About japanese (irezumi) tattoo
Oriental (Irezumi, traditional Japanese) is the tattoo style with the most documented history — origins in Edo period rituals (1603-1868) codified by masters like Horiyoshi III. Visual language has strict rules: Horimono composition in flow (NEVER isolated elements — always connected by clouds, wind, water), codified iconography (rising koi symbolizes overcoming, dragon represents wisdom, oni is protective demon), bold sumi-black outlines, saturated color gradients (traditional red/orange/blue), use of negative space. Oriental stencil is COMPLEX — you tattoo entire sleeve or full back as ONE composed piece. Decalker preserves sumi-line structure; you apply color with bujinsho (gradient layered) on skin.

How Decalker preserves the japanese (irezumi) linework
Use Decalker Anime style — bold line weight simulates sumi-black perfectly. For large pieces (sleeve, back), Decalker auto-resizes to 1024px longest dimension; for full piece in high resolution, generate in parts via Mix and compose in Photoshop. Traditional iconography is well-recognized by the model (koi, dragon come out with correct proportions).
Recommended Decalker style
Anime simulates calligraphic sumi-black line weight perfectly. Sketch would be too loose.
