What size do these print at?

Portrait A4 proportions with a white margin, the ornament centered on its axis.

Are these ready to tattoo?

They are designs, not stencils — an artist redraws the line at placement size before transferring it, matching it to the body's actual curve.

Can I get a smaller version for a collarbone?

Yes — that's what the direction field is for. Ask for it smaller or moved to a different placement and the design redraws.

What's the difference between the three weights?

Filigree is hairline scrollwork with no fill; dotwork grades its shading from stippled dots; blackwork uses solid shapes cut with negative-space lines — three weights a buyer actually chooses between.

Ornamental tattoos: a sternum piece, a thigh garter and a spine design in three weights

Ornamental tattoos — a sternum piece hung like a pendant from two fine chains, a teardrop gem at its centre and filigree wings opening either side of it, fine-line filigree ornament, hairline curls and scrollwork of even weight, every element mirrored across the middle, no fills

Ornamental tattoos read as jewelry drawn in ink, with no picture in them — placement is the point. These nine are a pendant-style sternum piece, a lace-and-bead thigh garter, and a stacked spine ornament, each drawn as fine filigree, dotwork shading, and heavy blackwork. Ask for a different placement in the same three weights.

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.
