PORTFOLIOS
JOSH
Josh is the lead man here at Studio Eight Tattoo Company, creating a name for himself 17 years ago when he became a part of Twisted Banana. Over 21 years in the tattoo industry, he has apprenticed a number of young tattoo artists including our very own Lana and Sam, successfully training them into the amazing artists they have become. As an artist, Josh primarily dedicates his time to black & grey realism and traditional style pieces, he does not offer color pieces. Josh has a calming and fun personality and will always make you feel welcome and comfortable in his chair. Check out Josh's work out here and give him a follow on his socials!​

Lana has been tattooing for 13 exciting years and counting. Lana spent her lifetime searching for a career where she could lay her artistic talents. Hairstyling was her first gig, then graphic design and illustration. Eventually she landed in the tattoo world and has finally found her true niche. To her, tattooing is so much more than art. She's been grateful for the opportunity to embellish skin, cover scars and help others tell their story. Lana's favorite styles to tattoo are horror, gore and anything nature inspired. You will see pieces from skulls and demons, florals and animals to pet portraits in her portfolio. Check out Lana's work here and give her a follow on her socials!

Sam has been a part of the Twisted Banana & Studio Eight crew for over 12 years, starting her tattoo journey in 2019. Sam has become a successful tattoo artist specializing in neo-traditional and pop culture pieces with bold color as well as black & grey. Sam took home the trophy for "Best Small Colour" tattoo at the 2025 Edmonton Tattoo Festival, and is proving to hold that talent through her many coloured pieces! You will see a good collection of Pokemon, Nintendo and cartoon theme pieces in her portfolio as well as bold traditional pieces. A visit with Sam means feeling welcome and comfortable with a side of goofiness and good banter. Check out Sam's work here and give her a follow on her socials!
