Publication Restricted The future of tattooing(2025) Larissa Kelly Marques Moraes; Katharina Lemke, Henrik Riess; Graphic Design and Visual Communication (BA); Berlin International University of Applied SciencesThis thesis explores the evolving relationship between artificial intel- ligence and tattooing, a practice tra- ditionally grounded in human skill, intuition, and cultural symbolism. As AI increasingly shapes creative industries, tattoo artists face new opportunities and challenges in inte- grating technology into their design and execution processes. Through a mixed-methods approach combining surveys, interviews, and speculative design, this study investigates how AI might influence tattooing between 2025 and 2035. The findings reveal cautious open- ness among tattoo artists toward AI tools that assist in the design phase, such as style variation generators and body mapping. However, strong concerns persist regarding author- ship, authenticity, and the emotional dimension of tattooing. The thesis introduces InkFlow, a speculative AI-powered design interface that supports rather than replaces the artist’s role. Word Count 5556.
