Justin Winkler – Tattoo Apprentice
Justin moved from Florida to Tucson in 2003 after falling in love with the dry heat and monsoons of the Sonoran Desert. He graduated with a degree in Graphic Design in 2013 and has since been working in the field of design and drawing while rocking out to metal music and the occasional gangster rap/folk tunes.
A self proclaimed desert rat, Justin and his dog Duke spend their time hiking, backpacking, rock climbing and fishing. When he’s not in Tucson enjoying the outdoors, he’s probably in Florida getting back to his deeply Caucasian roots….. getting a sunburn.
Fascinated with the history and foundation of tattooing, Justin fought his way in the door at Art and Sol Tattoo with his impeccable floor sweeping abilities, landing himself an apprenticeship with David in 2022.

Molly Faith – Seasonal Artist
MOLLY’S BOOKS ARE CURRENTLY FULL.
SHE IS BOOKING APPOINTMENTS FOR OCTOBER OF 2023!!!
When Molly was six years old she suffered second and third degree burns on 25% of her body in a burn accident resulting in some serious scarring. A strong impression was then imprinted on her regarding the psychological and spiritual interconnectedness of the body and the stories it holds. Covering one of her scars, her first tattoo showed her the transformative and empowering gifts of tattooing.
Always an avid artist her side jobs were always face-painting at children’s parties and doing henna “tattoos” for friends.
At seventeen she was introduced to tattooing through the stories of Mike McDowell and at eighteen she began her apprenticeship at Fast Lane Tattoo. Continuing on as an artist at Fast Lane for another year and a half, Molly contributed her talents and began making a name for herself in the Tucson tattoo scene. After another year she was then invited to join Art & Sol.
Giving her clients pieces they love for a lifetime and illustrating the stories they want their bodies to tell is what inspires her. Sometimes though, a tattoo is just a tattoo!
Molly’s current rate is $150 an hour.
