The shop's apprentice, Cory Phillips is a young whippier snapper learning the tools of the trade, techniques and secret family recipes of his tattoo family here at the Art Spot. A 2008 graduate of West Virginia University in sculpture, he's no stranger to the arts. He's been drawing, sculpting and painting since his oversized, claw-like hands could grasp a pencil with their icy grip. Don't let the large stature and horrendous appearance fool you, he's a cupcake to the core and ready to help you out with your tattoo needs.
