Hyper-Realistic Metallic
& Colour Tattoos
Pushing the boundaries of permanent ink with hyper-realistic textures that challenge the senses. Explore Leanne’s signature styles.
Leanne Fate
From hyper-realistic gold foil and jewel textures to bespoke Disney and Marvel mashups, every piece here is the result of obsessive attention to detail and genuine creative freedom. Leanne's work spans colour realism, comic and cartoon infusion, and large-scale nature and floral pieces — all executed with the precision of a formally trained artist and the instinct of someone who has spent years pushing the boundaries of what's possible in permanent ink. Based at After The Storm Collective in Bishop's Stortford, she works with clients from across Hertfordshire, Essex, and the UK who are ready to hand over creative licence and receive something they've never seen before.
"I believe every client deserves complete honesty, extreme attention to detail, and a tattoo that genuinely exceeds their expectations."
FAQ
Common Questions
Everything you need to know about preparing for your session, the booking process, and Leanne's technical specialisms at After The Storm Collective.
How do I apply for a booking & what are your rates?
Applications are exclusively accepted through the booking form on this site. I review every submission personally to ensure our visions align and that I can provide the elite level of detail your piece requires. My full day rate is £700. Smaller pieces are priced individually.
Do you offer cover-ups?
Yes, I do undertake cover-ups provided they align with my specialisms. Hyper-realistic textures are often excellent for skin integration, but a consultation is elective to determine feasibility.
What styles do you specialise in?
My focus is on colour realism. My primary specialisations include ultra-realistic metallic textures (gold and chrome), jewel and crystal realism, pop-culture mashups, and botanical work.
How should I prepare for my tattoo session?
Stay well-hydrated, get plenty of rest, and eat a substantial meal before arriving. Ensure your skin is healthy and moisturised. Avoid sun exposure or tanning on the area to be tattooed in the weeks leading up to your date.
Where is your studio located?
I operate out of After The Storm Collective, a private and inclusive studio space in Bishop's Stortford, UK.
