Our artists prides themselves in being specialized in their own niche as well as creating a unique piece of artwork for every client that comes through the door. We are a custom design tattoo shop rather than a walk-in/flash style shop, meaning we require a consultation and drawing time before booking your tattoo appointment with us. Please learn about our artists to discover who you're best suited with by checking out their profiles below.

MEET OUR ARTISTS
Josh
Josh is the lead man here at Studio Eight Tattoo Company, creating a name for himself 15 years ago when he became a part of Twisted Banana. Over 20 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!
Note: Josh does not do color tattoos and is not accepting pocket watch, tigers or lion tattoos for the time being
Lana
Lana has been tattooing for 11 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
Sam has been a part of the Twisted Banana & Studio Eight crew for 10 years, starting her journey with us as our receptionist, and quickly slid under Josh's wing to begin her tattooing adventure. Fast forward 6 years and Sam has become a successful tattoo artist specializing in neo-traditional and pop culture pieces with bold color as well as black & grey. 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!
