Our Team
Meet the Artists
TJ Cornelius
Owner & Tattoo Artist • 10+ years
TJ Cornelius is the heart behind Fallen Raven Tattoo Studio. His journey began over a decade ago in Nebraska, where he discovered that tattooing was more than art — it was a way to tell people's stories through ink. That passion drove him to open Fallen Raven, building a studio rooted in artistry, tradition, and genuine connection with every client who walks through the door. Whether it's a bold custom piece, a meaningful cover-up, or striking black and grey realism, TJ pours his craft and heart into every tattoo.
A Decade of Ink and Passion
Ten years ago, TJ began his journey in tattoo artistry, learning the craft under Cody Schneider at Scarlet Raven in Lincoln, Nebraska. It was there, surrounded by ink and creativity, that he discovered his calling and the foundation for a career built on skill, patience, and storytelling.
From Nebraska to South Carolina
After years of honing his style, TJ made the leap to South Carolina. Here in Fountain Inn and Simpsonville he founded Fallen Raven — not just a tattoo shop, but a space where art meets personal stories and every client becomes part of the studio's growing community.
My Art, Your Story
TJ's approach to tattooing is simple: it's about you, your story, and how it can be expressed through art. Whether it's a detailed black and grey piece or something bold and colorful, each tattoo is a personal journey — and that's what makes the work meaningful.
Why Fallen Raven?
TJ founded Fallen Raven with a vision of creating more than tattoos — crafting experiences. It's about the connection, the conversation, and the satisfaction of watching an idea come to life on skin, made to last a lifetime.
Let's Create Something Together
If you're in Fountain Inn, Simpsonville, or anywhere in the Upstate and you're thinking about a tattoo, TJ is ready to help bring your ideas to life — one meaningful piece at a time.
