To begin a project, please submit an enquiry through the booking form on the website. Include as much information as possible about your idea, placement, and approximate size. From there, Kimmi will review the enquiry and get in touch if the project feels like a good fit.

Yes. Consultations are available for clients who would like to discuss their project in more detail before booking. This is an opportunity to talk through ideas, placement, and the overall direction of the piece, as well as learn more about Kimmi’s process.

Yes. Most appointments are booked as full-day sessions. This allows the work to develop naturally without rushing the process and provides the time needed to focus fully on larger compositions.

Larger compositions such as sleeves or panel pieces are often completed across multiple full-day sessions. The exact number of sessions depends on the size, placement, and complexity of the design. Working this way allows the piece to develop gradually while maintaining balance, detail, and flow with the body.

Designs are typically developed closer to the appointment date. Because each project is created specifically for the body and placement, final adjustments are often made on the day of the session to ensure the composition fits naturally.

Kimmi specialises in colour realism and surreal compositions, often combining different elements to create balanced, large-scale pieces designed specifically for the body.

Sessions are designed to feel calm and unhurried. Clients are welcomed into a relaxed studio environment where the focus remains on the artwork and the experience of the day.

Full-day sessions include time to rest throughout the process, and refreshments and lunch are provided to keep you comfortable.

Yes. Kimmi works with clients from across the UK and internationally and also travels for guest spots and conventions throughout the year.

Most projects are priced using a full-day session rate. Larger pieces often develop across multiple sessions depending on the size and complexity of the design. Detailed pricing and booking information can be found on the Begin Your Project page.

Projects usually begin with a client’s idea or theme, which Kimmi then develops into a custom composition designed specifically for the body. A limited number of Artist’s Choice projects are also offered each year for clients who are happy to give Kimmi full creative freedom.

When planning a large tattoo, it’s important to look for an artist whose portfolio shows consistent quality, strong composition, and experience with large-scale work. Choosing an artist whose style you genuinely connect with is one of the most important factors in creating a piece you will enjoy for years to come.

Kimmi’s work primarily focuses on larger custom pieces such as sleeves and panel compositions. Smaller tattoos are taken on occasionally but are not the main focus of the work.

Clients looking for smaller projects may also be able to book with Benjamin, who works from the same studio at The Grey Heron.

Yes. A limited number of Artist’s Choice projects are available each year for clients who are happy to give Kimmi full creative freedom. Clients usually choose the placement and general size, allowing the concept and composition to develop entirely from Kimmi’s artistic direction.
