You met Ruff at The Heretic 🐾

Well hello there.

If you’re reading this, something unusual just happened.

You tapped your phone to my hand and ended up here.

Yes, the chip is real.
No, you’re not the first person tonight to look confused when it worked.

Welcome to Ruff’s little corner of the internet.

So… who is Ruff?

Ruff is the chaos corgi behind ruffthe.dog.

Atlanta is my home base, and The Heretic is one of the places you’ll often find me out with the community. Whether it’s Pup Night, Bearracuda, or just a random night on the dance floor, this is one of those spaces where people come to be themselves and find their people.

I travel a lot and spend time in scenes around the world, especially Atlanta and London, but nights like this remind me why Atlanta will always feel like home.

Why does my hand scan?

Because it makes meeting people a little more memorable.

You just scanned one of the NFC implants in my hand. Your phone briefly powered the chip and it sent you to this page.

No batteries.
No tracking.
Just a tiny piece of tech and a fun way to say hello.

And let’s be honest… it’s a pretty good conversation starter.

If we met tonight

I’m glad you said hi.

Whether we talked on the dance floor, on the patio, or somewhere between songs, I’m always happy when a random interaction turns into a connection.

One last thing

If you see me again at The Heretic, come say hi.

And if someone asks how you got my contact info tonight…

You already know the answer.

You scanned my hand. 🐾
