Nice little shop. I’ve been getting work done by Raigen and she is amazing!

Corndawg is the best. Professional, friendly, great conversation while giving us the most amazing tattoos. We LOVE our ink! Seriously the most detailed, incredible artwork. I got the great blue heron & my partner got the hermit. So happy with our tattoos & will definitely be going back for more. Thank you Beluga Palooza & Corndawg!

Request Corndawg! He is fantastic at what he does. I brought in a sketch of what I wanted and he asked if he could take some creative liberties. I would highly suggest letting him do what he wants because the results is amaze balls! His 14+ years of tattoo experience really will upgrade any tattoo concept that you may have.This is the most high quality and most detailed tattoo I own and I was blown away.

What an amazing experience. From the cleanliness of the facility to the fun atmosphere you are in for a treat when you use Beluga Palooza for your tattoo. We had an idea that Corndawg made even better and he took the time to create a work of art. His patience, his skill and his follow up made this the best tattoo experience we have had. We will be back!

Im still in awe with the tattoo I got from Corndawg a year ago, it was everything that I had been wanting and more! He took an idea I had and made 100000× better than I couldve ever imagined. Still love looking at it every day. Go check out his Instagram to see all his other amazing works!

Corndawg is an absolutely spectacular artist, and was very easy to work with on this custom piece. His colors are bold and beautiful, and his lines are crazy clean.

Corndawg did an amazing job on my tattoo, the best tattoo I have ever gotten! He took his time in every detail and even cared about the healing process. Will be back!

11/10 recommend getting your art done at Beluga Palooza. I am completely and utterly in love with the artwork on my leg. The tattoo looks exactly like the picture, even better! No matter where you are, make the drive, because I did, and it was worth it!

Super professional, had lots of great suggestions about both the design and the placement, ended up looking even better than I’d pictured it myself. Will definitely be going here for my next one!

Gotten two custom pieces now from Corndawg, and they are both phenomenal!! Incredible artist, skilled tattooer, clean comfortable shop. Absolutely recommended, I know Ill be back many more times!

Cory is amazing, his work is quality and you cannot find better in Bellingham.

Corndawg.... hands down.... best artist in town. Had a spectacular hummingbird and floral shoulder designed by him. Colors are fantastic and bright. If you are looking for high quality top notch work look no further!

Corndawg is a really cool guy and an extremely talented artist. Check out his work on Instagram to see the range of what he can do, it’s really impressive. I’ve gotten multiple decent sized pieces from him now and they both turned out better than they were in my head. Definitely worth getting some work done by him, especially if you are in the Bellingham area.

The master piece continues. I am so honored to be the canvas of this amazing piece of art. Phase 3 will be pine cones and the girls names. Not only a great artist but good people. They did an amazing fundraiser that helped save my dog Koda.

Loved having work done by the owner, Cory. Very detail oriented and really took his time to bring the wonderful concept to life. Amazing job. Highly recommend.

If you’re looking for a quality tattoo this is the place. The artist is professional and takes pride in the work he does. The shop is homely and you immediately feel comfortable upon entering (especially if you’re nervous or getting your first tattoo). There is no doubt you will walk out the door a satisfied customer.

Corndawgs work is amazing. I wanted a fox to symbolize my fox red lab that is no longer with me. She was the best dog and loved by anyone, foxy. What I got was nothing less than beautiful, more than anticipated. Wife got work done awesome 👌, and I am looking to get some more work done. Thanks Corndawg

My sister and I had an appointment with Richard the other night. He fit us in kind of last minute, welcomed us into the shop, and was super nice. This place is very clean and professional! Richard gave us clear instructions on after care for the tattoo, he is detail oriented, and frequently checked throughout the process to make sure we were happy. We would highly recommend him for your next (or first) tattoo!

This is the greatest tattoo I’ve ever received! The detail is absolutely amazing and looks exactly like the reference image. Corndawg was incredibly sweet and understanding and worked with me to stick to my budget. I am very happy with my tattoo and it is obvious he knows what he’s doing.

Great experience, would definitely return for more. I was actually a bit surprised that the price for my tattoo was as low as it was; definitely more than worth it for the quality.

Got many tattoos from Corndawg and will continue to get more. The environment is clean, spacious, relaxed, 80’s music playing and as much conversation as you’re willing to put forth(no pressured small talk). Thanks for your amazing work! :)

Some of the best work in Whatcom County. Insane detail, and creativity. Came in with a rough idea and left with a piece of art

Super clean, artistic, and unique. Corndawg took the time to talk with me about my plans for this appointment and futures ones on my arm to allow for correct placement. Healing was a breeze and they continue to look awesome. He is very artistic as well, he gave me one freehand cedar branch that looks so realistic!! Best tattoo artist in bham hands down

Corndawg at Beluga Palooza Tattoo is amazing at what he does. The detail that he put into my first tattoo was incredible and it came out exactly how I wanted. He takes a lot of pride in the work he does, and he continues to ensure the tattoo process goes well even after he puts the needle down. In my case, he followed up twice after the session to make sure the tattoo was healing well and that I had everything I needed. He gave very clear after care instruction. I included pictures of the tattoo that start from immediately after (he took the first photo), one week after and two weeks after to show the final product. Thanks again Corndawg, for making sure my first tattoo experience was a great one.Edit: I’ve now gotten a second tattoo from Corndawg and I am just as happy with the new design as the first one. I uploaded a picture of the new tattoo for reference.

My sister and I got matching tattoos in each other’s handwriting last night. Richard did an INCREDIBLE job and made it such an enjoyable experience. He took his time, made sure to capture every detail of our writing, and was very professional the entire time. I definitely plan to book an appointment with him if I get another tattoo.

Cory was extremely focused on the details of my tattoo which I really appreciated because it made my ideas come to life. His shop is super clean, and he has a light touch while tattooing. His work is beautiful and versatile, as well as definitely one of the best in Bellingham. My appointment had to be rescheduled due to the pandemic, but he was super communicative with rescheduling and got me in as soon as he opened! Thank you again! Definitely would recommend him to anyone and hope to get more work done by him in the future!

Cory was amazing! Great line work and attention to detail.I’m extremely satisfied with both of my pieces and highly recommend. No matter what you’re getting, he’s got you covered!I will be coming back. (:

Beluga Palooza is a must visit for anyone into tattoos! He makes beautiful work, and you can tell he puts his heart into every stroke. Thanks again!

My beloved dog, was tragically and suddenly taken from me yesterday. I knew in that instant that I had to get his paws tattooed on me before we took him to get cremated. I googled shops and he was the only one opening soon. He answered my call and said he’d squeeze me in that do no matter what. The paw he did is an exact of the one of my dogs. I’ll forever miss him, but I’m so grateful for Cory, and the work he did. Amazing quality, and he’s very kind. I highly recommend him.

Such amazing care and work went into my tattoo! I love how it turned out. Definitely will be returning

Great artist and impressive studio. Cory does amazing artwork. Unbelievably talented!

Great experience getting tattooed by Cory! He was amazing and his linework is amazing!

The BEST experience. CORNDAWG did so much better than what I could have even imagined. Freaking AMAZING. I’ve never seen the detail, dot work and perfection from anyone before him. I’m obsessed and will DEFINITELY be back. 🖤

My friend and I just got tattooed by Corndawg (Cory) last night, and it was a great experience! His shop is super comfortable and cute, and he was flexible and fit us in his day super last minute. But most of all, his work is fantastic! He helped us bring to life ideas that we only had partially stitched together in our heads. I will definitely be going to him again in the future.

I got a great Tattoo here! I brought in a (very) rough draft idea of what I wanted and it turned out spectacular! The artist, Corndawg, provided great opinions and helped make my design work as a stand-alone, as well as provide a path for future expansion. And he saw me in a very timely manner. Overall, great experience!

Cory did my first tribute piece to my best friend, my pup, Lincoln. I was traveling on my honeymoon and one of our stops was where the shop was. He had awards and countless reviews, so I felt confident to pull the plug. Im glad that I did too. His line and dot work was so clean. I had friends from Orange County, California (where I lived) asking where I got it done. One of my friends actually booked a trip with me to get her first tattoo with Cory as well and I got a second.Cory was super proud of his work and it showed in the final piece. Still to this day, my tribute to Lincoln is one of my most complimented tattoos. Hands down if I could afford to, I would fly and get one done by Cory every year. I hope to get back out there to get a tattoo for my son, born in December.It should go without saying, that if people are willing to fly to get tattoos done, that the artist must be pretty darn good.

My husband and I heard about the shop from his coworker. What we learned is that the main artist prioritizes women over men. This wouldn’t usually be an issue but the initial date for him was set a month out. We contacted him separately. My design was equally detailed but he was able to get me in within the month.

Cory is the best. I traveled from Illinois twice to have him do my sons tattoo. I loved it so much I had him give me my first tattoo. From a client point of view he is extremely amazing at what he does. From a nurse point of view he is extremely safe and uses all appropriate precautions. I will be getting another tattoo soon and will without a doubt be flying across the US to see Cory

Richard did an amazing job fixing the color of a tattoo I got. Love this place!

Corndawg is an awesome artist! He gives good advice for the best overall aging and quality. He did an AMAZING JOB on my Vincent Price portrait with a Nosferatu silhouette! Definitely going back for the rest of my tattoos!!

I said goodbye to my beloved pet Great Dane recently and wanted to immortalize him with a tattoo. I found Cory while I was visiting Bellingham. I told him what I wanted in the tattoo and gave him examples. He was very thoughtful throughout the planning phases. When I saw his designs, I was very impressed. 3 hours later, I had a masterpiece on my arm that looked better than the print design!Highly recommended tattoo artist.

This was a mom-daughter date! My daughter turned 18 in April and I wanted to make it memorable. Corndawg is a very talented artist, listening closely to the details we wanted, precise and meticulous in his work, and taking care in creating our beautiful permanent art. I love the tattoo and will definitely be back for more! Thank You!!

Cory is amazing. The best art work I have ever had done. My roses are so real looking and beautiful. I get compliments all the time. I sent my daughter to him to get her first tattoo because he is the best.

So glad I found this artist. Awesome work. Exceptional detail! Chill guy who will give you what you want but also help by giving his options/advice. Will definitely be back. Would recommend!

Cory is one of the best tattoo artist’s. His work is truly amazing. He’s got a light hand and he can make your idea into something even more. He also is a all around great guy he always makes I feel so welcome. If you want a great tattoo Cory is the one! Hands down!

I have never been in such an awesome shop. You walk in and the shop is so inviting and calm. Corndawg is very professional and cordial. I went into the shop wanting a simple piece that I was unsure of, and walked out with something that I never thought would exceed my expectations so much. The shop is very clean and organized, you would think Corndawg was a surgeon. I can confidently say that as long as I live in Washington, Corndawg will be my go to artist! I couldnt imagine going to anyone else after having the best experience I have ever had at a shop!

LOVE my tattoo! He took my idea and turned it into something even better! The shop is very clean and Corndawg is friendly and professional. His work is truly impeccable and I couldnt be happier. As an added bonus, he has great taste in music which was fun to jam out to while getting my tattoo :) I will definitely come back to Beluga Palooza for my next tattoo. Thanks again!!

Cory is one of the best tattoo artist I know. I seen his art work online just looking at potential shops and i found him! I drove all the way from Kansas the first time just to get a tattoo from him. I am truly grateful for him and his shop. I have the most beautiful tattoos by him, everyone stops me just to look at my arms. His talents are amazing. Cant wait for him to complete the rest of my arms.

If youre looking for professional, beautiful ink that will be a piece of art that you love forever this is your guy. I highly recommend Cory as a tattoo artist, he is insanely talented and will work with you to create a piece you will love. You are in good hands!! I would get another piece from him any day.

I went to Cory for some ink a few years ago. It was my first big piece. I wanted to get an anchor with my first daughter’s name on it somewhere. This was the only instruction I gave him he was able to create a beautiful neo-traditional piece that I adore daily. His quality of work is one of the best that I have ever seen. He was extremely professional in that he even phoned me a few days later to see how the healing process was going. Such a personal touch that says a lot about the quality and care he puts into his passion. I would recommend him to anyone looking for some ink.

So In love with my tattoo! The lines and shading are precise and it turned out even better than the reference photo. Highly recommend.

Great shop! I’m so happy with how the design and final piece turned out. His attention to detail and skill can’t be beat! I don’t plan on going anywhere else for future tattoo work

I’ve had many tattoo’s but this was the first time I had actually passed out for the first time. Corndog was there to help me, put knowledge on what happened and how my body reacted, brought me Water and a candy bar to raise my sugar levels up. Absolute 12/10 service and the quality of the portrait of my tattoo was phenomenal. My favorite tattoo so far. Can’t wait to work with him more!

Incredible talent!! Corndog surpassed my expectations on a set of owls to start off my sleeve. The detail and realism is insane. Highly recommend!! Second appointment already booked and I can’t wait!

If you are looking to take the leap on your first tattoo or simply add to a collection, Cory is the man. His original art work is impeccable and he can take your ideas and make them better than you could have ever imagined. I cant wait to visit him again and add more birds to my collection. Thanks Cory!

The tattoo I got was important to me in memory of two of the most important ladies in my life that had passed. I was listened to about how I wanted it and was honestly told what would work and not work. I was made comfortable the entire time. The shop is clean and all the employees where amazing. I have alot of tattoos and this one was by far my favorite. And best done. I would recommend these guys a thousand times over

Hands down the best tattoo artist Ive met! Extra clean, very professional and creative. He can pretty much do anything you can imagine. His portfolio speaks for itself. A true artist in every way!

Corndawg was very nice to me, and he came in on his day off to do a consultation for me and he was looking up wolfs for my tattoo and it took him a while. After he found the right one he placed it on my hand and asked me if I want to get tattooed right now, and I said sure. I highly recommend Corndawg to anyone that wants to get a tattoo. He is very nice and he is very very good at what he does.Thank you very much Corndawg. I cant wait for my next piece that we are gonna do, im looking forward to it. I was about to pass out do to me not eating and he helped me out and I thank u for that.

Cory is an amazing artist, Ive had such an amazing experience with him in South Lake Tahoe. Hes dedicated to his customers and takes his time with every piece big or small. The detail he creates is simply breathtaking, I love all my pieces hes done and can not wait to get more.Thank you Cory for such amazing work!!!!

I just got a tattoo here by Cory of a detailed realistic looking rose and Im really impressed by his work! He takes his time and is very detailed and professional. Ive gone to other artists in the past, but I had the best experience of all with him and the best work done yet!

I love corndawg (Cory) so much. He’s an amazing artist & person! I’ve gotten several tattoos by him and his artists and have always been beyond pleased. Very professional. Definitely recommend this place!!!!

This guy is outstanding at what he does. He’s tattooed both my husband and I. His attention to detail and the way he makes your tattoo come to life is quite an amazing talent. Thank you Cory for doing what you do!! Keep up the fantastic art.

I highly recommend this spot! I’m so glad I decided to get my 1st tattoo here. I honestly can say I couldn’t be any more satisfied with the whole experience. The shop is very Sanitized Nd well maintained, thanx CornDog for making my 1st tattoo experience awesome 🙂

Richh did a script piece for me and was awesome! Super professional and informative!

Cory is one of the best tattoo artist I have ever known. His line work is amazing. I have been getting tatted by him since 2004 and wouldnt go to anyone else. His work speaks for itself; his portrait and nature tattoos are spot on and always look like the pictures referenced.

Corndawg did the most fantastic job on my bumble bee tattoo. His attention to detail is impeccable. And not only is he an amazing artist, but he is super professional and easy to get ahold of. His shop is super clean, and he definitely values cleanliness.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE my experience Cory at Beluga Palooza. I was looking for a good tattoo artist to do my emotional tattoos for my grandchildren and Fiends I had lost . I told Cory my thoughts for the tattoos. It amazed me to watch him design my thoughts into reality❤️. I have gotten so many comments on them. Thank you Cory for your great talent ❤️

My friend and I came in for our appointment and Cory helped us out every step of the way. He made sure we left happy with the ideas we came in with and the finished products looked amazing! Definitely will take the time to come back in the future

Cory is one of the most talented tattoo artists I have ever met. He has done my portrait of Dave Matthews and a couple of large cover-ups that will hopefully get finished soon. I couldnt be happier with the work he has done and I am glad he is actually within driving distance now! Cory is the standard I hold artists to.

Corndawg is such an amazing artist. No matter the style I can spit and idea out of my brain and he brings it to life! Very clean and professional, you won’t go wrong with this shop

Cory “corndawg” is the man! I met him when he lived in Tahoe and had a shop there. He has done all my tattoos and I love them! I will definitely travel to Washington to have corndawg do more work for me! I have recommended him to many of my friends and family for an outstanding tattoo artist!

Cory is an amazing artist! My husband and I get stopped wherever we go and get compliments on our tattoos. We live across the country, but will continue to make the trip to him for our work! Thanks Cory (Corn Dawg)!

I love Corndawgs work. He creates such beautiful work and I definitely consider the rose/microphone tattoo he did on me to be my favourite piece! He makes the tattoo experience so enjoyable and easy from booking, to having it done, to the finished product. I dont want to get ink from anyone other than him. HIGHLY reccomend going to wherever he is if anyone out there is looking for some ink masterpieces.

Cory is amazing. Not only as an artist but as a person. Gave me my first and second piece that are all one. I barely felt it and thats why I waited until 32 to get a tattoo. Thought it would hurt like crazy. Nope quite the opposite. I look forward to adding more to my ever growing piece by Cory. Wish I could add a pic ☆☆☆☆☆

The only tattoo artist I trust with working on my arm. He truely has a natural skill for this. You can tell him an idea and he will some how come up with the image in your head. I would totally recommend going and checking out his shop and portfolio.

Cory is a truly gifted artist and a really good guy. He makes the whole experience easy. I cannot wait to have him do my next tattoo, as well.

Cory is a an amazing artist and he is very helpful and creative if you dont have your tattoo completely figured out. He put my sons first tat and I wouldnt of wanted anyone else to give my son his first.

The only shop to go to. The detail and quality that cory puts into his tattoos is unreal. Very clean and friendly environment. Definitely the only person Ill let tattoo me, after 3 years the ink and detail look as good as when I got it.

Cory is THE BEST! He is very professional and his work is amazing!! Extremely happy with my tats!
