■ Bo-Kaap, Cape Town · Tattoo & Piercing Studio
Creating work that means something — art you'll wear for the rest of your life, crafted with intention.
I'm a tattoo artist and piercer based in Bo-Kaap, Cape Town — and honestly, I couldn't imagine doing anything else.
What drives me is simple: creating work that means something. Whether it's a piece that brings peace, sparks joy, or marks a moment someone will carry forever — seeing that reaction on a client's face is what I live for.
Tattooing is a privilege. The idea that something I create will be worn on someone's skin for the rest of their life — that never gets old, and it never gets taken for granted.
My work spans black & grey realism, colour, fine line, and a range of other styles. Whatever the vision, I'm here to make it something worth wearing.
We believe that great studios are built on great people — and Jarad is exactly that.
This morning, we officially welcomed Jarad to the Flytrap family. His skill spans large-scale colour work, black & grey realism, neo-traditional illustrative pieces, and everything in between. The breadth, the precision, the soul in each piece — it speaks for itself.
At Flytrap, we invest in our artists the same way our artists invest in their clients — with intention, care, and a long view. Jarad joining us isn't just an addition to the team. It's a statement about where this studio is going.
We're looking forward to the journey ahead.

Book with Kyle →"It's a huge honour to be able to permanently mark someone with your art. The look on a client's face is exactly what makes it worth it."
Book with Julia →Every great tattoo begins with a conversation. Tell us about your vision — the meaning behind it, the placement, the scale — and we'll craft something worthy of your skin.
