Last month brought me the incredible honor of being interviewed by journalist Emily McCrary-Ruiz-Esparza about how I work to incorporate a trauma-aware approach into my tattooing. I was absolutely thrilled to learn that our conversation caught the attention of the Washington Post, marking a significant highlight in my journey to try and transform the experience of getting tattooed.

5/18/2021 0 Comments Interview with Philly TalksMy Background as an ArtisTMy name is Ruby Gore and I'm a tattoo artist here at Philadelphia Tattoo Collective. I specialize in scientific illustration and botanical blackwork. Ever since I was really little I've been an artist and I wanted to do something where I was going to be drawing. When I was 15, I told my parents I wanted to draw, and they were like "okay, well that's not a real career... so what are you really gonna do?
 How did you get your start as a tattoo artist?Well, I've been drawing since I was old enough to hold a pencil as my parents have always been very supportive of my interest in becoming an artist from an early age. I told them when I was a teenager that I wanted to be a tattoo artist, but they were a little concerned about their sweet little girl entering such a "tough and dangerous" industry back then.
