Jessica Wilde’s tattoos range from pink flowers and blue-green waves on one arm to illustrated characters on the other. Flowers and script sit across her stomach, and a large rose-and-figure design covers part of her thigh.
The Canadian tattoo model told Naluda in 2024 that she was “awkward, romantic, and goofy.” In her tattoo tour, she also explains the personal history behind several pieces, including the way her sleeves grew and why she chose the lower-abdomen tattoo.
Pink flowers across her upper arm sleeve
A large pink, orange and purple bloom wraps over the top of Wilde’s shoulder. Smaller flowers continue down the arm, linked by dark curls and lighter channels. She said in her tattoo tour that the floral arm began as a quarter sleeve and grew into a full sleeve over time.
The blooms vary in size and color, with dark outlines separating the petals. The largest flower anchors the shoulder; the smaller ones lead toward the elbow.
Blue-green waves and flowers on her forearm
Blue-green curls take up more of the forearm, with pale edges marking each turn and pink flowers set into the darker background. The shapes wrap around the arm, so the arrangement changes as Wilde turns her wrist or raises her hand.
The flowers repeat the warmer colors from the upper arm, while the background shifts the emphasis to broad, flowing shapes. Wilde hasn’t given a private meaning for each curve; the photo shows how the color and outlines fit together.
Illustrated woman on her shoulder
On her other shoulder, an illustrated woman’s face is framed by long hair and blue-green details. The face has defined eyes, nose and lips. Wilde calls this an Alice in Wonderland-inspired sleeve and connects it to her time at the Shambhala music festival.
The photo leaves the portrait visible but covers much of the lower arm with her outfit. The full sleeve contains more than this figure, but the face gives the shoulder section a clear focal point.
Stomach flowers and lettering along her side
Pink flowers spread across Wilde’s lower abdomen, while dark cursive lettering follows the side of her torso. In her tattoo tour, she said the lower-abdomen tattoo helped camouflage scar tissue and made her feel more confident in a bathing suit. She also described the session as especially painful.
The script is partly hidden by her pose, so the full wording can’t be read. A Corinthians reference is visible beneath it. The flowers and lettering sit in separate areas, with open skin between them.
Large illustrated thigh tattoo with roses
A large rose and leaves sit above a darker illustrated design on Wilde’s outer thigh. Red and green details break up the black shading, and a separate strip of angular lines runs beside it. Her tattoo tour identifies a large side-leg piece as Mara Jade from Star Wars and mentions having it repaired.
The seated photo shows the rose and overall coverage, but her pose hides part of the character. The thigh gives this larger design room to spread out. Wilde’s tattoo tour below includes more detail about the artwork and its history.
