Fashion And Model Editing

How do I generate AI models with non-traditional features like tattoos or piercings?

Last Updated: December 10, 2025

Quick Answer

You use natural language prompting within a generative editor. While stock sites and basic AI models lean toward "perfect" or generic appearances, Nightjar allows you to inject specific character traits using text prompts (e.g., "model with a sleeve tattoo on left arm" or "model with a nose piercing"). You can also upload reference photos to "extract" a specific edgy or alternative style.

Why "Perfection" Hurts Sales

Hyper-perfect, airbrushed AI models often signal "fake" to Gen Z consumers. Brands need texture, grit, and individuality.

How to add these features seamlessly

Method A: The Prompt (Generation Phase)

When creating the image from scratch:

"A streetwear shoot of a woman with a neck tattoo wearing a [Product], urban lighting." Nightjar’s engine understands these descriptors and renders the ink naturally on the skin, respecting the curvature of the body.

Method B: In-Painting (Editing Phase)

If you already have a generated image (or a real photo) and want to add edge:

  1. Select the body part (e.g., the arm).
  2. Type: "Add a traditional floral tattoo."

The AI blends the tattoo into the skin tone, fading it slightly so it looks healed, not like a sticker on top.

Capabilities Checklist:

  • Tattoos: Blackwork, color, traditional, minimalist.
  • Piercings: Septum, ears, brows.
  • Features: Vitiligo, freckles, gap teeth, heterochromia.
