I’m Alex Justus, the artist behind Tats By Baby. I’m a Chattanooga-based tattoo artist at The Urban Magnolia Studio, specializing in bold, playful, and nostalgic designs with a modern twist. My work blends elements of American traditional, illustrative and whimsical tattoo styles — bringing together clean lines, vibrant color, and thoughtful symbolism.

I am passionate about creating tattoos that feel personal, fun, and empowering for every client who sits in my chair. Whether it’s a custom piece, a flash design, or a spontaneous idea, I aim to make the tattoo process comfortable, accessible, and full of good energy.

When I’m not tattooing, you can usually find me spending time outside with my children and husband, collaborating on community fund raisers, and finding new ways to combine art with everyday life.

If you’re looking for a tattoo that feels like a mix of storytelling, style, and self-expression — you’re in the right place.
