Sign in without a terminal. The first call returns a link and a code: give both to the user, who approves the code in the browser (new accounts get one free design). After the user approves, call login again. It saves the API key on this computer, and the other tools then work without a restart.

### `generate_tattoo` (~123 tokens)

- `color` (boolean): Color ink. Default: black ink.
