Marginalized Tattoo

Dave is by far the best artist in the LA area.

Dave Davenport: Simply... an amazing artist and person.  I am pleased with the work he did for me and plan to go back for more.

Dave is the best. A great artist, a very light touch, and a good personal demeanor.

He made me feel comfortable right from the first consult. I brought in my own customized artwork, and aside from a few suggestions, he did it exactly as I wanted. Unlike other artists who might impose their style on your design, Dave merely adapted it masterfully into tattoo form. He was cool and relaxed throughout, and I was surprised at how literally painless the process was... felt more like razor burn than needles. He was also cool and unfazed when I fainted early on in the process (just nodded for a few moments, not a fan of seeing my own blood).

As for his original designs and art, they're downright amazing. Very reasonably priced, too... he charged me just over half of what they were asking at a well-known place I went to on Sunset (you'd know it) for my first consult. When I started asking around for other options, I met several people who mentioned him immediately and were very happy with his work. I would echo their recommendation... and in fact, I've already talked two other friends into getting theirs done with him. And now, he's gonna be my go-to guy for future ink.
