Over the past few years, AI has entered almost every part of our lives — and our work — at an incredible speed.
At first, I was very resistant to it. I felt that it created too many illusions and blurred the line between real creation and generated imagery.
Then one day, a client showed me an AI-generated image to help explain what she had in mind.
Because my work is abstract, it can sometimes be difficult for clients to describe exactly what they are imagining. They may know what they feel, what they are drawn to, or what kind of energy they want — but putting that into precise words isn’t always easy.
That was when I realized that AI doesn’t necessarily have to be the creator. It can simply be a tool for communication, imagination and visualization.
My work is drawn and painted by hand, and every Flash comes from my own original artwork. But because the work is abstract, it can also be difficult to imagine how a piece on paper might transform once it meets the body — how it might flow with the muscles, bones, movement and natural lines of the skin.
Recently, I started using AI to place some of my favorite Flash designs onto models, simply to explore different placements and scales.
Seeing them this way was actually quite emotional for me.
It felt as if they suddenly came alive.
Brushstrokes that had existed only on paper began to move across shoulders, arms, backs and legs. Pieces I already knew so well seemed to take on another life once they met the body.
So I’d like to keep using AI to create these visual mockups — to make it easier to imagine the possibilities of each Flash on the body, and perhaps to give us another language when communicating about abstract tattoos.
All Flash, paintings and tattoo designs shown here are my original work, created by me.
AI is used ONLY to place my existing artwork onto virtual models for visualization — to explore placement, scale and overall effect. None of the artwork or tattoo designs themselves are AI-generated.
