Bek Lillo
he/him/they/them
I've been professionally tattooing since January 2024 and founded Bek Artz LLC in August 2024.
I’ve had a crazy life so far, but it has only made me more compassionate and more grateful for my life.
I love my cat, my home, and my family and friends so much. I’m a survivor of suicide, chronic pain, chronic physical and mental health issues, and personal tragedy. I have many to thank for saving my life and I want to give back to the world through my art.
​
I'm progressive, active in politics, and advocate for the rights of myself and others and fighting misinformation and spreading awareness to social issues and change.
I am a lover of nature, I have a deep fascination with life and death, and I use art as a way of expressing emotions, feelings, my story, and interpreting the world around me.
​
I’m an Artist first, Tattoo Artist second.
​
My roots are in traditional arts; I’ve been creating art for as long as I can remember. My first priority is giving a client art that they will love on their body for life and an experience they will look back on fondly. I aspire to put passion and an artistic touch on all my custom pieces— and to bring out the personality of the client, and uniqueness to their tattoo.
As a queer, AFAB, and autistic individual; my chair is where people of all cultures, sexualities, religions, identities, and abilities should feel comfortable being and have a good experience getting a tattoo. No one should feel they are not good enough or as though they are not able to get a tattoo because of who they are or their ability.
​
We are all people and are all equal, some of us just need a little extra support or understanding to get to the same place.
​
I’ve lived all over the United States through my childhood and have been part of and witnessed all walks of life, cultures, people, and communities. I love to learn and to understand and to grow as a person. Tell me your story, your religion, your culture, your passions, some random fact you learned, I’d love to hear it!
​
If you catch me in the wild at a concert, rave, punk show, ren-fest, art fair, walking the town-don't be afraid to walk up and say hi!
Products & Services
Tattoo Consultation
Consists of a 30 minute to 1 hour appointment in the tattoo studio or over google meets where we discuss a design, placement, and pricing. This usually ends up with scheduling an appointment and paying a deposit.
Consult is free!
Custom Tattoo Design
During or after a consultation, if the client does not already have a design made, I will create a custom tattoo design or concept for the client. A deposit and drafting fee must be paid for a tattoo appointment and consistent communication between client and artist is recommended. Freehand designs are included in this service.
Tattooing
After a consultation and/or design creation, I will size the tattoo and make sure the placement is perfect at the time of the appointment. I will make a stencil and/or draw the design on the skin–then we get to tattooing! If you need extra accommodations or have any concerns prior to the appointment please message me directly.
Comissioned Artwork
Paintings, Drawings, Digital Artwork, Illustrations, Graphic Design. Paid with a half-payment up front and the other half on completion. I will only accept requests for any commission if the idea appeals to me and I have the time on top of tattooing. Fill out my Commission Request form if you are interested!
