How we know

• Styles, subjects, placements, colour, size and detail: counted from this artist’s 14 published tattoos on TatSeek, not from a self-description.
• Tattoo descriptions and tags: TatSeek Vision Scan, an AI reading of each photo (Claude, by Anthropic) under written rules and a closed tag vocabulary, checked against photos labelled by hand. Shares of the picture are visual estimates, not measurements. Nothing about the person in the photo is recorded. How tagging works
• Prices: the studio’s price list (published or confirmed by the studio). Each tattoo’s estimate is the tier for its measured size, narrowed by size and detail. How prices are calculated
