What's already true
The studio was built on your work. The work is there.
You've built something real — a personal brand that drew enough momentum to open a studio, a roster of artists who operate under your philosophy, and a body of work in large-scale multi-session pieces that belongs in front of the collectors and artists you want to reach. The raw material exists.
A
B
A deep archive
Process footage and final pieces, already shot, ready to be shaped into content.
C
A point of view
A distinct philosophy as an artist — not just a service, but a standard.
D
Real momentum
Lost Edge is a new build with genuine exposure goals and room to grow.
E
A dual audience
Two groups to reach at once: collectors and the artist community.
F
Clear authority
High-end, multi-session, large-scale work — a lane that's unmistakably yours.
Where the gap is
@coryjamestattoo has fallen behind. That's the one thing to fix.
The studio page runs every day. Your personal page — the one the whole thing started from — isn't keeping up. That disconnect matters. Collectors and artists who find you need to see the artist behind Lost Edge Tattoo, not just the studio. The content is in your hands. The time to create it isn't.
The audit
Where the current content falls short.
01
The voice that built it went quiet
@lostedgetattoo posts every day; @coryjamestattoo is behind. The artist whose point of view opened the studio is the one collectors and artists most want to hear from — and right now that voice is the one missing.
02
Your point of view isn't on the page
You opened a studio on a philosophy — high-end, large-scale, multi-session work, a standard every artist holds. Very little of that conviction comes through. The work shows up; the artist behind it, and why he does it this way, rarely does.
03
No story behind the why
People don't follow a service — they follow a point of view. Too little of the page tells why you built Lost Edge, what you stand for, or what makes your chair different. That's the part that earns belief before a booking, and it needs far more room.
04
Nothing built in your own words
The work is visual, but your authority is in how you talk about the craft. Interview-style, voiceover-led content — you explaining your thinking — is exactly what builds trust with collectors and artists. There's a little of it; you need a lot more.
05
The archive sits unused
Months of process footage and final pieces, already shot, never shaped into anything that carries your narrative. The raw material is there; the editorial layer that turns it into your story isn't.
06
Two pages, no shared story
@coryjamestattoo and @lostedgetattoo run independently. Your personal page should carry the artist's voice and purpose; the studio page, the brand it built. Told together, they earn a trust no single feed can.
Based on what you shared with us — this is an honest read on where @coryjamestattoo isn't working for you right now. The throughline: your point of view, your voice, and the reason you built Lost Edge are the most valuable things you have — and there's far too little of you talking, in voiceovers and interview-style content, on the page right now. That's exactly what the partnership is built to grow.

Three ways to work together. One clear goal.

On pricing: These are founding-client rates, held for you as an early partner. Standard rates rise 15–20% every 6 months as demand grows — your rate is locked. Month-to-month structure means no long-term obligation: you see the work, you decide what's next on your own terms. Every package is scoped in writing before we begin, with nothing billed past what's named here.
Add-ons — standalone services, available at any tier.
Add any of these to your active package when the moment calls for it — built specifically for where Cory James and Lost Edge are headed.

|---|---|---|
| Media Kit | $1,000–$2,000 | A ready-to-send asset package — brand story, high-res asset library, bio, and a clean media page — so when press or collaborators come to you, you have something to hand them. |

| YouTube Long-Form Launch | $1,500–$3,000 | Strategy, channel setup, and first three long-form videos — process docs, studio walkthroughs, or collector journey content. |
The philosophy
"The artist the studio was built on deserves a page that shows it."The Creative Conservator
Why it's an easy yes
Low friction. High clarity.
01
Month-to-month
No long-term lock-in. The work earns the renewal — every month.
02
You keep approval
Nothing posts without your confirmation. Final say stays yours. That's non-negotiable.
03
Austin, on-site
We're local and in the room at Lost Edge — when something happens, we turn it around fast.
Who this is for
Cory James, specifically.
An artist whose personal page slipped behind while the studio grew — sitting on real archival footage that hasn't been shaped into content yet, with a point of view worth showing.
A founder who wants the studio and the personal brand to work together, not compete. Open to TikTok, but not ready to commit until the foundation is solid. Someone who wants to show point of view — not just finished work, but the philosophy behind it.
