Address, contacts, hours, booking and prices: from the studio’s own website and its Google Business Profile, with the date each was recorded. Data sources
“What they do most”: counted from the 49 tattoos the studio published, not from how it describes itself.
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: a TatSeek estimate from local rates until the studio confirms. Each tattoo’s own estimate is the tier for its measured size, narrowed by size and detail. How prices are calculated
