Lost Edge Tattoo

The Studio:
Lost Edge Tattoo is absolutely amazing, I would 10/10 recommend it. For starters, the shop was very clean and had a chill vibe to it, which matched perfectly with the friendly nature of everyone there. I was able to enjoy some complimentary drinks in the waiting area while watching TV and talking to the receptionist. The music playing throughout the entire studio was a nice touch, with quality synced speakers set up in each room .

The Experience:
Tyler, a visiting artist, really took the time to talk through my tattoo idea and offer some really great recommendations and advice. He drafted a couple different options for me, with my wants and needs always at the forefront of the conversation. I very much felt like it was a collaborative design effort with me always being the lead.
Also, Tyler took into consideration my future tattoo plans when designing the piece. Making sure to leave opportunity and patters that would allow for the next artist to flow into the piece organically, which I very much appreciated.

The Result:
All in all, I ended up leaving with a piece 10x better than what I walked in anticipating to get.
Already booked my next appointment to work with Cory!

When I first moved to Austin I googled best black and white tattoo artist in Austin. Sure enough you can probably guess who came up, if you cannot guess then have the person reading this to you give it a shot. Anyhow I took some screen shots of tattoos I had liked, one image specifically was exactly the style I had wanted. Cory took time to review the pictures and asked when I would like to get started. I asked when he had finished drawing something up to let me know and I would take a look then setup a time. I was soon told that this was not the way he worked and that he was more of a freehand artist, I couldn’t be more happy with Cory’s design. His pieces are obviously one of a kind as he does not duplicate anyone else’s images but creates his own as he goes. I have had multiple sessions with Cory and still have a few to go before it is completed. His work is worth every dollar and more, I try to schedule after each session for his next available time as he is obviously popular and for good reason! Keep up the great work Cory and see you soon!

Cory's portfolio speaks for itself where his raw talent is concerned, so I'll talk about the experience. The studio is clean, cozy. Once Cory gets started he's a machine with the needle. Great chairside manner. I've never had a piece done that hurt so little and healed so fast. Cory is amazingly gentle.

On the upper end of price but you get what you pay for. Book early, he's very busy, for good reason!

Cory did my inside forearm few years ago then came back to finish it to a whole sleeve. My experience for both was great! Very nice guy! He will explain everything to you from placement and darkness to light. I definitely will comeback for my other body parts.

Loved the studio, very clean and organized. Cory is very professional and talented. Love how the tattoo came out. Cant wait to get another round in.

Amazing artist. Worth the wait. I was definitely an annoying client, but he worked with me, and in the end, everything was way better than anything I could have imagined up. He puts detail into every centimeter and the attention to detail shows. Can’t wait to schedule a second session with Cory. If you’re looking for epic grey and white work, come here!

I was tattooed by Mike Davenport. Mike was prompt, clean, good convo and Killed it. His work is 100%. Put together an amazing piece, so I think he’s some sort of mind reader... dunno
From one local business owner recognizing another, Cory was a solid host who takes his business very seriously. His shop is spotless, has a good energy and his vibe is welcoming. Apprentices Rex and Sarge hold it down.
It’s nice to walk out feeling like you’ve made friends.
No inferiority complexes here. Found my new shop 🤘🏻

Cory is a consummate professional. I found him on Instagram after trying to find the best possible tattoo artist for my first tattoo. My tattoo was pretty complex and he took a solid 5 hours drawing it out with me to get it right. Then we crushed 6 plus hours tattooing it and it came out flawless. If you look at his Instagram, it is the one that is a big clock on an inner arm. A

He was more expensive than many of the tattoo artists I found, but was so much better it was unreal. Worth every single penny and more! If you are looking for a budget artist, I would go elsewhere, but you will get what you pay for. If you want something incredible, Cory is the guy!

On top of that, he was enjoyable to chat with and I could not have asked for a better experience for my first tattoo.

When I get another tattoo, I will 100% be using Cory!

Cory did a great job. I had idea in my head and he put it all together. Cory is a busy guy so plan ahead. I sat for 6.5 hrs for the first session and almost 7hrs for 2nd session. He worked around some spots that were a little sensitive and gave me a chance to "rest".

As we talked I truly appreciate that he remembered a small tid bit and he incorporated it my tattoo!!. I did not even know this until I saw it 2 wks later. Also he took great care to blend and shade around another tattoo I had.

I have nothing but positive things to say. Cory and price for the work he did was more than fair. If you want to pay flash wall tattoo prices head somewhere else. Cory is an artist and I feel he wanted to make sure the tattoo was reflection of that.

Just my 2cents but highly recommend Cory.

Great work by Henrry Bravo at Lost Edge. I was looking for someone good with color, photo-realistic birds, and he did not disappoint. I'll definitely be returning for more of his work.
