The Tattoo Spa

Justine is just the best! She was very much in tune with my needs and understood exactly what I wanted. I got 2 tattoos from her and both time I was stunned at how accurate she was. She’s a very caring person, and makes sure you’re comfortable during your visits. Her spa is really a Spa, and nothing like any other tattoo parlors I’ve seen. It’s very comfortable, I never felt out of place in there. Its very Zen! Plus, she offers fresh herbal teas you can sip while you’re getting you’re work of art!

If you’re looking to have an amazing tattoo done, look no further because Justine is simply the best. I got two of my tattoos from Justine. Both absolutely amazing. Justine has the ability to capture my ideas for the tattoos and turn it into art. The Tattoo Spa always have an awesome vibe.

«I love the work Chris did on my eyebrows. The ladies at The Tattoo Spa are professional, yet warm and welcoming. The place was spotless (huge plus since I am a clean freak). My eyebrows look incredible! It was a little painful, but totally worth it. I highly recommend The Tattoo Spa.»

She’s honestly the best… this is my second piece I’m getting from here. She is always kind and patient. The place is amazing, its a peaceful ambiance so you don’t have to worry about people looking over your work. I’m a private person, these tattoos are for me. I don’t like people standing over me, I’m in a vulnerable position, exposed and she really makes you feel safe. So I can’t wait until my piece is finished and I can look forward to my 3^rd piece from her.

Justine is an amazing artist. This was my first tattoo and I’m so glad that she was the chosen one. It was in a very sensitive spot and I’m proudly saying it was painless and by far the most pleasant experience.
Thanks and I’ll see you in two weeks for my other ones.

This place is amazing. I’m not personally into tattoos, but my 19 year old son really wanted a tattoo of a piano keyboard on his arm before he went away to college, and I told him that he needed to go to Justine and Chris. We both went and it was so clean, relaxing, calming. I throughly enjoyed our time there. Justine first listened to my son and drew several examples for him. Then she painted a temporary tattoo on his arm so that he could «live with it» for a few days before making his final decision. When we went back, he wanted to change a couple of things, and she was happy to do so. The tattoo turned out to be a beautiful expression of my son’s love for music. Even his ultra conservative grandmother admits that it’s «nice»! You will NOT be disappointed at The Tatoo Spa.

Justine is a perfectionist and an absolute sweetheart. She listens to what you want and is very caring. She is able to translate your wants into beautiful results! Chris is also amazing as she is there to add additional feedback and support as you go through to process. The information they both provide calms anyone who may have fears about doing permanent makeup, like me. I can say with all confidence that this is the place you want to go and refer friends and family! They are wonderful. Thank you Justine for the superb care you gave and the work you provided! I LOVE MY LIPS, they have a terrific «natural» look that makes everyone think I am wear a lip gloss or lip stick. I just CAN’T say enough, thank you again!

I was very nervous when I came to see Justine, since it would be my first tattoo experience. The feeling faded away after entering the room, her environment and her personality made me feel at ease. I gave her my general idea of the tattoo that I had in mind. We both put our effort and ideas to compose a piece of art that would compliment my experience working as a hospice nurse. I am very pleased and happy with the atmosphere Justine and her mother provided as her mother knew the challenges of being a nurse. I would easily recommend them to anyone. Don’t forget to try the tea!

I came to visit Justine for eyebrow permanent makeup tattooing. What an amazing experience! Justine and her mom Christine have a beautiful suite that is very calming and bright. Justine took the time to listen to my wants and concerns. From the shape, which she lets you draw your own eyebrows, to the choice of colors. I went with a color 2 shades lighter than my hair color. She numbed the area very well which really helped! She was very patient. She kept checking the shape throughly throughout the service which made feel at ease. She definitely exceeded my expectations! Thanks Justine! I am super happy with my results!

Justine is great! I had a cover up tattoo done with her and not only did I love the end results, but Justine made the whole process great and comforting. She gave me some great information about taking care of my tattoo after. The atmosphere in the shop was great. I would definitely go back to her for another tattoo!

Justine is incredible. Incredible! I’m in the middle of my second tattoo with her, which is my eighth tattoo overall. Justine is everything that you could want in a tattoo artist. She’s kind, understanding, incredibly talented, she listens to you and puts you at ease, she’s highly professional, clean, and experienced.
1) Pre-​tattoo: Justine works with you closely and listens to what you want. She doesn’t try to pull anything pretentious or impose her vision over yours, but if you want to work with her to create a design, she will be happy to! She’s careful to get all of the details right, and to understand what parts of the tattoo matter to you and why. She will do everything she can to make the design perfect for you, and she isn’t judgmental or pretentious at all. (Initially, I chose Justine because I couldn’t find another watercolor tattoo artist in LA that didn’t sound like a complete nightmare to work with, and I am SO HAPPY that I found her!)
2) Tattoo time: Justine will make you feel welcome. She takes safety and bloodborn pathogens very seriously. All of her needles are single use and sterile, and she does the whole setup to make sure you’re as safe as possible. You can get topical lidocaine if you want (I’ve had it for one tattoo, the biggest one, and it was awesome), which makes the whole process less painful for most people. When she tattoos you she works very hard and she does incredible work! Also, her inks are vegan and super high quality.
3) After tattoo: Justine will clean you up and send you home with a surgical-​grade wound covering. She has a lot of information about how to care for your new tattoo, and she will do a free touch up after your tattoo is healed. If you need aftercare products, she sells them! If you follow her instructions, your tattoo should heal beautifully.
Like I said, I have 8 tattoos, which I’ve gotten from five different artists. After going to Justine, I don’t ever want to see anyone else! 10/​10, I send anyone that I care about to Justine!

Justine and Chris are awesome.
They do so many different kinds of styles.
Their permanent makeup and scar removal work is really impressive.
The atmosphere is really cute and I enjoyed some burning of cedar before my tattoo work to get the good juju flowing. Justine did EVERYTHING in her power to make me feel at home, comfortable and special. I had tea, a warming pillow, a tablet to play on, and I got to choose the music. THIS IS NOTHING LIKE A REGULAR TATTOO PARLOUR! That’s why go to the Tattoo Spa. Because you will be cared about and pampered and you’ll make a really cool new friend. :)
I’ve known Justine for years and we went to Otis College of Art and Design together. I can attest to the fact that she can draw anything in any style you want no problem. She also does these really cute, unique designs and painterly brush stroke work. I MEAN, YOU GUYS, SHE IS EVERYTHING. :)

My sister went to Justine a few months back to get a beautiful watercolor hummingbird tattoo and I came a few weeks ago to get a matching one on my ribs! OUCH! HOWEVER… Justine is AWESOME and uses a topical anesthesia which made the whole experience amazing! Her bedside manner is amazing and I cannot explain how happy I am with my experience and the result! She was amazing! I have told so many people about her and her adorable salon and if I ever get any more tattoos I will ABSOLUTELY be going back to her for sure! Thanks Justine!

Justine is awesome. Detail oriented, patient, and has a calming energy to her. Got a tattoo that she created with my reference and it was amazing. I worry a lot, so it helped to know she went to Otis and saw how clean her lines were.

I loved my experience with The Tattoo Spa. She is wonderful, caring and super attentive. The environment is super relaxing and sterile as well.
I definitely plan to go back for my next one.

Amazing work! Christine did a great job with my eyebrows and eyeliner. I knew I wanted to get my eyebrows tattooed but I was hesitant to do my eyeliner as it was so close to my eyeballs etc. I am glad I did, I wake up on a morning now with «makeup» on and it’s a wonderful feeling, it saves me time, and I only have to put on lipstick before leaving the house. The saying is true beauty is pain and it was not pain free but Christine was wonderful always checking on me and making sure I was okay and trying to make me as comfortable possible. The spa itself is an oasis, it is quiet, serene, and all around beautiful. I would definitely recommend Christine and Justine for anyone who is looking into getting permanent makeup as well as tattoos done.

Justine’s art is extremely unique, elegant, stunning. As soon as I saw her portfolio on her website, I knew I wanted to get one done by her (even though I was a bit nervous about getting one done by a woman… for whatever reason, I thought a man would make me feel calmer). Talking with and meeting her, I knew that there was no reason to be nervous.
Justine is a highly artistic and intuitive person, and created a holistic experience that’s much more like a ritual — magical and sacred — while still keeping the experience modern and clean. The Tattoo Spa is in a bright and clean space that is quiet and comfortable. She offers a menu of various complementary healing services (such as foot scrubs, aromatherapy, tea, and more), so that you’re comfortable. She even lets you choose the music on her iPad ;)
She’s very calm, really listens and focuses on what it is you’re looking for. It was really great to first tell her what I wanted, tell her things I liked and didn’t like, and then step back and see her step into her creative flow to create a unique tattoo for me.
I’m definitely in love with my tattoo, and when people see it, they say they’ve never seen a tattoo with such a unique style. Highly recommend, and would definitely another tattoo with her.

Absolutely loved my experience. Was my first large tattoo. Justine was accommodating from beginning to end and I absolutely loved the finished result. She walked me through, step by step. I’m planning my next tattoo already.

I was recommended The Tattoo Spa through a mutual friend while shopping around for a tattoo place and I’m so thoroughly pleased with the experience!
This was my first tattoo and I didn’t know what to expect, but Justine made sure that I was completely at ease and that the environment was friendly and welcoming. The Tattoo Spa doesn’t feel like a regular tattoo place, the atmosphere feels like a spa and a safe, comfortable place to be in with such a knowledgable woman tattooing you.
Justine talked me through the tattoo process and even served my friend and I tea before the tattoo process, something I didn’t expect! She’s knowledgable in her craft and comes from an artistic background which gave me trust in her abilities as an artist. It was such a lovely experience, and I’m in love with my result!
I’d recommend The Tattoo Spa to any of my friends looking for a tattoo, and I’d definitely come back in the future!

Thank you Justine, you doing amazing job!
Very clean tattoo spa! Magic hands! Highly recommending for people who like tattoo!
