After seeing Cory's work on IG, I knew I found the right guy to do exactly what I was looking for -…read morean updated spin on American traditional-type artwork with that magical red that just POPS, and someone who valued 80's/90's - current pop culture. I love the way he incorporates these "nerdy" pop culture icons into his designs (Star Wars, X-Men, Ghostface, etc.). You can tell how seriously he takes his craft and it shows in his work. I didn't hesitate to go for a decent sized Darth Vader on my shoulder/arm, and it came out even better than expected. Less than 6 months later and I went back for my second tattoo from Cory - a traditional looking dragonfly for my moms 60th bday (she's always had a dragonfly tattoo). Again, perfection. The shop itself is awesome - very clean and open, with flash splattered on the walls and plenty of books showcasing art/tattoos from well known artists for inspiration/reference. Fridge full of complementary waters/drinks. And other artists either hard at work, or just shooting the shit (which is entertaining enough to get you through a full session, thanks Phil). The tattoos aren't cheap, but neither is good work! Check them out on IG @blackswantattoo . Last but not least, Lovebird (fried chicken sandwich place) is like a block away and is a must stop to fill up before getting tatted.

They checked in on how I was feeling throughout the entire thing, explained every step, and made me feel at home. I forgot to eat the first time I came and almost passed out afterwards and they fed me snacks, gave me water, and fanned me down until I felt better. What!? I have never felt so safe! I've been to other piercers for my ears and they always rushed the process and were never personable. But here at Pinky's? Oh, no baby. They are incredibly friendly and personable people and it's fucking awesome. I recommend everyone come here--especially if you're a woman, trans, non binary. This a safe space for queer folks!

Instead.
