STUDIO DE TATOUAGE / TATTOO STUDIO
Heartless Ink is a tattoo studio in unit 122 at 171 East Liberty Street in Toronto. Its current website advertises black and grey realism, colour realism, cover-ups, Japanese, micro realism, floral and fine line tattoos, and offers free design consultations. General navigation points to the Book Now consultation page, while the current team page names seven tattoo artists — Esteban, Danny, Daga, Daniel, Cayms, Hoscar and Tommy — each with a dedicated booking route. Older pages that remain published retain historical names, but they predate the mutually consistent current surfaces. Six operations staff are presented separately and are not counted as tattoo artists. No piercing or permanent makeup is advertised. A separate page outside the current navigation also offers in-house laser tattoo removal, which is recorded as a note rather than as a directory service.
