If you want to measure the size of your planned tattoo, this step-by-step guide is just for you. Knowing how to correctly measure the size of your planned tattoo will help you book the correct category (online booking, phone appointment) and ensure that the tattoo artist has enough time to complete your tattoo in one session. This guide will provide you with all the information needed to measure the size of your tattoo. You will need a ruler, or a measuring tape for larger tattoos, a pen, and graph paper (ideal for irregular tattoos). Our categories are divided into
5 cm x 5 cm
7.5 cm x 7.5 cm
10 cm x 10 cm
12.5 cm x 12.5 cm
15 cm x 15 cm
17.5 cm x 17.5 cm
20 cm x 20 cm
over 20 cm x 20 cm
Using the ruler/measuring tape, start by measuring the length and width of the area you want to tattoo. If the area has an irregular shape, draw the outline of the tattoo on graph paper. Graph paper allows you to measure irregular shapes more precisely. Count the number of squares that make up the outline. For a better idea, you can fit the resulting area into an approximate square, or find the nearest square size to your measurements. You can visualize squares of 5 cm x 5 cm, 7.5 cm x 7.5 cm, or 10 cm x 10 cm, up to 20 cm x 20 cm. This will give you a better sense of the dimensions. For example, if the area is 5 cm long and 4 cm wide, the nearest square is 5 cm x 5 cm.
The accuracy of this calculation will help you estimate the costs of your planned tattoo and the time you need to reserve with the tattoo artist. It will help you book the correct category through the booking system and ensure that your tattoo artist will have enough time to complete the tattoo in one session.
