Scott has been tattooing with Oddity since 2007. He started at our Main Street shop and has spent the past five years at Oddity Bee Ridge.
He loves creating fun, colorful tattoos—especially animals, monsters, dinosaurs, pet portraits, flowers and unusual ideas. His work leans toward illustrative and new school, but he also enjoys color realism, watercolor and black-and-grey tattoos.
One of Scott’s favorite parts of tattooing is getting to know his clients and helping them leave happy. When someone brings him an idea, he asks questions, looks through their references and works with them to turn it into something original. He encourages clients to know what they want while remaining open to his suggestions, because that collaboration often produces the best tattoo.
Scott designs each piece around the person’s body, skin tone and placement. He pays close attention to spacing, contrast and color saturation so the tattoo looks great now and continues to hold up over time.
Scott works with tattoos of all sizes, accepts cover-up projects and walk-ins, and has flash available. You can find him at Oddity Bee Ridge on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. His rate is $200 per hour.

What Clients Say

“I got a tattoo with Scott Olive this morning. He also did another one for me several years ago. He is such a kind, patient artist who I’ll always recommend. As someone who doesn’t do well with needles and has a system that tends to overreact, he made me feel extremely comfortable and I felt well taken care of the entire time. I highly recommend Oddity in general as well, I’ve been to the Sarasota location in addition to this one. Both shops have been very comfortable and clean.”
