Cory Miller

Cory Miller is a tattoo artist at Bold and Brave Tattoo Parlor in the Clear Lake area of Houston, Texas.

He has been tattooing for a little over five years now, but creating art has been a part of his life for much longer. Around 20 years ago, he started taking his art more seriously. Countless hours were spent sketching and drawing anything that caught his interest. From Japanese-inspired artwork to tattoo-inspired designs, Cory began incorporating his artwork into a variety of different projects.

Cory's passion for art eventually led him to the University of Houston, where he spent several years studying graphic design. That experience gave him a strong foundation in design, composition, and visual storytelling, all of which continue to influence the way he approaches his work today.

In 2020, he finally took a leap of faith and pursued tattooing professionally. It was something that he had wanted to do for a long time, and taking that step has been one of the best decisions he has ever made for himself and his creativity.

Cory's work is primarily rooted in American Traditional tattooing, a style that he has always been drawn to for its bold lines, strong imagery, and timelessness. He loves the balance between traditional tattooing and his own artistic perspective. He continues looking for ways to grow while staying true to what inspires him.

Outside of tattooing, Cory also has a deep appreciation for small businesses and fellow creatives who are trying to make their mark on the world. He truly enjoys helping bring their ideas to life through logos, merchandise, and other custom designs.

For Cory, art has always been about more than just creating something that looks good. It's about taking an idea, making it your own, and turning it into something meaningful that you can share with the world.

He would love the opportunity to work with you and create something that means something to you — whether it's a tattoo with a deeper story behind it or simply a design you've always wanted. If you're ready to bring an idea to life, he would love to hear from you!
