  • I was looking for an artist who did black work to cover up an old tattoo that no longer resonated with me. I found Josaline through Instagram and loved her work. She is an amazing artist and a lovely person. She not only designed a brilliant tattoo for me but also helped me through two full days of being tattooed. If you're looking for a highly skilled black work artist who takes care of their clients, Josaline is your person!

  • I had such a great experience with Josaline, I'm already looking forward to working with her again! She made sure I was comfortable and all my needs were addressed, worked super quickly and precisely so the results were incredibly clean. Not to mention, her art style sets her apart from so many tattooers - her work captures the exact cyber/futuristic/abstract vibe I've been looking for and I'm so excited to have found her!

  • My partner and I have gotten six tattoos between us done by Josaline. Needless to say, we are huge fans of her work and I couldn't recommend her more (I made a point to recommend her to everybody I knew who was even remotely interested in getting a tattoo). Every tattoo is flawless and she was very active in the design process, offering suggestions that made the final pieces even better than we envisioned. We both also have custom designs of hers that we love, as her style is impeccable.

  • I absolutely love every tattoo that Josaline Green has tattooed upon me. She makes an effort to meet me where I’m at and understand/capture the vibe of what I want. On top of that, she’s the coolest person you could ever want to spend hours with while getting a piece done. From my first appoint with her, Josie made me feel so at ease and delivered incredible results.
