She’s a mosaic of ink and confidence, a woman who wears her art as much as she creates it. Jessica Wilde moves through the world with a kind of self-made assurance, the kind that comes from carving out her path and leaving a trail for others to notice. Her presence is striking—whether in front of a camera, under a needle, or wielding it herself. At 36, Jessica has sculpted a career that intertwines artistry with charisma, giving her an unmistakable voice in a world where skin tells stories.
From her first plunge into the modeling world back in 2015, she’s managed to make a permanent mark. Jessica didn’t just dip her toes in—she went straight to the deep end, landing a cover feature in INKED Magazine, a coveted start for any newcomer. Her appearance there wasn’t just another pin-up pose; it was an assertion, a declaration of her style, her raw edges, and her hunger to reshape traditional beauty with her own audacious flair.
Tattooing, for Jessica, has become more than a career—it’s part ritual, part rebellion, and all passion. In 2017, she began her cosmetic tattoo apprenticeship, adding another dimension to her already thriving career. Now she not only bears intricate designs but also crafts them for others, translating what’s inside onto the outside. She doesn’t hold back with her own body as a canvas, nor with others’, treating skin like a living, breathing parchment to showcase bold designs and whispers of her clients’ own stories. Her work speaks of her precision and imagination, and her steady Instagram following—now over 850,000—shows she has an audience captivated by her art and her fearless approach to it.
Jessica’s knack for connection extends beyond ink and photos. For a time, she penned a column in INKED Magazine, charmingly named “Wilde About Sex.” It wasn’t your typical advice column, nor was it crafted with an air of buttoned-up expertise. Jessica spoke directly to her readers, giving frank advice without losing her humor, her bite, or her personal touch. Her words gave readers a peek into her perspective, a bold and unapologetic one, colored with humor and underscored by a sensitivity toward human experience that perhaps only someone in her line of work could truly understand. After all, she’s spent years listening to people’s stories as she inks their skin, understanding both the motivations and hesitations of those who choose to mark themselves.
Beyond her professional persona, there’s Jessica the person—a Canadian woman whose life is still deeply intertwined with her roots, even if her reach has extended far beyond them. She’s shared snapshots of her life with her loyal fans on Instagram, from glamorous shoots to quiet moments with her dog, Sophie. Sophie’s presence on her profile feels like more than just a token “pet picture.” There’s a real connection there, a softness in her interactions with the little dog that reveals a different side of her: a caretaker, a friend, a woman who, amid the high-octane energy of her life, finds genuine joy in small, comforting moments.
Jessica has carved out a distinct place for herself within the tattoo community—a place that’s as much about talent as it is about personality. She’s admired by other artists like Curt Montgomery, a fellow Canadian tattoo artist, known for his sharp, minimalistic style. Where Montgomery’s work speaks of subtlety and precision, Jessica’s voice is louder, brasher, full of vibrant energy. They both share the discipline of ink, but Jessica has her own kind of electricity, a commitment to her authenticity that her followers can feel in every image, every line of advice, every flash of skin inked with her unique designs.
Some might say Jessica’s sign—Virgo—lends her a touch of perfectionism, and it shows in her meticulous attention to detail. Her tattoos are well-crafted, each line a testament to her steady hand and practiced eye. But it’s not just the ink that draws people to her; it’s her ability to make the art look effortless, to make the boldness seem natural. She’s not one to follow a pre-planned route; her career is her own creation, and each new venture—whether it’s modeling, tattooing, or advice-giving—seems to be another stroke in a masterpiece that’s still unfolding.
At the core of Jessica’s appeal is the fact that she’s real. She’s built her success on raw ambition, hard work, and a resilience that people can sense even from afar. Her life isn’t polished to perfection but has the kind of grit that draws people in. She’s a tattooed wonder, a woman whose inked arms and candid words have woven her into the lives of those who follow her.
Jessica Wilde is an artist with a story still being written, and, as her followers know well, it’s not one that’s likely to be confined to a single canvas or medium. With every post, every piece of advice, every new creation, she’s crafting a life as bold and indelible as her ink.
