Book in with Leanne Fate - Colour realism tattoo artist in Bishop's Stortford.

My day rate is £700 for a full day session, which typically runs between 6 and 8 hours depending on the complexity of the piece.

Yes. A non-refundable deposit of £100 is required to secure your booking date. This is deducted from the total cost of your session. Your date is not confirmed until the deposit has been received. Deposits are non-refundable if you cancel, but can be transferred to a new date once, provided you give at least 4 weeks' notice.

The first step is to fill in the booking application form on this page. I review all applications and will respond within 48 hours. If your project is a good fit, I will be in touch to discuss the concept further and arrange your deposit payment. Please note that completing the form does not guarantee a booking - I take on a limited number of projects to ensure every piece receives the attention it deserves.

I offer consultations for cover-up work or for clients who need additional reassurance before committing to a booking. For most projects, a detailed conversation via email or message is sufficient to align on the concept before your session. All consultation details are discussed during the application process.

General availability is typically around 3 months. Saturday sessions are in particularly high demand and are usually booked 4–6 months in advance. If you have a specific date in mind — for example, a birthday or anniversary — I would recommend applying as early as possible.

Full written aftercare guidance is provided at the end of every session. Please follow the aftercare instructions carefully — the quality of a healed tattoo is a partnership between the artist and the client. I put everything I have into the work; the aftercare is your part of the deal.
