How accurate are the coverage estimates?

Estimates are based on average skin surface areas and standard needle groupings. Actual coverage varies with technique, skin type, and design complexity.

Does this account for different body areas?

Yes! The calculator includes anatomical location modifiers since areas like ribs or hands require different approaches than flat surfaces like the back or thigh.

Can I calculate ink usage for color vs. black and gray?

Yes! The tool includes density settings that account for color saturation requirements versus traditional black and gray work.
