How does the capability calculate tattoo time?

It uses the tattoo area, the specific body location, and a difficulty multiplier based on the chosen art style.

Can I estimate tattoos for any body part?

You can check supported areas using the get_available_locations capability. Supported locations include the arm, leg, back, chest, ribs, hand, and foot.

Does the style of the tattoo affect the estimate?

Yes. The capability uses style guidance to apply a difficulty multiplier, meaning complex styles will result in longer time estimates.

What information do I need to provide for an estimate?

You should provide the square centimeters of the tattoo, the body location, and the artistic style.

Which AI clients can use this MCP?

You can use this MCP with any compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

How accurate are these estimates?

Estimates are deterministic based on the provided area, style, and location. Use calculate_tattoo_estimate for the most precise calculation.

What body parts can I estimate for?

You can estimate for the arm, leg, back, chest, ribs, hand, and foot. Use get_available_locations to confirm the full list.

Does the style of the tattoo change the time?

Yes, different styles have different complexity weights. You can use get_style_guidance to see how a specific style affects the duration.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Tattoo Time Estimator.

01
Get style guidance
This capability provides the difficulty multiplier for a specific tattoo style. It helps your agent understand how much extra time a certain artistic approach requires.
02
Calculate tattoo estimate
This capability generates a complete breakdown of total hours, required sessions, and healing time. It uses the project area, body location, and style to build the estimate.
03
Get available locations
This capability returns a list of valid body parts you can use for your estimates. It ensures your agent only uses supported locations like the arm, back, or ribs.

Real work

What teams actually run

Pre-Tattoo Planning

A client uses the capability to figure out how many days they need to clear from their schedule for a large back piece.

Artist Consultations

An artist uses the capability to provide a data-backed estimate during a client consultation.

Style Comparison

Compare how much longer a realism piece will take compared to a traditional piece of the same size.

Recovery Management

Determine the necessary downtime for a rib tattoo to ensure proper healing before returning to work.

One connector, every AI

Tattoo Time Estimator works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Tattoo Time Estimator to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
