Hey, I’m Jared, better known as Softboy! I’m an artist who grew up in Barbados and now calls Toronto home. My passion for art has been with me for as long as I can remember, and it’s always been about more than just creating. It’s about sharing the process and building connections with people along the way. I studied Studio Art, and through years of exploration and taking a leap of faith to move countries, I found my calling in tattooing.

I’ve been tattooing for six years now, focusing on fine-line, ornamental, and illustrative styles. I’m drawn to the precision, flow, and storytelling these styles allow, and I love crafting tattoos that feel intentional and fun!

Most recently, I founded ISLE Tattoo, a studio built as an artist-first space and a community hub for intentional expression.
