Parlato, Storm - Edited

Storm Parlato

Owner & Head Artist

Originally from Nebraska and in Georgia since 2017, Storm brings 6 years behind the machine and a story-first approach to every piece.

He specializes in black & grey, realism, portraits, clean linework, and lettering. For Storm, tattooing is attitude, passion, and a way to leave your mark.

Tomas Pacheco

Artist

Born in Mexico and raised in Gainesville, Tomas treats tattooing as connection, not just decoration.

Clients come to him for steady linework, smooth black-and-grey gradients, and designs that heal clean. He collaborates hard up front—size, placement, and flow—so the final piece sits naturally on the body and ages well.

Gustavo Lopez

Artist

Gustavo’s focus is turning personal stories into bold, readable black-and-grey pieces.

Lifelike textures, thoughtful contrast, and calm chair-side energy make his sessions approachable—especially for first-timers who want quality without the guesswork.

What Our Clients Have to Say

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Van Studios is my very favorite place to get tattoos. Over the years, I have followed the owner, Storm, to four different shops. I'm so happy that he has his own shop now! He is an amazing person and artist.

He is so talented and he and his wife, Jules, are genuinely kind and good people. I've been getting tattoos for about 30 years and am happy to have the type of relationship with Storm where he listens to what I want and then I love to give him creative freedom to make it happen.

I am never disappointed and always walk away with a piece I adore. I have sent family members to him and will continue to tell anyone who will listen that he's the best! My husband and I go to him for all of our tattoos. And the new shop is pretty dope.
