Cory grew up in Putnam County, WV and began tattooing in 2011 after graduating West Virginia University with his BFA in sculpture. Cory’s tattoos are known for realism, black and grey or color and pop culture and anime subjects. Marvel and Star Wars are his favorites, and you can see that from his many collectibles around the studio. Outside tattooing Cory practices prop building, sculpting, and 3D printing. Although he has a special interest in pop culture and anime, Cory also loves to tattoo realistic subjects including portraits, skulls, animals, and botanicals.
