Julie Becker
AGE: 30
SHOP: Private studio, Los Angeles; East Side Ink, New York City

With a private studio in Los Angeles and guest spots at East Side Ink, in New York City, three times a year, Julie Becker gets to tattoo in very different environments. “My private studio is very personal. I do all custom work and I think it really puts people at ease to know that their time with me is only about them and not all the commotion of a tattoo shop.” And when in New York City, she can work in a studio environment, get inspired by other tattoo artists, and be part of a family that understands the art of tattooing is about growing as an artist. “I became interested in tattooing when I realized I didn't have any interest in being a graphic artist. In the late '90s, there weren't many artistic careers as creative, innovative, flexible, and rebellious. I loved the freedom of tattooing and the wonderfully established traditions.”

After learning a few basic skills from Jason Brown, Becker was trained by Kevin Quinn in a private studio. She set up shop and has been tattooing for 11 years, with nods to Filip Leu, Horiyoshi III, Andrea Elston, Patrick Conlon, and Josh Lord for inspiration. “I love to bring people's visions to life. I have a very strong sixth sense and I love to pick people's brains.” And she enjoys working one-on-one—for the most part. “After having an original custom tattoo design stolen and unpaid for by Ben Affleck, I try to avoid celebrity clients. They don't have an appreciation or respect for other artistic industries and the work that goes into what we do,” Becker says. “I suppose I won't make too many celebrity fans. That's fine with me.”
