Julia Grivas began her journey as a tattoo artist in 2019, but her love of art started long before. A lifelong painter, Julia took courses at the University of Arts London and Rutgers University before the complex and challenging medium of tattooing ultimately called her away from her studies.

In her creative work, Julia explores occult, psychedelic, and botanical themes, which translate well to her favorite tattooing styles: blackwork, dotwork, and fine line.

Julia understands that getting tattooed is a profoundly personal experience and is committed to creating a comfortable environment for all her clients. Trust, respect, and fun (on both sides) are a key part of her tattooing practice.

Currently based in central New Jersey, Julia splits her time between shops in the local area. She is bloodborne pathogen certified, CPR certified, and a licensed tattoo artist through the New Jersey Department of Health.

When she’s not tattooing, you’ll find Julia at a local show, reading, or enjoying the company of her gerbil, Sir Beef Wellington.
