The prompt

A minimal single-line tattoo design showing a horizontal sequence of moon phases — new moon, crescent, half moon, gibbous, full moon — drawn in ultra-thin black ink on a pure white background. Each moon shape is rendered only with a clean outer outline and a single inner arc; absolutely no fill, no cross-hatching, no shading, no color. The style is professional tattoo flash art suitable for a wrist placement. Spacing between moons is even. The composition is wide and horizontal, centered, with generous white space above and below.

Why it goes viral: Moon-phase tattoos dominate the 'minimalist tattoo inspo' hashtag — a clean horizontal strip suits both Reels thumbnails and carousel posts perfectly.

How to use it

Paste the prompt into Ideogram with the 'Illustration' or 'Design' style preset.
If any moon has a filled shape, re-run with 'outline only, stroke weight 1pt' appended.
Crop to the tightest bounding box around the moon row in any free image editor.
Overlay a thin caption: 'Which phase are you? 🌑🌕' to trigger comment replies.

Pro tips

Ideogram handles precise geometric repetition (the moon sequence) better than Midjourney for this style — use the 'Design' rendering mode if available.
Specify 'no fill, no shading' twice in the prompt; omitting this often results in grey tonal fills.
The 16:9 ratio makes this ideal as a Reel cover or a Pinterest pin header — maximises saves.
