Chris May

Born and raised in Cologne, Germany, Chris May brings a bold European flair and a deep passion for the craft of tattooing. He began tattooing professionally in 2019, following years of artistic exploration through graffiti and portrait sketching. This foundation in fine art has helped shape his distinctive style, which blends intricate detail with powerful visual storytelling.
Chris specializes in realism, surrealism, calligraphy, and blackwork, often working on large-scale tattoo concepts including sleeves, chest panels, back pieces, and full body suits. His approach is both technical and imaginative—every piece is thoughtfully designed to suit the flow of the body and tell a story that resonates with the wearer.
Gallery Tattoo is excited to have Chris at our shop, where he continues to push creative boundaries and bring client visions to life with precision and passion.
