Fine line, script and micro-realism tattoos in La Jolla
Ruby works at Bay Ink's La Jolla studio on Girard Avenue. Alongside fine line and micro-realism, she tattoos script and lettering, from a single word to a full phrase, plus realism. Her portfolio on this page includes fine line peonies and roses, script names and phrases in English and Spanish, blackletter lettering, a fine line sternum piece, a disco ball, a balloon dog in micro-realism, daggers, and a moon-phase piece on the ribs. Ruby is one of Bay Ink's fine line artists.
Planning a fine line or script tattoo with Ruby
Fine line and script need the right size to stay readable as they heal. Ruby will help you choose a size and placement that keeps your lettering and detail clear. Send your idea, the exact wording or references, the placement and an approximate size through the tattoo request form, or book a consultation with Ruby.
Questions about tattoos with Ruby
Does Ruby De Leon do script tattoos?
Yes. Ruby tattoos script and lettering in fine line, including names and phrases, and her portfolio shows script in English and Spanish as well as blackletter.
What is micro-realism?
Micro-realism is realism at a small scale: detailed, shaded images such as animals, objects or faces, sized for areas like the forearm or upper arm. The detail needs enough room to hold, so Ruby will advise you on scale.
