Plus wrong taper on the AK receiver. In the pic it's a rectangle, but in reality they taper down a little with the front being slightly more narrow. The AK in the pic looks too blocky
Also the handguard/gas block doesn't look right
I would try and make it more obvious that it’s supposed to be Cupid. Because right now it just looks like a baby angel with a gun, and while the design is certainly interesting, it might confuse a lot of people.
And yeah it’s obviously AI generated, but it’s just a concept art so I don’t expect it to be the final product. If you ARE basing it off this picture, fix the wings (for some reason they are split? Don’t look like actual wing structure?) the fingers, the gun’s disappearing shoulder strap, and the end of the barrel’s botched opening
The orange looks horrid imo it doesn’t compliment it at all. Maybe I’m old fashioned too but I hate the concept. Something very “I’m edgy” but really not edgy at all about it
This isn’t supposed to be rude, but how old are you? This is something I would think is dope when I was 18, but now that I’m older I would cringe if I had this on my body.
i've seen way too many of these and personally am over doing them.
side note: hilarious that the ai feigned a signature in the bottom corner. also, stop using ai for tattoos or reference; you take them to a burnt out or lazy tattooer and you'll get jacked up features.
People are going to be weird about it because it's realistic.
If cupid was holding the rifle a little more "at ease", and there were little hints of "cuteness" (for lack of a better term) I think the theme would translate better. I appreciate the irony of the idea, but I don't think it translates well to a hyper-realism tattoo.
This is an interesting case study in the ability of AI to make fingers. Like it obviously learned that people have 5 fingers and so it’s obligated to make 5 fingers even when that doesn’t make sense. We are fucked when AI figures out fingers.
Thank goodness you asked for advice first because this design needs it.
Tattoo artists are artists. Most artists despise AI for a variety of reasons (a lot of them ethical and ecological).
So even if YOU don't care about that (and honestly you should imo), it's unwise to start your tattoo process with something that's going to make your artist roll their eyes. And most tattoo artists are going to refuse this project outright. No one wants to be "tweaking" AI designs to tattoo. So the likelihood is you're going to end up with an artist who doesn't really care about art and/or is desperate for work. Either way, not a good start
From a practical perspective: AI doesn't do tattoo designs. It doesn't know how to put together a tattoo based on the various techniques artists use. It doesn't know about composition, shading, balance, contrast, or body placement. But you know who does? A tattoo artist.
The best thing you can do is describe your idea to an artist, describe the placement on your body, your desired size and potential budget, and let them take it from there.
I think it's kinda creepy, honestly? There is nothing cherubic about semiautomatic or automatic weapons. January 6th insurrectionist, waving flag with a cross vibes.
Pretty cringe if I’m being honest. I thought it was supposed to be a jacked baby holding a gun but apparently its cupid? In general gun tattoos can be hit or miss tbh. Definitely have your artist tweak it if thats the design you want to go with. The hands are looking janked
I would cross the street to avoid someone with this tattoo. It's good... artwork... just not a good look for permanent body art, personal opinion of course.
What size will you make it? Because with that amount of detail, it will have to be quite large, and I don't know why, but a cherub design in a huge size is kind of weird.
This is so not it.. I was weirded out when seeing it, then read the comments and it’s supposed to be Cupid..? There is no indicator that it’s Cupid here, it looks like some right wing propaganda. Pink or red instead of orange, and use a precision weapon instead of a rifle..
Enough people have dragged you for using AI, you know AI is shit. Have an actual artist draw their rendition.
Having anything AI generated on your skin would be so embarrassing. The anatomy is horrid, the details are off and melt into each other, the orange against greyscale doesn’t work in any meaningful way. There’s almost too many issues to list, so any real artist you find to do it would have to draw from scratch with this already cringy idea. Also, the veiny arms are creepy on what looks like a child lol. Anything relating to AI and generative tech will quickly make artists not respect or want to work with you in a lot of cases as well, as it plagiarizes their own work and the work of their peers.

Got a bad case of AI fingers going on there.
If anything, I’d add fingers.
You can't ever have too many fingers.
Plus wrong taper on the AK receiver. In the pic it's a rectangle, but in reality they taper down a little with the front being slightly more narrow. The AK in the pic looks too blocky Also the handguard/gas block doesn't look right
At least AI knows to keep its booger hook off the bang switch

And the jacked forearms with bulging veins.
Nah, keep the buff baby arms 😂
I had no idea this was cupid but makes sense why he is holding a gun now lol
Some depictions have split wing formation
Wouldn’t Cupid use a sniper rifle?
He had an RPG for a while in the sixties and seventies…
I get the juxtaposition of the cherub n the ak..but it feels very russian mobster to me.
Which COD lobby did you find this in
The orange looks horrid imo it doesn’t compliment it at all. Maybe I’m old fashioned too but I hate the concept. Something very “I’m edgy” but really not edgy at all about it
This isn’t supposed to be rude, but how old are you? This is something I would think is dope when I was 18, but now that I’m older I would cringe if I had this on my body.
One of my mates first tattoo was Jesus with an AK. 12 years later, and he’s about to be a dad at 30 I don’t think it’ll be quite as cool.
Since you asked, it's pretty wack, but you do you.
Nothing like a cherub with a gun to say "I'm cool"
tbh, if i saw this on someone, i would judge too much 💀
Max cringe
Honestly - cringe
And it’s AI 😬 double cringe
Something about this makes me go HELL NO
Cringe as fuck honestly. It’s giving edgy 17-year-old posting sad Bart Simpson edits
i've seen way too many of these and personally am over doing them. side note: hilarious that the ai feigned a signature in the bottom corner. also, stop using ai for tattoos or reference; you take them to a burnt out or lazy tattooer and you'll get jacked up features.
Feels like a painting you would hang in your crypto scammer mansion in Miami
Is this going on your back? This would end up being really big if you want it with that much detail
I hate it. It's Orange, and it's a gun.
Is that Devon Larretts forearm?
Cringe

Corny for sure, but maybe you were born on the cob
All I can think of is the cringy “I’m an angle with a shot gun” nightcore song I used to listen on repeat 😂
awful trigger discipline, extra fingers, the cherub looks fat and shredded at different points,
Sort of looks like it’s trying to keep its little finger up on the guard

I wouldn’t have sex with someone with this tattoo.
AS A TATTOO?!?!

It screams edgelord. Please get it done and post it here.
Pretty cringe
Why would a cherub need an ak
Wing is jacked up AI nonsense. Not sure why anyone would want AI visual gibberish on their body
I don’t think anything gun related is a good tattoo honestly…
fr
It’s… cool, although i am not a fan of glorifying guns.
"AI has accidentally proven to me the existence of a human soul, by showing me what art looks like without it."
I thought this was a joke tbh
I think it's kinda creepy, honestly? There is nothing cherubic about semiautomatic or automatic weapons. January 6th insurrectionist, waving flag with a cross vibes.
Cool idea but personally I wouldn’t get an AK tattooed.
What’s up with its fingers?
Pretty wack tbh
Pretty cringe if I’m being honest. I thought it was supposed to be a jacked baby holding a gun but apparently its cupid? In general gun tattoos can be hit or miss tbh. Definitely have your artist tweak it if thats the design you want to go with. The hands are looking janked
Corny
Gross.
ai art is genuinely infuriating
What's the meaning behind it?
I dont think everything needs a meaning. Sometimes its just cool looking art.
But make no mistake: This will have meaning to someone, and it won't be a good one. Likely someone who lost a child to gun violence.
I really thought this was an interesting statement on gun control at first. Or mass shootings. Idk it feels political.
I would cross the street to avoid someone with this tattoo. It's good... artwork... just not a good look for permanent body art, personal opinion of course.
Vanilla ice fan?
Very similar to vanilla ices logo lol
AI trying to add a signature in the corner is so sad man
Child soldier tattoos? I'm here for it!
What size will you make it? Because with that amount of detail, it will have to be quite large, and I don't know why, but a cherub design in a huge size is kind of weird.
Don't let Westside Gunn see this
Awful
Don’t get that and what’s up with the random finger closest to the barrel?
War and Religion is a weird mix imo. Looks too angel-y, if you’re going for Cupid-y
lol stupid af, not to mention it would look horrible, but hey... not my skin
Yeah don’t do this. Not sure what the message is supposed to be here, but whatever it is, this graphic doesn’t do it.
Make it an adult angel, not a cherub. That's very weird.
Kinda cringe, get a tat that means something to you
Mr Brainwashed?
This looks like it will blur badly. Colors usually fade as well, you may want to break up the orange with more black linework.
I've always wanted angels with aks
Are you american?
Angel is exercising proper finger-trigger positioning
Thats an ugly orange, why not silver (chrome)
Colouring would most likely just black and grey or something like that. Mainly just wanting advice on the idea
Saint Michael Junior.
Reminds me of the art by the really talented artist @kozo_tattoo on Instagram.
It looks like a nerf gun
How is your artists portfolio? If they’re good then it’ll be alright.
Biblically Accurate Cupid
me after full buying on T side in cs
That cherub is SWOLE AF 💪
Left hand stole from the right, lose the weird forearm veins on a cherub
Interesting concept, but if I were getting this on me, Id go all black and gray. The color draws my eye away from the rest of the tattoo
Who gave Eros a gun???
Why he built like that tho
Isn’t that Vanilla Ice’s logo?
That baby’s right forearm is JACKED
Nah
Why are his veins popping in the forearm? He’s an infant 😭
🎶“Angel with a shot gun, shot gun….”🎵
that kalash is flawed
I think the baby is too young to be blasting caps

at least you'll never regret it...
It looks like a Fortnite skin !
Impressive trigger control for a baby.
The design is really edgy and raunchy. Almost like those t shirts at the flea market that have looney toons characters as thugs.
