Jay Smith

Specialising in Gothic Realism & Colour, Jay has 20 years of experience in the industry & his magnificent versatility blows everyone away, as he is able to work in a wide range of styles!

He originally got inspiration from his father to become a tattooist due to him being heavily tattooed. Jay is able to switch up between dark gothic format and a bright bold colour work; this contrast makes him special and successful, thanks to his experience and talent!

He would love to encourage more demonic pieces, whether it involves colour or black and grey! He loves the freedom tattooing in our studio gives him and says “Skins is hands down the best studio I have worked for in over 20 years. There’s some really great artists that help me push me to be better than I am”. He has been part of the team for over 4 years now, and we are so excited to see what’s in line for Jay as his passion and determination tells us there’s no stopping him!
