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 →Inkⓘ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.
