Bio and Affiliation
A Southern California native, Justin Wilson enlisted in the U.S. Navy at 17 and served 12 years. He graduated from SWCC Class 30 in 1999 and, in 2004, became one of the first Special Warfare Combat Crewmen selected and trained for Naval Special Warfare Development Group.
Justin began tattooing in 2003 while stationed in San Diego and quickly committed himself to the craft, tattooing throughout training trips and overseas deployments. After completing his service, he moved to Los Angeles to formally study art, earning a BFA (2015) and MFA (2017) from Otis College of Art and Design.
After tattooing internationally and earning awards in both the United States and abroad, Justin opened a private studio in San Diego. Located two blocks from the iconic Windansea Beach, the studio carries the name Windansea Tattoo.
