Composition:🧩 Mainly DuckⓘThe main elements of the picture in order of visual weight — what takes up most of it comes first. TatSeek’s estimate from the photo, not a measurement. How we know →Subject:🐾 Animals›🐦 Bird Size:🤏 Small (up to 10cm)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 → 😌 SimplePlacement:🦿 CalfColor:🌈 Color↕️ Vertical📏 ≈9.4 cm (7.1–12)ⓘMeasured from what’s visible in the photo — a hand, wrist, joint or limb of known average size — not taken from the studio. About ±15% when confident; it can be off when the tattoo wraps around the limb. The studio quotes the final size and price. How we know →Moodⓘ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 → 🥰 CuteInkⓘ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. How we know → 🔵 Blue 50%🟠 Orange 25%🟣 Purple 10%⚫ Black 10%DetailⓘHow much work goes into each square centimetre — line only, fill, shading or realistic texture, how dense, how many colour blends, how precise. 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.

Worked out from what is in the tattoo, not a separate opinion. A pure pattern has no subject; a style we have no name for counts as none.
