload, nothing to buy. What you see is what exists. 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.
