Why this prompt works
Tattoos must read at skin scale, so the prompt asks for strong linework and clear negative space over fine shading.
A named tattoo style (fine-line, traditional, geometric) keeps the design coherent for an artist to work from.
Color noise and photographic detail are excluded because they don't translate to a stencil.
