"My first tattoo with Ruby was truly amazing! I was very nervous about getting inked, but Ruby's professionalism, experience and passion for her work made me feel very comfortable. Thanks to her excellent tattooing technique, it was surprisingly painless. Ruby did a scar cover up for me and the transformation is phenomenal!! I could not have envisioned a better outcome. I love my tattoo, which will be life changing since the scars are completely covered. I highly recommend Ruby for your tattooing needs. So grateful to Ruby, she rocks!."

"Ruby was so wonderful! I love, love, love the tattoo I got from her -- it's definitely the highest quality tattoo I have! She was so great to talk to, one of the sweetest people EVER, and took her time to make sure I was doing okay throughout the process. If you'd not only like a beautiful piece of artwork on your body forever, but also a really awesome day - she is the artist for you! Thanks again Ruby!!"

"Ruby Gore is the most amazing tattoo artist, and the only one I will use. When you finish your appointment(s), you have a piece of museum (frankly better than museum) quality art on your skin. Need I say more?

If her skill and her talent is not enough to convince you to reach out to her for your tattoo, let me walk you through an experience which will leave you with no doubt about who your next, and last artist will be.

Once you have an appointment, you arrive and are buzzed in to a great location (this is for Houndstooth in Philly). The building has amazing atmosphere, great details, and wonderful lighting. There is an open waiting area, with comfortable chairs, and interesting art on the walls (in case you arrive early). Ruby will great you, and bring you back to her booth. She will want to go over your design, make sure you are happy with it, and discuss any changes needed. Once she has a design agreed upon with you, she’ll print it out and place it on your body. She’ll go over whether or not you like the placement, size, and details. When you confirm what you want, she prints out the trace. She’ll prep the area (shave it, wipe it down, etc.). Then she methodically places it. It’s amazing. She lined up an existing piece of mine with the new additions and it was FLAWLESS. Once the trace is on, she’ll work with you to get you in a position to ink. She’ll make sure you’re comfortable, if you need anything. (Is it cold? Want the heating pat? Need more pillows? Etc.). Then she starts her work. She’ll check in with you throughout the process and is happy to chat with you. If you prefer music/podcasts, you can listen to those too on your headphones. Basically, Ruby makes sure you are comfortable. As for the actual inking? Ruby is a light touch, and the actual machine is quite quiet.

If you go with Ruby, I can damn near guarantee you the best tattoo experience you’ll ever have. Amazing skill, gorgeous creations, wonderful company, excellent care, and a damn near perfect experience (tattoos hurt, hence damn near). Ruby is the only artist I will go to, and once you go with her…she’ll be your artist for life too."

"Ruby has been tattooing me for 4+ years now. She is a very kind, fantastic tattoo artist. She always creates a comfortable environment to get tattooed. Ruby only creates beautiful tattoos - if you have an idea that won’t translate/age well, she’ll steer you to an even better idea. I get compliments everywhere I go on my tattoos from Ruby."

"I had such a wonderful experience with Ruby. From the moment she came to greet me at the door to the time I left her studio I knew I was in good hands. While this was not my first tattoo(or second, or eighth) I was a bit nervous as she was covering up some scars. She was able to put my mind at ease and I was so comfortable during our session I almost fell asleep. Great studio, great day great artist. I am counting down the days I can go back for round 2!!"

"This is my 5th tattoo and my best experience yet. Not only is Ruby extremely talented in her work, but it's completely different than a typically run tattoo parlour. It's a total one-on-one experience. Instead of sitting in a usually noisy atmosphere where it can feel like the tattoo studio is trying to buzz as many clients out as possible, you are Ruby's only client that day. Her studio is a safe place, beautifully decorated, and immediately calming. Ruby shows you the design that she's dreamed up for your tattoo and works with you, in case you have any concerns regarding the design. She has the lightest hand I've experienced for outlining. So even though she worked 5 hours that day (total goddess) I hardly had any pain or discomfort. When Ruby started the shading process, she used this FABULOUS numbing spray that really helped. She's very professional, extremely clean, and her shop is fully sanitized. I felt completely at ease during the whole day. I'm about to book my next session to finish and I am very excited. Do not hesitate to book with this artist. You will not be disappointed. Thanks Ruby!"

"At the age of 53 I FINALLY decided to get a tattoo. I had researched many tattoo artists previously but none of them had fit 100% with what I was looking for style-wise. It was my good fortune that Ruby had recently expanded her business to a Toronto. She patiently walked me through the process, what to expect, etc. She created an original tattoo based on my ideas and far surpassed my expectations with her artwork. The piece is absolutely stunning and I’m sure she will be seeing more of me in the future! Ruby is a professional who takes her craft seriously. I’m am highly recommending her to all of my friends and family."

"Easily the best tattoo studio. Ruby is a phenomenal, thoughtful (and gentle!) artist, she went above and beyond to create a safe and comfortable space. The private studio was clean and relaxing and the one on one experience is especially wonderful. I knew she would create the tattoo of my dreams, but spending an afternoon hanging out with Ruby in the most welcoming studio was even better."
