Josaline indicates her current available dates on her Instagram profile and in her booking form, as well.

Josaline offers two options for showing designs.

First option is that you are shown 2-4 rendered version of the design on the day of our first appointment together.

The second option is a Collaborative Design Session. These sessions show various sketches of your design and are done between 2-4 weeks prior to your first appointment at a rate of $150/hr.

If on the day of our first appointment, you need modifications and redrawing the design should take longer than our ability to comfortably tattoo on the day of you appointment, we will reschedule for another day. At this point we will require a new deposit to rechedule the appointment.

Should you not like the design, it will not be found offensive in any way. Josaline’s goal is to make something inspirational to us both and will not take offense if you choose not to get the design tattooed.

Your consultation is a time where we can discuss your ideas for your new tattoo. Together we can discuss style, placement, size, and execution of your design. It is encouraged that you provide any reference photos for your ideas in an email format, so they may be added to your design file. In order to book an appointment after your consultation, a deposit will be required

A deposit is used to reserve your tattoo appointment. Deposits are an important part of the design process and enable me to dedicate time towards your drawing. This deposit is non-refundable and will be deducted from the full-price of your last tattoo session.

As part of deposit policy, you may forfeit your deposit if: you reschedule your appointment more than twice, are in excess of half an hour late to your given appointment, or fail to reschedule 48 hours prior to your appointment.

Gladly! Josaline feels as though the power of tattooing comes from its transformative properties and reworking/working over older tattoos is a big part of how we grow and change.

She does require that clients understand the limitations and difficulties associated with this added complication, though, and will explain the inherent limitations during our consultation.

Josaline’s day-rate sessions for a flat rate of $1600/day that allows for greater flexibility in scheduling and budgeting on larger projects, and allows for greater understanding of the cost of larger-scale, multi-day projects.

An $800 deposit is required on all day-rate bookings. These deposits will be applied at the completion of the project and will be deducted from the final price.

Josaline commits a great deal of time and care into creating each design. The deposit ensures that she is paid for that time if you decide not to undergo the tattoo. It also ensures that she does not have a loss of income in cases of last minute rescheduling or if a client does not show up to an appointment.

Josaline is available for various illustrative endeavors, paintings, and tattoo designs. Commissions of these types are done on a per-piece basis and will require both a deposit and fee determined at the beginning of the project.

While Josaline does not repeat tattoos, she will gladly assist in creating original designs similar to those that have already been tattooed!

After consulting on your tattoo concept, there will be a much clearer concept of how long your tattoo will take. Josaline endeavors to quote as accurate a timeframe as possible and will let you know a likely window of time it should take to complete your project once enough information has been collected to do so.

Currently either cash or credit/debit are accepted forms of payment.

As of 2025, Josaline no longer accept tips as she feels it creates a more transparent pricing model for both myself and my clients.

Should you choose to leave a tip despite this policy, it will now be donated to a charity of either mine or your choosing!

You are free to reschedule up to twice on a deposit. Any reschedules done prior to 48 hours before your appointment will maintain the deposit and it will be applied to the new agreed-upon date.

Please know I may lack immediate availability for rescheduling and will attempt to find an appointment date as close to your newly desired date as possible.

In order to assure that all bookings are serious, I do not return deposits paid on appointments due to cancellation.

Pre-care instructions can be found here.

Appointments may include designing, stenciling and freehand drawing on your skin. Your skin will also be prepped for tattooing and later bandaged.

Applying a tattoo is a collaboration. I work with clients and implement practices to make sure they are as comfortable as possible and can sit for long periods.

I will frequently check in with you, we will take breaks, and you are encouraged to eat even if your appetite is low or ask for a break when you want one.

Distractions such as a phone, tablet, or book can be helpful when dealing with pain. More often than not, I am comfortable chatting with clients while I work and I will let you know if I need a quiet moment to better focus.

Detailed instructions for how to care for your tattoo can be found here.

A free touch-up is offered within one year of getting a tattoo. Touch-ups that are requested after that deadline will be charged my tattoo rate.

Touch-ups are done at Josaline’s discretion and are considered only if you email a photo and brief explanation of the portion that you would like touched up.

While Josaline does travel for guest spots, she is currently a resident artist at Darkwater Ink in Berkeley, California.

Josaline offers multiple avenues for creating a showing designs. From 3D scanning to more traditional processes, she is always innovating her technique to better suit the needs of every project.

If the idea of seeing design option on the day of your appointment gives you anxiety, or you simply want more control over the process, Josaline offers Collaborative Design Sessions as a way to help create confidence in every design.
