This week on Trauma Rock Stars, I sit down with a true original—Cory, a respected tattoo artist and visionary creative who transformed his life in the most unconventional way. Once caught in the grip of addiction, he walked his own path of recovery without relying on AA, NA, or traditional programs. Instead, he poured every ounce of energy into his art, his thriving tattoo business, and his passion for fitness.

Covered head to toe—and face—with tattoos, Cory carries his story as vividly as the tattoos he wears. Beyond the ink, he’s a storyteller, an entrepreneur, and living proof that healing and discipline can carve out extraordinary second chances. His journey isn’t just about survival—it’s about building a life fueled by creativity, grit, and self-reinvention.
