Size:✋ Medium (10-20cm)Complexity:ⓘHow detailed the piece is, separate from its size. More detail means more hours, so it moves the price as much as size does. How we know → 🤨 MediumColor:🌈 Color⬛ SquareMoodⓘHow the piece feels — cute, dark, fierce, romantic… Read from what it shows and how it’s drawn: the same character can be fierce in realism and funny in a cartoon style. An estimate, not the artist’s label. How we know → 😄 FunnyInkⓘThe ink colours in this tattoo and roughly how much of the inked area each takes, read from the photo. Only colours we are fairly sure of; glare and bare skin are not counted as white.

It does not depend on size: a small realistic rose and a big one have the same detail. Detail and size together drive the time and the price.
