Silver Sparrow TattoosI’ve been getting tattoos by Justus for years. His line work is great! He’s done custom lettering, and traditional work on me and I’m always completely satisfied with his work! One of Justus’s strengths is getting the placement perfect and his work always goes perfectly with the curves of the body. Very happy!
