STUDIO DE TATOUAGE / TATTOO STUDIO
ISLE Tattoo Studio is an appointment-only tattoo studio at 600 Queen St E in Toronto, Ontario, founded by the artist Softboy (Jared). Its about page states the name stands for Intentional Space for Lasting Expression. The current site names eight resident tattoo artists who each book independently: Fabian, Hana, Jade, Jazz, Kai, Yna, Softboy and Yuka. Between them the studio's own pages describe fine line, floral, geometric, lettering, realism, micro-realism, illustrative, ornamental, surrealism, hand-poked, colour and neo-traditional work. The studio also rents stations to experienced tattoo artists and advertises no piercing or other body-modification service.

CREATIVE CONNECTIONS

Fabián is named on ISLE Tattoo Studio's current roster as one of its resident tattoo artists and has his own profile page on the studio site. That page states in his own words that the styles he works with most are realism, fine line, florals and lettering, and the studio's booking hub additionally lists geometric work for him. He takes requests through his own booking form.
Toronto · ON
Hana is named on ISLE Tattoo Studio's current roster as one of its resident tattoo artists and has her own profile page on the studio site. She describes her work there as abstract and nature-based forms and lines of all kinds, and mentions a recent interest in larger-scale projects. None of that wording maps to the project's controlled style vocabulary, so no style is claimed for her. She takes requests through a dedicated booking form.
Toronto · ON
Jade is named on ISLE Tattoo Studio's current roster as one of its resident tattoo artists and has her own profile page on the studio site, which introduces her as a tattooist from Toronto. That page states she specialises in microrealism, fine-line and etching styles and draws on Art Nouveau and romantic art periods with dark themes. The studio's booking hub repeats the same three specialisms. She books through her own scheduling page.

Jazz is named on ISLE Tattoo Studio's current roster as one of its resident tattoo artists and has her own profile page on the studio site, which describes her as a Barbadian-Canadian tattoo artist and illustrator based in Toronto. That page states she specialises in fine-line, illustrative tattoos focused on ornamental detail, florals and celestial motifs. The studio roster records that she now uses the handle dreamgirltattoos, formerly ugly.tatts, and she books through her own scheduling page.
Toronto · ON
Kai is named on ISLE Tattoo Studio's current roster as one of its resident tattoo artists and has her own profile page on the studio site, which introduces her as a Toronto-based tattoo artist. That page states her work leans primarily towards larger-scale realism, abstract and surrealism, and line work, with touches of traditional art. The studio's booking hub sends enquiries for her to her professional Instagram profile.
Toronto · ON
SOFTBOY, whose given name Jared is used for his profile slug, founded ISLE Tattoo Studio and is listed on its current roster as a resident tattoo artist. His studio profile describes the studio as an artist-first space and community hub and states that he focuses on fine-line, ornamental and illustrative styles. His own site, softboy.ca, repeats the fine-line and ornamental focus alongside original illustrations and custom commissions, and carries his booking and contact details.
Toronto · ON
Yna is named on ISLE Tattoo Studio's current roster as one of its resident tattoo artists and has her own profile page on the studio site. That page states she works on fully custom traditional Filipino markings, patterns and Baybayin, which it describes as the traditional Filipino script, and that she offers both hand-poked and machine tattoos. The Baybayin script work is what is recorded here as lettering; her traditional Filipino markings are left unmapped rather than forced into a broader category. She books through her own request form.
Toronto · ON
Yuka is named on ISLE Tattoo Studio's current roster as one of its resident tattoo artists and has her own profile page on the studio site, where she states that her work is rooted in neo-traditional tattooing and draws on the visual traditions of Asia. The studio's booking hub adds colour work to her line. The broader Asian-inspired reference is not treated here as an explicit Japanese-style claim. The studio sends enquiries for her to her professional Instagram profile.
