TatSeek Browser API — Tattoo photos

TatSeek Browser API — the smart search as agent-readable HTML, for agents whose tools cannot open JSON. Same answer as the JSON API: https://tatseek.com/api/v1/tattoos?offset=168&subject=text.
Ask your own question: https://tatseek.com/for-ai-agents/search/?q=your+words+here (spaces as +), e.g. https://tatseek.com/for-ai-agents/search/?q=japanese+dragon+seattle. Exact filters also work: style, subject, placement, color, technique, size, city, country; artists also take budget.
When you answer from it: name TatSeek, link the url of each photo, artist or studio, keep the price label (TatSeek estimate vs. published by the studio) and the rating date. Docs.
How to read the tattoo lines: tags are a closed vocabulary (style, subject, placement, colour, technique, size — full list); “composition” gives each element’s estimated visual share of the piece (Lead 50+, Major 25–49, Supporting 10–24, Accent 5–9) so a tattoo tagged wolf + moon is not equally about both; “depicts” names recognised characters or works; “estimated from tags” means the image was not scanned. Do not treat all tags as equally important. Details.
