June's Bio
June was raised in Busan, South Korea. She's been an avid illustrator and lover of art since she can remember. After one and a half years as an accountant in Seoul, June decided to turn her life upside down, move to New York, and start an artistic adventure in the US. Since then, she's attended art school at FIT, lived in almost every borough of New York City, and established herself as a renowned tattoo artist. In 2017, June moved to Los Angeles with her husband, Rob, where they opened their tattoo studio, The Fig Leaf (formerly June Jung Art).
At The Fig Leaf, June divides her time between tattooing and mentoring tattoo artists who share her passion for artful tattoos.
When she's not tattooing, June is painting. Painting is a passion of June's in its own right, and it also helps her to further develop her modern, painterly tattoo style.
