The prompt

Prompt

A traditional Japanese irezumi tattoo design of a koi fish swimming upward through churning water and cascading waves, body curved in a dynamic S-shape, scales rendered as bold black outlines with selective red and gold flat fills, wave patterns in the Hokusai style framing the fish, maple leaves drifting in the current, pure black linework with limited colour, no skin, no photograph, no text, clean flash sheet presentation on cream paper --ar 3:4 --stylize 200

How to use this prompt

  1. 1

    Open the generator that matches the model and version above, and start a new image rather than editing an existing one.

  2. 2

    Set the output to 3:4 and apply the settings shown in the parameters panel — together those produced the 576 × 768 image on this page.

  3. 3

    Paste the prompt exactly as written. Changing the wording changes the image, so copy it before you edit.

  4. 4

    Generate, then change one thing at a time. The result will not be pixel-identical to the image on this page, because no seed is recorded for it.

Midjourney takes the aspect ratio as a parameter appended to the prompt rather than as a separate control, written as --ar 3:4, and --stylize followed by a number controls how far the model pushes its own aesthetic. Append both to the end of the prompt text instead of looking for fields for them.
