What is witherbloom tattoo?
Witherbloom Tattoo is a female-run, private tattoo studio located in LaSalle, ON. Sessions are by appointment only (no walk-ins). 
The studio is currently in a soft-open phase with appointments open to a limited number of individuals. An official public opening is planned for 2024. 
How do I book an appointment?
You can request an appointment by submitting a Tattoo Request Form. 
Submissions will be reviewed within 2-3 days. You will receive an email response whether your submission is accepted, declined, or put on a waitlist. 
Be sure to familiarize yourself with our FAQ and Studio Policies before submitting a request for a tattoo. 
Will there be a consultation?
I do not hold in-person consultations, but I am glad to discuss details and answer any questions via email once your tattoo request form has been submitted. 
WHAT STYLES DO YOU offer?
I currently work exclusively in black and grey with a focus on linework, and I am interested in exploring many different art styles and subjects. 
HOW DO I CHOOSE A DESIGN? 
I am currently offering a variety of Flash (pre-made) designs which can be found on Instagram. If you'd like to claim a flash design, please include a screenshot of the design when filling in your tattoo request form. 
I am not offering custom designs at this time, but I will be in the future! 
Do you do cover-ups?
I do not offer cover-ups.
Why might a project be turned down?
1) Tattoos on the following areas will be declined: head, neck, hands, fingers, genitals, feet. 
2) Individuals with certain medical conditions might be considered too high-risk for a tattoo. 
3) I always wish to put 110% effort into every tattoo I create, so in the case that a project does not align well with my style or interests, it may be more appropriate to decline the project.

I have a medical condition, Can I still get a tattoo?
Certain medical conditions, prescription medications, and allergies may respond negatively to the process of being tattooed, or may inhibit the healing process. It is crucial to disclose this information prior to your appointment in order for your artist to ensure your comfort during the procedure, and to be able to take extra precautions if necessary. 
Why must I disclose THIS information?
The decision to not disclose medical conditions to your tattoo artist could result in complications during the application of the tattoo, or an overall poorly healed tattoo. 
If you are unsure whether your condition poses any risks, it is highly advised to speak with a medical professional to confirm whether or not being tattooed is safe for you. 
Conditions that may cause complications include, but are not limited to: 
A heart condition, Diabetes, Eczema, Psoriasis, Hemophilia, Blood-borne illnesses, 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.
Out of consideration for each client’s health, certain projects may be turned down if the artist finds the risk to the client to be too high.
Can I take painkillers?
Avoid taking NSAIDs (Advil, Ibuprofen) before your appointment. These substances thin the blood which can lead to complications during the tattoo. 
Can I use numbing cream/spray?
Numbing creams/sprays are not provided during your appointment. Please inform us prior to your appointment if you are interested in using numbing cream/spray.
