I got into tattooing young just following what I genuinely loved like cartoons and games, and it’s been my favorite thing ever since. Even when I almost walked away I found my way back, and now I spend most of my time drawing and trying to get better. If you trust me with your idea I’ll treat it like it matters and make sure it’s something you’re proud to wear.

I was fortunate enough to meet Cory over some business and now this is my go to place for all things art! Cory has a serious talent as well and has done a few of my tattoos as well as my son in law!

Great relaxed atmosphere. The work was by far the best I have personally experienced. I have received more compliments than I could have ever imagined on the tattoo. The whole crew is top notch!

Couldn’t be happier with my latest tattoo, my first with Cory at his shop! This was a very difficult assignment, a cover up of a tattoo that had been terribly butchered by another artist. Cory listened, and put it time, thought and effort into this coverup and I’m blown away by his technical expertise!

Went in for a tattoo from Cory Hand and had a great experience from start to finish. Cory was very kind and did an amazing piece of art that I love. The shop is very clean, and everyone there is super friendly. I can't wait to go back for my next one!

I followed Cory here from Savannah. Cory and Jenni are some of the most gifted artists I've ever had the pleasure to deal with. All of the artists at I Love You are amazing, but Cory has been my go to for the past 7 years. His talent and skill are unsurpassed and his work is superb.
