Current Scheduling Options for Justin Nordine Tattoos
Every piece I create begins with your story. Before the needle ever touches skin, I design your tattoo by hand, shaping the imagery, color, and movement around you and the place it will live on your body. The drawing fee covers that creative process: listening to what you bring into the room, translating it into a design, and refining it until it feels true to you. It also reserves your place in my books. Once your design is ready, then the forever magic happens.

This is where structure and chaos truly dance together. Large-scale work gives me the freedom to build a full composition with depth, movement, and the layered watercolor style my work is known for. Sleeves, back pieces, thigh pieces, and other large placements allow nature, faces, animals, and abstract elements to weave into one story across your skin. I especially welcome clients who trust me with full, unrestricted creation, because that is where my most meaningful work happens. Large tattoos take four hours or more and may be completed over multiple sessions.

Medium tattoos give the design room to breathe. At this size, I can layer in more detail, soft watercolor tones, and the graphic elements that give my work its structure. These pieces often find a home on the forearm, calf, or shoulder, where there's enough space for the imagery to move with your body. Medium tattoos typically take up to four hours, and many can be completed in a single session.

Two hours or less · $150 drawing fee
Small tattoos are intimate pieces with real presence. They're often a first tattoo, a quiet reminder, or a meaningful symbol placed somewhere personal like the wrist, ankle, or collarbone. Even at this scale, I bring the same attention to color, flow, and composition that I give to every piece, so your tattoo feels like artwork rather than a sticker. Small tattoos typically take two hours or less.

Pricing Varies- $300 drawing fee · Consultation required
Every tattoo carries a story, and sometimes that story is ready for a new chapter. A cover-up is its own kind of alchemy, transforming what already exists on your skin into a piece that reflects who you are now. Every cover-up begins with a consultation over Zoom or in person, so I can see your existing tattoo, understand its size, saturation, and placement, and hear what you're hoping to leave behind. From there, I ask for full and complete artistic freedom, because choosing the right imagery, colors, and composition for what's underneath is what allows a cover-up to truly conceal rather than simply sit on top.
Please expect two or more sessions, regardless of size. Cover-ups often need multiple layers of ink, and letting your skin heal between sessions creates a cleaner, more vibrant result that lasts. To be considered, your existing tattoo must be at least five years old, since older tattoos have fully settled into the skin and give me a more stable canvas to build on.

Color is alive, and over time sun, skin, and life itself soften even the boldest pieces. Recoloring brings your tattoo back to its full vibrancy. I recolor the entire tattoo, never just patches, because freshly brightened areas won't match the faded ones around them and the piece loses its harmony. By re-saturating the whole design, every color rises together and the artwork reads as one living piece again.
Recoloring is primarily offered for tattoos I've created, since I know the colors and layers already living in your skin. I will also consider recoloring work by other artists, as long as I feel my style can shine through in the finished piece. Because every tattoo ages differently, pricing varies with the size, condition, and history of the work, and recoloring is billed at $300 per hour or less.
