A Session & What TO Expect

Once initial contact has proceeded with either a digital consultation or an in person one over a coffee, you will have been invited to book your session & get a space saved in the diary. At this point, the design will be in my hands as I prepare to welcome you for a session in our private studio, The Grey Heron, situated in the heart of Derby.

Once you arrive on the day, you will be greeted warmly at the door by myself, before we sit down to look over the design, make any minor alterations required & begin our session. Focusing on a fun, relaxing tattoo session, there will be a selection of amenities on offer to make your time as comfortable as possible.

Revitalising Refreshments

Complimentary drinks, will be available throughout your session, so if you fancy a nice coffee from our Nespresso machine, a cup of Yorkshire tea or a blended flavoured tea or green tea from Tea Pigs, I’ve got you covered. Not to mention a selection of cold drinks to keep you refreshed, hydrated and those sugar levels balanced.

Astonishing Aftercare

Every moment of a tattoo is integral, from the preparation to the process & beyond. This is why everyone who joins me for a tattoo will be given complementary aftercare products from one of the best UK based skincare companies (YAYO).

A Home Away From Home

Relax & enjoy my little living room during consultations, when grabbing a drink or just when you fancy 5 minutes.

Flavourful Feasts

I know all too well how it feels to sit a day session or multiple in a row, so have a little break for a spot of lunch is a welcoming treat, not only for the body, but also for the mind. It is for this reason, anyone who books a Day Session with me will receive lunch, provided by any number of local restaurants delivered directly to us, so we can just relax and treat ourselves.
