What is Witherbloom Tattoo?
Say hi to your new tattoo artist - Elisa (that's me!) 
After 10+ years working as a graphic designer, I created Witherbloom Tattoo with a goal of offering people a tattooing experience where they could feel at ease throughout the entire process. Whether someone is seeking their first tattoo or their fifteenth, my goal as their artist is to make sure they feel heard, confident, and excited about the tattoo we’re creating together.
How do I book an appointment?
A Tattoo Request Form must be submitted before an appointment can be made. 
All details about the tattoo will be discussed via email and a deposit will be required to secure an appointment. 
Where are you located?
As of March 2025, I am located at Circles and Lines Tattoo Studio — 1305 Ottawa St, Windsor, ON. Please note that tattoos are by appointment only (no walk-ins). 
WHAT STYLES DO YOU offer?
I currently work exclusively in black and grey. A lot of my work features florals and foliage, but I am interested in exploring many different art styles and subjects!

How much will it cost?
Tattoos can vary in price depending on a number of factors including the complexity of the design, art style, size, and placement. The total cost of your tattoo will be established via email before your first appointment.
As of April 2025, our hourly artist rate is $120 for the first hour +$100 for each additional hour. 
Some tattoos are priced at a flat rate rather than hourly. 
Tipping is always appreciated, but is not mandatory.

I have a medical condition, Can I still get a tattoo?
Certain medical conditions, prescription medications, and allergies may respond negatively to the tattooing process. It is crucial to disclose this information prior to your appointment. 
If you are unsure whether your condition poses any risks, please consult a medical professional before booking. 
Conditions that may cause complications include, but are not limited to: 
A heart condition, Diabetes, Eczema, Psoriasis, Hemophilia, Severe allergies, Epilepsy, Pregnancy or nursing, 6 Months or less postpartum or post-weaning.
Medications to disclose: 
Acne medications, antibiotics, blood thinners, anti-rejection drugs.
Can I take painkillers?
Please avoid taking NSAIDs (Advil, Ibuprofen) before your appointment. These substances thin the blood which may lead to complications during the tattoo. 
Can I use numbing cream/spray?
Numbing creams/sprays are not currently provided, however, we do offer the application of Bactine which offers a relieving numbing/cooling effect.
