High Art Tattoo

Ruby is the best!!!! She is a great person to go to if you want a true professional to complete your work. Wonderful experience. Her shop is also cool AF and a very relaxing environment to be in.

Ruby Croak designed and completed a coverup tattoo for me on my inner forearm. She also tattooed both of my wife’s watercolor pieces on her shoulders and arms. We had gotten several tattoos prior to seeing Ruby so we weren’t new to tattooing but after seeing Ruby we realized we were in fact new to being tattooed by an ARTIST. Of all the tattoos we have, the ones we’re always complemented on were done by Ruby. Her reputation for watercolor brought my wife and I from Sacramento, CA to get tattooed in Los Angeles, CA and it’s the best decision we could’ve made. She has an eye for details and is very passionate about the work she puts on your body. Her tattoos have healed amazingly. They literally look better as they’ve aged. Pure master class in tattooing. So honored to wear her art and we’ll be back for more. Highly recommend!!! Tattoos we’ve gotten: Red Panda, Watercolor Lion and an Elephant escaping the circus.

Raul is soo light handed...its as if the hands of baby cherubs are baptizing your skin. I will definitely return!

Professional, experienced, knowledgeable tattoo artists are all you’ll find here. Great people all around. Won’t let another place touch my sleeve.

Raul is definitely my go to person for my tattoos, he’s done 5 of my tattoos including a cover up and did an amazing job! The shop is also very nice and is a great vibe

Hands down the best ! I don’t want to go anywhere else. The staff is A-1 … best tat ever.

Ruby is a very talented artist and a consummate professional. 5 stars.

Customer service is trash. I called to ensure a piercer was available to input my tragus jewelry that fell out. The person who answered the phone assured me they did, so I advised I was heading over. I get to the shop and walked in, and the same person I spoke to on the phone advised me I would have to wait an hour and come back. This could've have been avoided if it had been explained over the phone. Just a lack of care and unprofessional!

Awesome work!

Very professional and good work!

If you’re in the Los Angeles area and thinking about a great tattoo, you have to hit High Art Tattoo Gallery in the Mid-City area. High Art is an unassuming shop packed with talent. Ruby Croak, the owner, created my piece and also did an amazing job with my partner’s as well. Ruby is a no-nonsense artist with a talent for interpretation who’ll give it to you straight while honoring your vision. She does exceptional black and gray, can rock watercolor and has examples of nearly everything in between. If you can imagine it, they can create it. I spent several hours in Ruby’s chair and it’s easy to tell why she’s won awards for her work. She’s efficient, patient and a perfectionist. She listens to your questions, concerns and ideas and addresses each one. And the shop is in no way intimidating to newbies or females, like many testosterone-heavy shops can. This is a bright, quirky spot where anyone should feel comfortable. Prices at High Art are fair and worth literally every cent. And trust me, the saying is true – once you’ve dipped your toe in the world of tattoo art, you’ll find it hard to stop. A day at Ruby’s Hight Art Tattoo Gallery will guarantee it.

Ruby is a truly talented tattoo artist who understands and practices her craft with confidence and ease... and is 100% professional. She's responsive in the inquiry and scheduling process and when you get in front of her, she listens and based on experience and expertise will work with you to create a design you're going to absolutely love, truly appreciate and show off, for sure. In 2 years, I've had two tattoos by Ruby. One is a ring tattoo and the other is a custom heart chakra, positioned just below my sternum. Ruby's line work, watercolor work, pointillism and saturation are that of someone who has a strong grasp on the multitude of techniques utilized in tattoo design and application. I've followed her work and seen in her social media posts and in-house portfolio that she has not only developed but mastered the skillset she possesses and has the proficiency to design and execute any style. Ruby is fearless in her art and is surprisingly modest, yet rightfully proud, of her work and will walk a client through any question or challenge that may present. In a recent visit to her shop last month, I was witness to an extraordinary event. A young artist stopped in looking for an apprenticeship opportunity. While Ruby wasn't actively seeking an apprentice and didn't have any opportunities available at the time, she took the time to provide the soon-to-be artist a wealth of tips, ideas and insight into the business. She gave this prospective newcomer to the field such a remarkable gift in sharing her experience and wisdom so this artist could have additional resources, expectations and perspective of what's to come. When you get a tattoo, it's a very personal commitment and process. And the person you choose to work with you, design the art that will ultimately speak your language and carry your message that will remain with you for a lifetime should be a person you respect and trust. You're selecting and inviting that person into your world, even if for just

Amazingly talented artists where you can be exactly who you are meant to be! Can't wait to get my chest done with Ruby!
