If you ask Justina how she got into tattooing she will laugh and answer “with cats and dogs.” Justina worked as a veterinary technician for 5 years and during that time she tattooed her share of animals. One night, she got the idea to take the tattoo machine home and try it on herself. Keep in mind she wasn’t a rookie, Justina had been an artist her whole life and even graduated from art school so she knew what she was doing. That said I bet you can’t get her to show you the first tattoo she did without blushing. Eventually she really started getting the knack of it and pretty soon her friends were asking her to do work on them too. That’s when Justina started to study tattoo artistry and the related medical information.
Justina’s tattoo career really took a turn for the best during her travels to Paris where she met a fellow artist by the name of Philippine. This woman worked on many different mediums and tattoo’s happened to be one of them. Justina especially loved Philippine’s studio which was filled with sculptures, drawings, pictures of tattoos and hundreds of books. It encompassed everything a tattoo shop should be, in Justina’s opinion, an artists' heaven. Until meeting Philippine Justina had observed the tattoo industry to be entirely male-orientated. Artists like Philippine and Justina are replacing the traditionally bearded face of tattooing with a fresh new female style which includes class and pure hawtness!
