Meet Izzy
Founder, Artist
Hi, I’m Izzy — cosmetic tattoo artist, dog mom, and founder of Inked Izzy Tattoo in Toronto.
My journey began with a pen, a sketchpad, and an early love for Sailor Moon. (Sailor Mercury, always!) Art has been my chosen medium of connecting to my myself, to others and the world since childhood.
I studied visual arts in Albania before immigrating to Canada where I eventually pursued graduate studies in philosophy, criminology, and law; followed by a career in corporate compliance. But beneath the structure, I always craved something more human, more expressive, more real.
Cosmetic tattooing became my safe space — where art meets precision, healing meets confidence, and beauty is something we co-create.
My style is inspired by the soft, natural elegance of Korean PMU techniques. I specialize in refined, detail-oriented permanent makeup tattoos that complement your features without overpowering them. Whether I’m working on brows, lip blush, or lash line enhancement, my goal is to bring harmony, subtlety, and a sense of “you, but elevated” to every healed result.
I take a trauma-informed, inclusive approach to my work — always grounded in safety, sensitivity, and respect for each person’s journey. My clients are diverse, and so are their stories. It’s an honour to hold space for each of them.
With over five years of hands-on experience, advanced training, and a deep commitment to both artistry and research, I’ve built Inked Izzy into a space that reflects who I am; intuitive, intentional, and quietly excellent.
Outside the studio, I’m grateful to share life with my amazing fiancée Jules — my grounding force, biggest cheerleader, and the person who inspires me to grow every single day. Alongside our little dog Pinot (equal parts attitude and charm!!), we’ve built a life rooted in love, intention and growth.
Thank you for being here. This work is my calling — and I can’t wait to share it with you.
