Chris Ross

Tattoo Artist

Hi, I’m Chris, and I’ve been deeply immersed in the art of tattooing since 2014. My creative journey initially began in the world of design and engineering, where I honed my understanding of structure, precision, and complex composition. However, my passion for more tangible, lasting art led me to transition into the world of tattooing, a move that allowed me to apply those technical problem solving skills to a living canvas and connect with people on a more personal level.

My career truly took off right here in Edinburgh, where I established my foundational skills at Jazz Tattoo. It was there that I discovered the profound impact that tattoos can have, not just as art but as a form of personal expression. Now, I am proud to bring that experience and dedication to HeartShip Tattoos. This studio is not just a business it’s a creative sanctuary where we pour our hearts into every piece of work.

While I have a particular passion for the technical precision of Realism and the bold, dynamic storytelling of traditional Japanese designs, I thrive on the diversity and challenge of all styles. I am an artist who enjoys variety, and I find immense joy in creating tattoos that resonate with my clients’ unique stories and personalities. My approach is always collaborative I believe the best tattoos are born from a dialogue between the artist and the client, where ideas merge to create something truly unique.

At HeartShip Tattoos, every tattoo is more than just ink on skin it’s a piece of art that reflects both the client’s individuality and my commitment to craftsmanship. Whether you’re looking for a highly detailed realism piece, a traditional Japanese sleeve, or a completely different style altogether, I’m here to help you bring your vision to life.
