💡 Size Reference Guide
- Thumbnail (~2×2cm): Very small. Fine detail is very limited. Best for minimalist designs, small symbols, or words.
- Matchbox (~4×6cm): Popular "medium small" size. Allows some detail. Works well on wrists, behind the ear, or ankle.
- Palm (~8×8cm): Good size for detailed single-element designs. Fits most placements.
- A5 (~15×21cm): Large piece. Allows real artistic complexity. Works well on forearm, calf, thigh, or chest.
- A4 (~21×30cm): Very large. Typically used for chest plates, back pieces, or thigh work.
- Half sleeve: Covers elbow to shoulder or elbow to wrist (~25×20cm wrap). Multiple sessions.
- Full sleeve: Entire arm coverage. 15–40+ hours of work across many sessions.
- Back piece: Full or partial back coverage. Can take 30–80+ hours. A serious commitment.
