About the artist-esme Loasby
“Step inside the other worldly studio of Dark Bloom Collective & let your imagination run wild”
I’m so happy you are here! I welcome you into my studio and invite you to immerse yourself in the wonder filled sanctuary I’ve created. Rich colours, textures and a multitude of mediums, this space holds every soul who enters it and imprints onto every piece of art that leaves it.
Sharing my art with the world is truly such a gift, but creating for me is a necessity. Time and time again I am reminded how important my practise is, it’s there when life is overwhelming or a little too full, as a tonic, utterly grounding and I’ll always be grateful for that.
My creativity flows through many different materials and they’re all important, but it always revolves around florals. It’s a privilege to welcome clients into the space and create for them a custom tattoo, something that fits their individual body just right. I equally love weaving delicate yet resilient dried flowers together with fine golden wires into an everlasting piece of art, to remember a loved one or celebrate a joyous occasion. I’m passionate about bringing women together and sharing the studio for intimate creative gatherings, evenings filled with experimenting and exploring creativity in a non judgemental and zero pressure way, all whilst connecting with other wonderful women.
I also love to paint and dabble with my sewing machine and stitchwork, whatever brought you here, I hope you’ll stick around to enjoy the magic of my studio ✨
My offerings to you
-
Tattooing
From beginning my apprenticeship in a busy high street studio in 2006, to working in my fully registered private garden studio, I’ve found my place in the tattoo industry. Working on mainly botanical projects of all sizes, I offer a totally organic approach by drawing directly onto skin before beginning the tattoo. This allows me to work with the unique body, creating a truly bespoke piece of forever artwork for the client to leave with.

Floral Preservation
I’m obsessed with flowers of all kinds, but a dried flower brings another layer of immense beauty to life. Working with something so fragile yet resilient is awe inspiring to me and preserving flowers from special occasions, celebrations or just important moments can transport you back to that time, or remind you of an immense joy or deep love of a moment or person. It gives us the ability to feel connected to a time that has passed by and that can be invaluable.

Creative Gatherings
Bringing women together in intimate groups in the studio is such a humbling experience. I believe connection is more important than ever before and women lifting other women is a wholesome thing. We gather in the studio, drink tea, laugh and experiment freely with an array of materials with no pressure or objective and absolutely no judgement or comparison. I believe every person has creativity within them, it’s often just tucked away out of sight, but with a little patience and courage, we can find it again, and once you do, you’ll never look back!
