Corey

I've been tattooing for 21 years now and I'm also a graduate of The DuCret School of Art. I began learning tattoo with Tom Beerman a while back. He introduced me to Gene Bernardo of Gene's Body Art World to get my certifications. After a few years I worked my way into managing their main location in Long Branch with Melissa. From there I followed my co-workers to Eternal Images where I took over their LBI shop for a summer season. At the end of that season I began talking with my father about opening our own shop, Melissa came on board and we opened UnWritten Ink and the rest is history!
