The Flash register
Honolulu's Chinatown is where the classic American sailor tattoo was born in a small shop, its walls hung with sheets of flash painted in bold red, green, yellow and black. The pack puts the tattoo artist in his own shop. The flash is the palette, true red, emerald, sun-yellow, black and cream paper, in the walls' own proportions. He wears two of them, a black shirt with rolled sleeves and a red bandana in the pocket.
He stands before a wall of framed flash with the red, green and yellow designs soft behind him, sits on his stool by the barber-style chair with his forearms on his knees, and stands in the shop doorway on the Chinatown street with the old two-storey facades behind him. The light is warm from the shop window. The designs and the signs stay soft and wordless. The mood is an artist framed by his trade.
What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of a tattoo shop in Honolulu's Chinatown. The place and the wardrobe are borrowed as a setting; the photos are portraits of you, not pictures taken there.
How to photograph yourself for a tattoo artist portrait
Better source photos make better portraits. An ordinary phone photo is enough, and a few habits sharpen the likeness.
- Even, soft lightStand near a window with daylight on your face. Avoid overhead bulbs and phone flash, which flatten a face.
- Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly. No shot from below, no stretched arm.
- Face fully clearHair off the face, no sunglasses and no filters. A clear, front-facing phone photo is the best starting point.
- A relaxed, direct lookA tattoo artist's portrait should read as someone you can trust with a needle. A steady, easy expression in your source photo carries over best.
- A plain background is fineDo not worry about your own backdrop. The pack replaces it entirely.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this a real photo taken at a tattoo shop in Honolulu's Chinatown?
- No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of a tattoo shop in Honolulu's Chinatown. It is not a picture taken there.
- Will it look like a real photograph?
- Yes. Every photo is photoreal: a real-looking photograph of you in the look of a tattoo shop in Honolulu's Chinatown, not a painting or a cartoon.
- Is it right for tattoo artists and small shop owners?
- It suits tattoo artists, shop owners, illustrators and other independent makers, for a shop website, a booking page, a social profile or a press feature.
- Why red, green and yellow?
- Traditional flash is painted in a few strong colours on cream paper. The walls give the palette, and the artist wears black and red so that he stands out against them.
- Is this pack for men?
- The wardrobe and styling are cut for men, so the pack reads that way. Other packs on Narcis suit other looks.
- Will the photos look like me?
- Every photo looks like you, well photographed. If one is nearly right, say what to change, in your own words.
- Do I have to write a prompt?
- No. There is nothing to write: you pick a pack, and it is ready in seconds.
- How many photos of myself do I add?
- Between six and twenty, from different days and in different light, with your face clear. We check each one when you add it.
- What happens to the photos I add?
- They are used only to create your model, on our own servers in the European Union. They are not shared and not sold.

About narcis
Most AI photo tools put every pose, job, era, and style in one giant catalog. The photos all look like every other AI photo on the internet — a glaze over a stock face. Narcis goes the other way. One job: photos of you that look like photographs. You add at least 6 photos of yourself, and we create your AI model from them. Your photos are ready in a few hours, and we email you when they are. Then this pack and every other pack on Narcis can be made with your face. Each pack is curated against real references — paintings, photographers, places — and tested on real faces before it goes live. Built and run by one small team, on our own servers.
All images are AI-generated. By using this service, you confirm you are 18+, that any face photo you upload is your own or used with explicit consent. Full Terms
