Welcome
My name is Ruuben. I am a tattoo artist/ mentor. I own 5D Studios in St. Louis Park, MN. Over the past 15 years, 9 of which I spent traveling the world tattooing. I’ve dedicated my life to learning the craft to push the boundaries of what’s possible in tattooing. My work has been featured in some of the most prestigious tattoo publications such as INKED and more around the globe.
My style blends Euro-Surrealism, High level large scale color realism with abstract calligraphy, graffiti, celestial themes, allowing me to offer truly one of a kind tattoos. I aim for the tattoos to become a conversation starter that are not only visually striking but conceptually deep.
I focus on taking on limited, high-quality projects that align with my artistic vision. My commitment to originality and craftsmanship ensures that every tattoo I create is a unique masterpiece designed exclusively for those who appreciate tattoos without limits.
In my spare time I like to travel to visit ancient sites, music festivals/production, painting, carving, crafting cologne/incense, jewelry and spending time in nature.
