Justin’s kind-hearted devotion to exceeding his client’s vision results in truly well-composed, beautiful tattoos that flow organically.
From an early age, he was inspired by nature; themes of life and death, and the organic. He later discovered Salvador Dali, which brought experimental aspects to his work. His grandmother, a tattoo artist herself, introduced him to the world of tattooing - after beginning his journey in Florida, Massachusetts, and Portland, he’s settled down in Brooklyn, where he continues to shape his craft.

Who/where do you get your inspiration from?
I’d say the anxiety of deciding our first tattoo is usually high. Taking time to think over your design, making sure to find an artist who works in the style you like, and, most importantly, finding an artist that is able to help you to feel confident through the process is key.
tattoo business? My friends and family have all been very supportive of me getting into the tattoo industry. I’ve actually tattooed both of my parents, and most of my friends are people in the industry. My grandmother was a tattoo artist as well, so I guess it runs in the family.

At first, people were shocked because I myself was not heavily tattooed. But after the initial shock, it made sense to most people because I’ve always done art and drawn my whole life.
What was it that initially sparked your interest in tattooing?
I was definitely influenced by my grandmother at an early age. She was a bier and a tattooer, and I have early memories of looking at her tattoos and thinking they were the coolest things in the world. I was probably about 14 when I first had the idea of becoming a tattooer, and it has kind of stuck ever since. ✕
