We've Got A's for Your Q's

Can I gift one of the sessions to someone else?
Yes — you can gift either the paid or the free session. However, only the person purchasing will receive the Founder’s Club Package and lifetime perks.
Can I purchase more than one package?
Yes. There’s no limit on how many session packages you can purchase. Just remember: only the buyer receives the Founder’s perks.
What happens after I purchase?
You’ll receive a confirmation email with everything you need — including a private scheduling link to book your first session, details about your Founder’s Club perks, and what to expect leading up to your appointment. You’ll also be able to reach out directly with any questions. 
I'm not in Portland, can I still sign up?
Yes, as long as you're able to travel for your appointments. All sessions must take place at Black Thorne Tattoo in Portland, OR. This offer doesn't apply to any other locations.
Can I bring my own idea?
Absolutely. Every tattoo I create is custom, designed in collaboration with you and grounded in my style — botanical, floral, pet portraits, scar cover-ups, and illustrative realism. Sessions are one-on-one in a private space, created to help you feel safe, seen, and supported throughout the process.
Do I need to use both sessions right away?
Not at all. You can schedule your sessions at your own pace — whether back-to-back or spaced out over time.

Experiences That Speak for Themselves

“This experience went above and beyond what I ever could have expected... Ruby handled a memorial tattoo with the utmost care and compassion, while comprehensively navigating the complexities that come with covering up self-harm scars. This is an experience I will deeply cherish.”

“What sets Ruby apart is not just her incredible work, it’s the way she creates such a great experience and warm atmosphere. Whether you have a million questions or emotional reasons behind your tattoo, she approaches sessions with patience and understanding. I can’t recommend her enough.”

“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.”
