Justine Almaraz is the visionary behind AriCléa, a Southern California-based medical tattoo artist, fine artist, and educator whose work sits at the rare intersection of clinical precision and sacred artistry. Known for her deep commitment to healing, inclusivity, and transformative results for every skin tone, Justine has become one of the most sought-after specialists in the country for clients who have been turned away elsewhere. Her signature approach combines 17 years of fine art tattoo mastery with advanced paramedical technique, delivering 3D areola restoration, scar camouflage, and artistic healing solutions that go far beyond what traditional paramedical tattooing can offer.

An LA native and self-taught artist, Alex has fallen head over heels in love with tattooing. Her style spans fine line, abstract, geometric, sketch, and organic/fluid work, executed exclusively in black and grey wash. Vegan for 8+ years and a lover of the outdoors, Alex's designs are often inspired by nature and the not-so-occasional existential crisis. She offers pre-drawn flash, custom, and freehand designs, each one a quiet conversation between the natural world and the body it will live on.

Tucked only a few blocks from Vancouver's waterfront district, Sammi Lee's private studio is bright and welcoming, with a cozy, creative vibe that feels like home. Sammi creates tattoos that blur the line between fine art and personal expression. Inspired by nature and symbolism, her work often tells a story, but sometimes it's simply about creating something beautiful and ornamental to live on your skin. For Sammi, tattooing is about honoring moments in time. She is drawn to the balance between light and dark, the eternal and the impermanent, and the way ink can hold both beauty and gravity at once. Whether it's a piece filled with deep meaning or one chosen for the joy of its form, her approach is always custom, thoughtful, and rooted in artistry. Every tattoo becomes part of your story, whether it's a symbolic marker of change or an ornamental piece that makes you feel more at home in yourself.

Katinka's tattoos are not just marks on skin; they are expressions of life in motion, abstract, minimal, and full of quiet energy. Drawing inspiration from the hidden movements of wildlife, she creates designs that feel alive, shifting with the wearer's body and spirit. Beyond tattooing, she dives into other forms of expression, photography, pottery, and more, exploring how different mediums can capture the unseen and the fleeting. For her, art is an exploration of the world's subtle rhythms, and she is always seeking new ways to bring them to light.
