JUSTINE ALMARAZ

Welcome to Her Ink Empire—a podcast where we’re redefining what’s possible in tattoo education and creative entrepreneurship. I’m Justine Almaraz, a fine artist, tattooer, educator, and the founder of Earth Altar Tattoo Studio. Over the years, I’ve dedicated my career to creating a more intentional, inclusive, and soulful space in the tattoo industry, blending artistic mastery with a deep commitment to healing and creative expression.


With over a decade of experience in tattooing and fine art, I’ve had the honor of being featured in Ink Fashion Magazine, ELLE, and Well + Good, where I’ve shared my perspective on art, sustainability, and the emotional connection between artists and clients. I’ve worked hard to create a premium, heart-centered tattoo experience at Earth Altar Studio, where tattoos are not just about aesthetics—they’re about transformation.


In 2016, I founded Earth Altar Studio as an inclusive, safe haven for both artists and clients. My mission is rooted in the belief that tattoos are powerful tools for self-expression, healing, and connection. Whether through creating meaningful art on the skin or guiding new tattoo artists through their journey, I am committed to elevating the industry with practices that honor individuality, creativity, and the sacredness of body art.


But my passion doesn’t stop at tattooing. After overcoming the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, I reimagined Earth Altar Studio as a training and mentorship space for aspiring tattoo artists. In my programs, I merge technical skill with meaningful intention, empowering the next generation of tattoo artists to honor the emotional and energetic connection between themselves and their clients.


As a pioneer in intuitive paramedical tattooing, including scar camouflage and artistic scar blending, I take pride in offering healing through art. Each piece I create aims to resonate with the soul’s truest essence, bringing a sense of wholeness and renewal to those who seek it.


In Her Ink Empire, I’ll share my journey, lessons, and insights with you. Whether you’re just starting in the industry, looking to elevate your craft, or dreaming of creating your own artistic empire, this podcast is for you. You’ll hear from industry leaders, successful tattoo artists, and creative entrepreneurs who are reshaping the world of tattooing. Additionally, I’ll be sharing intimate stories from my tattoo and art collectors, giving you a glimpse into the personal connections and meaningful experiences that tattoos can create.
