A little bit about Needle and Brush Art Co.
I’m Cory McMahon — artist, sign painter, and tattooer. Art has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up around drag racing and hot rods sparked my obsession with custom paint, creativity, and craftsmanship. I started by sketching cars as a kid, which naturally led me into pinstriping, hand lettering, and eventually, sign painting.
I had the chance to learn from legendary custom painters in California, an experience that opened the door to large-scale signs, murals, and the kind of hands-on work I love. That same passion eventually brought me to tattooing — a challenging and deeply rewarding art form that’s taken me places I never expected.
In April 2025, my wife Samantha and I opened Electric Eagle Tattoo located on the square in Mountain Home, Arkansas, a shop built on craftsmanship, respect for tradition, and creating bold, lasting work. Samantha keeps the wheels turning and I handle the tattoos.
When I’m not tattooing, I’m out painting signs, lettering vehicles and taking on mural work with Needle and Brush Art Co. Whether it’s tattooing or painting, both sides of my work are driven by the same purpose- to create honest, handcrafted work and a level of quality that’s built to stand the test of time.
