Hello My name is Ruben Barahona i’m a tattoo artist based in New York City, thank you for visiting my website and considering me to contribute to your tattoo collection. Whether you're looking to get your first tattoo or you're an experienced collector, I'm thrilled at the opportunity to create something unique for you. I take care of all the details, from crafting hand-drawn designs to ensure placement and size to complement your body shape, and ultimately executing the artwork precisely. Sometimes, when the piece requires, I create tattoos freehand to avoid distortion when designs wrap around the curves of the body.

Drawing on my academic background in oil painting, I specialize in creating characters, depicting places, narrating stories, and evoking emotions through each tattoo. You have the option to select from my extensive collection of drawings in my style, or collaborate with me to bring your own ideas to life. I can faithfully reproduce any specific image that holds significant meaning to you. Below, you'll find samples of my work.

As my artistic practice spans across various mediums including oil painting, sculpture, and pen and ink, my portfolio is always evolving. Be sure to check my Instagram for the latest additions.
