Why Handoff Examples Come After Credits
Design first
A handoff has little value before you know which visual direction you prefer. Use credits to explore the same project first.

A first tattoo, a private memorial, and a cover-up need different conversations even though all three begin in the same Studio.
Artist judgment stays central
The examples organize intent and questions. They do not promise a tattoo-ready stencil, a pain outcome, or physical feasibility.
Handoff Example Comparison
| Feature | Design | Meaning | Cover-up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starts from | A chosen visual direction | A chosen symbol and private intent | Existing ink plus a preferred direction |
| Clarifies | Keep/change notes and scale | Purpose, exact text, symbolism | Coverage constraints and acceptable scale |
| Artist decides | Line weight, placement, redraw | Readability and cultural fit | Feasibility, technique, laser question |
| What it is not | A tattoo-ready command | A guaranteed interpretation | Proof the old ink will disappear |
