JESSICA WILDE IS A WOMAN YOU WANT TO WEAR PROUDLY.

With the recent release of her new book, Wilde is an inspiration- showing the world how she transformed into a badass woman out of necessity and became a social media celebrity.

The book titled, GOING WILDE: How I Became The Woman I Was Meant To Be by Creating The Woman I Am Not, draws from true stories of her past and how that turned into remarkable success. Within the book, Wilde “explores the toxic nature of social media and reveals that true happiness lies far beyond the ‘like’ button.” The truth is, Wilde would endure a long and difficult journey to discover and define the real woman behind her social media identity.

This remarkably candid memoir follows Wilde’s thoughtful struggles to untangle social media’s jungle of destructive illusions and embrace her own authentic identity. It serves as a damning cautionary tale for anyone creating a digital façade on sites from Facebook, to Instagram, to LinkedIn.

Since then, this new tattoo style has become increasingly refined and extremely popular. As it now stands, you can find jaw-dropping color and black and grey portraits of pretty much any celebrity you can think of as well as realistic depictions of nature and just about anything else imaginable, even the surreal.
