I started tattooing in Aug. 1999. One of my first role models was a guy out of Grass Valley, CA. named Cory Norris. His work was great, and he was super cool. I used to take my portfolio to him as he was doing my left arm and get advise. I was just starting out and he would always be honest and make me want to try harder. He also always kept me humble and striving for integrity in my work. It's so crazy to me that twelve years later I would be interviewing him for the leading trade journal of the tattoo industry. Tattoo Artist Magazine (TAM) asked me to do this article two years ago and after some unfortunate roadblocks it's finally out. I am completely honored beyond the meaning of that word to have done this. Subscribe now to this publication, read it and send Cory an email. He's an incredible artist, friend and person.
