Adaptable tattooing, grounded in Southern roots.
Josey Yonge was born and raised in Alabama, with strong roots in Lower Alabama and a deep connection to the clients and communities she has served throughout her career. A Southern girl and country girl at heart, Josey brings a grounded, practical, and personal approach to tattooing.
Art has been part of Josey’s life from the beginning. Her mother was a painter and sculptor, and Josey first found her artistic roots at home, surrounded by studio work and creative process. She later studied studio arts at the University of South Alabama, continuing to build her foundation in drawing, design, and visual problem-solving.
Josey has been in and around tattoo shops since 2010 and has been tattooing professionally since 2015. Her experience has made her one of the studio’s most adaptable tattooers, capable of handling everything from cover-ups and black and grey tattoos to florals, traditional work, smaller tattoos, and bold blackwork-style projects.

Josey’s artistic approach is built around adaptability, problem-solving, and translating client ideas into tattoos that can actually work on skin. She thrives in the chaos of sorting through ideas, references, placements, existing tattoos, and client goals, then turning that information into a clear and realistic tattoo plan.
Her background in studio art, along with the influence of growing up around her mother’s painting and sculpture practice, shaped the way Josey approaches each project. She looks at the whole picture: the client’s idea, the body placement, the existing work, the style, the limitations, and the best way to make the tattoo feel intentional.
Whether she is working on a cover-up, floral piece, religious tattoo, traditional design, geometric idea, or bold blackwork-style project, Josey focuses on making the final tattoo readable, wearable, and specific to the client.
