About Ruby
Ruby Gore is a Philadelphia based tattoo artist. When there isn't a pandemic, you can find her traveling to do guest spots and tattoo conventions all over the world.
She combines her love for flora and fauna with her dark aesthetic to create beautifully haunting, whimsical tattoos and illustrations.
As a passionate Vegan and trauma-informed tattoo artist, Ruby specializes in and offers free cover-ups and scar cover-ups to clients who are recovering from self-harm and survivors of abuse where she hopes that her trauma survivor project "Out of the Darkness" shows how tattoos can be an important part of mental health recovery.

Ruby focuses her artwork on dark illustrative botanics; she is able to emphasize the mortality, both eternal and fleeting. Her glamorization of skulls, insects, flowers, animals and herbs, primarily in blackwork with an emphasis on clean lines, stippling and the occasional burst of bold antique colours are reminiscent of 1700’s scientific illustrators.
