I'll start off saying yes, Justin is extremely difficult to get into. My response to that, isn't that what you would want from this type of artistry? I question the ability of someone that you could walk into their shop and get an appointment that day. Now as far as the skill level, artistry, professionalism, and just overall experience I don't even know where to begin, Justin was so awesome in all aspects. I'll admit, I don't have a whole lot of experience with the industry ...myself, or other artists. I've wanted to get a tattoo since I was in high school, but I waited a very long time to make sure I knew what I wanted to get, once I decided to get a tattoo, I searched through artists and their work for two years before I came across Justin's page, I wasn't going to let anyone touch me with something as permanent as a tattoo unless I felt with 100% confidence that I would not regret the quality of work, and I was not disappointed. Now, I did not get exactly what I had envisioned in my head, because Justin challenged me on my original idea and explained the reasons my idea would create an inferior product. Now some might take this as a negative, but this only reaffirmed in my mind that I made the correct decision. In the end, Justin incorporated what I originally wanted, but in his own way which made the flow of the tattoo absolutely amazing. As far as the experience itself, I couldn't have been put more at ease with the process. Justin explained everything to me regarding how the process worked, even breaking down how each needle would be used. Personally, I could sit and talk with Justin for hours, extremely interesting guy and very easy to get along with, and for anyone that knows me personally, knows I'm not exactly a person that can talk with others for very long. Overall, an amazing experience, I couldn't be happier with the tattoo I received, and I will most certainly be back for more work in the future. See More Read Less
