Christopher Gay is a tattoo artist whose work centres on American traditional. Of the 38 pieces on Perspectiv, 15 are American traditional, and new school and watercolor come up as well. About 68% of the pieces use colour, most often coral, dark red and mint; the rest are black and grey. Skull, garfield, rose and vase come up again and again. The forearm and the thigh are the usual placements. There are 30 healed pieces in the set, not just fresh work. Portfolio last updated September 2026.
