Floral Tattoo FAQs

Do you do birth flower tattoos?
I love creating personalized birth flower tattoos! Each design is botanically accurate and custom-drawn to reflect your birth month's flower. Whether you want a delicate fine-line birth flower or a bold statement piece, I work with you to create something uniquely yours. Many clients choose to combine multiple birth flowers to represent family members or loved ones.
how long does a floral tattoo take?
Floral tattoo timing depends on size and detail level. Small fine-line floral tattoos (2-3 inches) typically take 1-2 hours, while larger botanical pieces can take 3-6 hours or multiple sessions. As one of Portland's floral tattoo specialists, I prioritize quality over speed to ensure every petal and leaf is perfectly detailed. During your consultation, I'll provide an accurate time estimate based on your specific design.
Can you add color to a black and grey floral tattoo?
Absolutely! Color can be added to existing black and grey floral tattoos. We'll assess your current tattoo during a consultation to determine the best approach. Whether adding subtle watercolor touches or full realistic coloring, I ensure the new elements complement your existing work perfectly.

“After living with chronic pain and trauma, I wanted to tell my story through tattoos. Ruby was the perfect fit — she developed amazing pieces through my input and storytelling. I now have two full sleeves and a chest piece by her. 130 hours later, I can guarantee you an amazing experience and beautiful art.”
