Half Day Sittings: Focused Realism for Smaller Projects
My Half Day Sittings are designed for clients seeking high-quality black and grey realism on a smaller scale. These 3-hour sessions provide a focused, private environment where we can complete simpler designs or make progress on ongoing work without the endurance required for a full day.

This time block is perfect for those who prefer shorter sessions or have specific "gap-filler" needs.
- Price: £270 per session.
- Duration: 3 Hours (Available as Morning or Afternoon slots).
- Best For: Smaller realism pieces, hand tattoos, or finishing touches on larger work.

- Session Availability: 09:30 – 12:30 or 13:30 – 16:30.
Important Requirements & Exclusions
To maintain the highest standards of realism, I have specific rules regarding what can be achieved in a 3-hour window:
- No Portraits: Half Day sittings are not suitable for portraits. The margin for error in portraiture is zero, and capturing that level of lifelike detail requires a minimum of a specialised 4-hour Portrait Sitting.
- Design Complexity: This session is reserved for simpler realism or finishing work. If your design involves high complexity or large-scale flow, I will recommend a Full Day sitting.
- The "Anti-Rushing" Policy: As with all my sessions, you are paying for a dedicated time slot. While I work efficiently, I will never compromise the quality of your tattoo to meet a clock. If the piece requires more time due to your skin type or pain tolerance, a follow-up will be required.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I book a 3-hour session for a pet portrait in Sheffield?
- No. Portraits of people or pets require a specialised 4-hour session (£350) to ensure the high-contrast detail and lifelike precision required for a perfect likeness. My 3-hour Half Day sittings are reserved for simpler A5-sized realism or finishing work.
