Corey is an apprentice tattooer at Monolith Studio who has been tattooing since 2023. After graduating with highest honors from Harvard University, he spent a short stint in investment banking at Morgan Stanley. Completely turned off from that path, somewhere along the way he met Oscar Akermo, who would eventually take him on as an apprentice.
Corey spent nearly two years rigorously learning how to draw, including a year spent at Grand Central Atelier, where he learned to draw from life intensively. Now tattooing for one year, he is focused on a variety of styles with an emphasis on clean execution and precise technique. Interested in taking on the traditions handed to him through his mentors, and beyond that the history of tattooing as a whole, Corey hopes to weave his own unique vision for timeless, exquisitely crafted tattooing into his work.
