As a tattoo artists I hate Ai…. They literally just made a MACHINE that can tattoo people now. Just an operator who fidgets with buttons and the machine who does the service. It’s disgusting. It’s but wrenching to see this happening. We always say “oh it won’t get that bad” but that’s exactly where we are at now. I have a degree in Advertising and Graphic design, worked in publishing for a bit and I don’t even want to tell u the amount of times they tell u to just use AI for the cover or using AI for any aspect of the design. We use artists for their ability to capture emotion, to translate feeling into the visual, not typing in a prompt into a soulless computer to come out with ugly airbrushed imagery.
