How we know

• 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 68 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: the studio’s published price list. Each tattoo’s own estimate is the tier for its measured size, narrowed by size and detail. How prices are calculated
• Ranking and listing: nobody pays to be listed or ranked. Free & independent
