My story
I am a passionate tattoo artist dedicated to crafting unique and meaningful body art. My focus is on providing reliable and innovative design solutions, driven by a deep respect for quality and a genuine desire to exceed your expectations. Each tattoo is a collaboration, bringing your ideas to life with precision and artistry.
My history
My name is Dave Parrett, and I’ve been tattooing for about 16 years now. I’ve always tried to stay well-rounded in my work, so I’m comfortable taking on just about any style that walks through the door. Whether it’s something simple or a big custom piece, I enjoy the challenge of making it come out solid and built to last.
I’ve owned my own studio, Olympus Ink for the last 11 years, which has given me the chance to really grow—not just as an artist, but in how I run things and take care of clients. I’m especially into doing pop culture pieces. I like taking stuff people already connect with and turning it into something custom they can wear forever.

My Process
What to expect when a scheduling your tattoo appointment.
1st step
Contact me via email or my preferred method, schedule using my scheduling app. Click the top right icon and follow the link to my scheduling app. You will be given a prompt with all the information I need about your tattoo.
2nd Step
Once you’ve sent all your reference images with a description of what you’d like to get tattooed and where on your body. Include size and preferred outline, black and grey or color. Once I’ve reviewed your ideas and accepted the project, we will find a time to have a consultation.
The consult usually takes about 15 to 20 mins. We will discuss your ideas and reference. I will take notes and ask questions about your vision for your tattoo.
After I have a clear idea of how long your tattoo will take, I will give you an estimate on time and price.
3rd step
Scheduling your appointment.
We will find a time that works to schedule your appointment. I require a deposit of $180 to secure your spot. Full day appointments require a $360 deposit. The deposit will be applied to your final appointment.
Final Step
Now the fun part! When you come in for your appointment you’ll be expected to be well rested. It’s good to eat something an hr before you come in. For long session I encourage clients to bring anything that will make them more comfortable. Headphones, pillow, snacks, blanket, etc.. Your comfort is a priority to me.
Do not come in drunk or drugged up.
It does not make the day easier for me.
