Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Black Thorne Tattoo located?
As the newest private tattoo shop in Portland Oregon, Black Thorne Tattoo is located at 419 SE 13th Avenue in the historic Buckman neighborhood. We're proud to join Portland's vibrant tattoo community alongside established studios like Wonderland Tattoo, Atlas Tattoo, and Icon Tattoo.
What makes Black Thorne Tattoo different from other Portland tattoo shops?
As one of the best Oregon tattoo artists, Ruby Gore brings 10 years of experience to her private studio setting. While Portland has many excellent tattoo options, Black Thorne Tattoo offers an intimate, one-on-one experience that sets it apart from traditional shop environments.
Do you only tattoo in Portland?
While Black Thorne Tattoo is our primary PDX tattoo location, Ruby Gore is also a resident guest artist at Houndstooth Tattoo in Philadelphia and does Seattle tattoo guest spots throughout the year, serving the broader PNW tattoo community. Follow our social media or join our newsletter for announcements about guest appearances and availability.
What styles and services do you offer?
As an established Portland tattoo artist, Ruby is well known for her scar cover-up tattoos and specializes in custom tattoo designs in various subject matters such as flower tattoos, scientific tattoos, bird tattoos, and nature tattoos. Ruby exclusively uses vegan tattoo supplies and inks, making Black Thorne a trusted choice for Portland vegan tattoo enthusiasts.
How do I book an appointment?
Black Thorne Tattoo operates by appointment only. We recommend starting with reviewing our Booking Process to ensure it's a good fit before submitting your custom tattoo design idea. We're often listed among the best tattoo shops in Portland due to our personalized approach to each project.
