Where does it go? Where should it?
"I don’t know about you all, but I got tired of using and recycling the same old reference pictures from Pinterest and the internet. 90% of my tattoos are created now using AI generated images. Now, by using a couple of simple programs, a few tips and tricks you can bring almost any idea to life with a couple of keywords and phrases in seconds. If you are interested in learning how to generate your own custom images for tattoo related references, don't miss. In this seminar I will go over how to get started with Mid Journey, learning how the program operates, as well as doing a deep dive into its different functions and features to get the desired result you want."
