Large-scale colour realism and Surreallism crafted with composition.

Kimmi Gayle is a tattoo artist based in Derby, UK, specialising in colour realism and surreal compositions.

Her work focuses on large-scale custom pieces designed specifically for the body, where composition and flow guide the design.

By blending different styles and elements, she develops pieces that move naturally with the body and evolve into a complete composition

Most of Kimmi’s work is
designed as panel pieces,
sleeves or multi-session compositions.

Her work combines colour realism with bold
linework and other elements to create fluidity, depth and movement.

Each piece is designed specifically for the client, developed to flow naturally with the body and form a balanced composition.

Clients are welcomed into a private studio environment where the focus of the day is simply the piece itself. There’s time to settle in, talk through the design, and make sure everything feels right before the session begins.

Breaks are taken when needed, and hot and cold refreshments are readily available throughout.

Lunch of your choosing is provided during full-day sessions so you can stay comfortable and focused throughout the process.

Music, entertainment, conversation, or quiet concentration all have their place depending on what feels best for the client on the day with noise cancelling headphones provided.

Aftercare and guidance are both provided at the end of each session to help ensure the tattoo heals well and retains its vibrancy and clarity
