Prospering Career
As mentioned earlier, Corey began his career at a young age. He had an apprenticeship when he was 17 years old, but it wasn't an exceptionally wonderful experience, and he only learned the basics of tattooing there.
Corey Divine had established himself as a tattoo artist by 2014, and his distinctive blackwork designs had already made their way on the body of his clients. In contrast to the present, the tattoo artists used to do tiny pieces on the arms and hands of his clients back then.
In April 2015, the artist tattooed people at the International Nepal Tattoo Convention's 5th anniversary at Hotel Yak n Yeti Durbarmarg in Kathmandu, Nepal. The same year, he started collaborating with other talented tattoo artists such as Marco Galdo, Chaim Machlev, Kinki Ryusaki, and Claudio Comite.

Currently, he works at Oakland's Sacred Geometry Shop while simultaneously traveling the globe and promoting himself on his own website.

He carves detailed and frequently large-scale works of art onto the flesh of collectors all over the world.
For the time being, the artist acknowledges that he has no clue what his next project will be, but he is leaning toward incorporating more color into his work and moving away from his signature blackwork.
