Justine

Justine Almaraz is native to Los Angeles and loves working in this sunny city close to the ocean. She is an intuitive artist, painter and the pioneer of ‘intuitive tattooing' which has become the result of a very sacred vision that came to her in 2008. It was this vision that inspired her to learn the art of tattooing and to serve others with her creativity.

With an innately seeking heart, devoted to spirituality, the vision of intuitive tattooing came about during one of her deep meditations. Appearing at her feet, gazing over her was the face of Jesus guiding her to align her eyes with his. This was strange as Justine knew nothing of Jesus at the time, growing up in a primarily atheist home, spirituality and especially Jesus was not something that was promoted. The very next image she saw was an older version of herself in a wood-clad room looking out over the ocean, warm rays of sunshine lighting up dust particles through large windows. Justine was seated on the floor behind a woman, and she was tattooing her back.

THIS INTIMATE VISION...

...held the understanding that the woman was receiving a healing from Justine in the form of a tattoo. From this point on she knew it was her divine mission to learn how to tattoo and follow the visions she was shown in her mediations. Flash forward to today, she has had hundreds of clients who travel far and wide for a tattoo from her and she has even taught many of the artists at her studio.

During the quiet year of 2020...

Justine established an intuitive art course which led her to fuse her art and entrepreneurial skills to help other artists. Her mission is to assist new and emerging artists with high level mentorship and intensive programs so they can begin to thrive as divinely devoted artists using their developed gifts to serve others. The Intuitive Artists Institute is now an online art and business school for visual artists and tattooers all over the world.
