A sanctuary built by a woman who never quite fit the mold. Crafted from courage, instinct, unapologetic ambition, and pure defiance: a home for the beautifully unordinary. 

 

Bloom & Blade is a private tattoo studio rooted in the space between art and healing. Specializing in black and grey realism, traditional tattooing, and paramedical tattooing, the studio was created for those who believe the body tells a story worth honouring.

​

Born from the evolution of Taste of Ink, Bloom & Blade represents growth, transformation, and reclamation. The blade symbolizes what has marked us—time, surgery, survival, heartbreak, choice. The bloom represents what grows afterward—healing, self-expression, resilience, and beauty.

​

My private studio was intentionally designed to feel warm, intimate, and restorative. More than a tattoo appointment, each session is meant to feel grounding and personal—a place where clients can slow down, feel safe, and reconnect themselves through art. Alongside tattooing, Bloom & Blade offers apothecary-inspired aftercare and curated goods from local makers, creating a space centered around ritual, community, and care.

​

Whether you come for a custom tattoo, scar camouflage, or simply the experience itself, Bloom & Blade exists to honour the relationship between the body, the story, and the healing that follows.
