Shop Vibe

Inside the Parlor

A calm, antique, witchy studio filled with custom work, oddities, and warm vintage details.

The Parlor

Antique warmth, custom work, and a little mystery.

Ruby Tattoo is a calm, open, and welcoming tattoo shop with a vintage antique witchy vibe. The studio blends custom tattooing with the feeling of an old parlor: dark walls, ornate frames, oddities, tarot details, soft lighting, and a relaxed atmosphere where clients can feel comfortable.

Our artists create custom work across many tattoo styles, from delicate pieces to bold statement tattoos. Ruby Tattoo is also home to award-winning artists, giving clients a professional experience without the cold or intimidating shop feeling.

Alongside tattooing, we also carry a rotating collection of oddities, curiosities, wet specimens, taxidermy, and other strange little treasures.
