"Give me a piece of your skin & I'll give you part of my soul"

My work is known globally for it's unmistakable style — a fusion of painterly surrealism with bold graphic elements. Every piece I create carries a distinct energy, blending fine art techniques with the structure and flow of tattooing. It's a visual language I’ve developed over years, where emotion, art, and design collide to form something both impactful and timeless.

Meet Jay Freestyle

Jay Freestyle is a world-renowned tattoo artist and painter based in Canada. Born and raised in South Africa within a traditional Chinese household, Jay defied convention to follow a lifelong passion for artistic freedom. That journey has taken him across the globe and into the upper ranks of contemporary tattoo art.

Known for his distinctive large-scale compositions, Jay creates each piece with careful intention and flow, designed specifically to fit the client’s body and story. His work blends elements of watercolor, geometry, realism, abstraction, and pointillism, resulting in powerful visual narratives that feel both timeless and deeply personal.

Over the years, Jay has built a brand rooted in trust. Clients come to him not with specific requests, but with openness. They give him full creative freedom, knowing they’ll leave with something one of a kind. He’s the ideal artist for those who want more than just a tattoo — they want to invest in living art on their body.

With over 90 international awards, Jay’s work has received global acclaim. He is one of the rare few to be honored by the Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome (MACRO), helping to elevate tattooing into the realm of fine art. Through seminars and masterclasses taught worldwide, he continues to mentor the next generation of visionary artists.

Jay’s clientele spans the globe. Many travel internationally to work with him, drawn not only by his artistry but by the transformative experience he offers.

Today, he works exclusively with those who seek more than just a tattoo. They seek transformation. His pieces are bold, intimate, and permanent testaments to personal evolution.

“I don’t create for everyone. I create for those who want to be remembered.”
