Testimonials
Alana does amazing work! Crisp lines and dynamic colour throughout my entire arm (and we are still going)! She takes the time to listen to your ideas and inspiration and then turns them into a beautiful piece of work! To make it even better she is such a genuinely cool human. I find myself looking forward to the next tattoo for the conversation almost as much as the new piece of art that I will be getting! This lady rocks!
I love my tattoo so much. I am a breast cancer survivor and had mastectomy scars and no areola. Thanks to Alana I have a beautiful tattoo and an areola! This was my first tattoo and Alana made me feel so comfortable and at ease. I am over the moon happy! Thank you Alana
Alana is my go-to, and I can’t wait for our next session. Not only is she kind and considerate, but she is a SUPER talented and respectful tattoo artist. She has done original pieces, coverups and reworks for me… small dainty art as well as larger pieces… and every time she is very open and accommodating to what I want. I’ve had lots of work done by artists in different cities and shops, but I keep returning to Alana. She always nails it, and the work always heals perfectly and without blow outs or strange healing. She knows what she is doing as she is very experienced and skilled. Saskatchewan is lucky to have her. If you are thinking about getting work done by her, don’t hesitate and get in touch with her NOW.
Alana is an amazing talented artist! I am very lucky to also call her one of my greatest friends. Her unique tattoo work, kindness and charm set her apart from others in the industry. She has done multiple tattoos for me and I will return again & again! Her tattoos are creative, inspirational and have killer craftsmanship! She is the whole package!!! Can’t wait for my next!!!
Absolutely love what Alana did with the memory piece she did for my dad… her work is top notch… definitely looking to have another piece done by Alana
