Reading 1Crescent and stars
Reading 2Moon phases
Reading 3Moon with face

Moon tattoo designs, small and personal, worn behind the ear, on a finger or the wrist, or larger down the spine. The nine sheets show a thin crescent with stars, the phases of the moon in a vertical row, and a crescent with a sleeping face. Each is drawn as traditional flash, fine line and dotwork. Type a different sky object or twist, such as a sun, and the same styles can be asked for.

Frequently asked questions

What is on the page?
Nine moon designs: a crescent with stars, the moon phases in a row and a crescent with a sleeping face, each in three styles.
Is this a design on skin?
No. Each design is a drawing on white paper, for taking to a studio or printing.
Can I ask for a sun or a different colour?
Yes. Type a different sky object or twist, such as a sun or blue ink; the result is a new drawing, not a guaranteed match.
What is the difference between the styles?
Traditional flash has bold outlines and a few accent colours. Fine line is one uniform hairline with little shading. Dotwork builds the shadows from dots.

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.
