Liverpool’s Home for Custom Tattoo Art
Ghost Ship was founded on a simple principle: to elevate the tattoo experience. We stepped away from the traditional flash factory model to create a space dedicated entirely to custom, meaningful artwork.
The Pirate’s Code. Your body is a canvas, and we treat every piece with the respect, time, and dedication it deserves. Whether it’s a micro-realism portrait or a full back piece, our focus remains on execution, longevity, and hygiene.
First-timers
Nervous? We’ll guide you through every step in a calm, welcoming environment.
Collectors
Serious about your next piece? We specialise in large-scale, fully custom work.
Embarking on Your First Tattoo?
We know the first time can be intimidating. We’ve designed our entire process to ensure you feel informed, comfortable, and confident before the needle even touches ink. No judgment, no pressure.
Parley With Our Artists
Sit down with an artist, discuss your ideas, and figure out placement without any obligation to book.
Shipshape Hygiene
Our studio operates above hospital-grade sanitation standards. Your health and safety are our absolute priority.
Does Getting a Tattoo
Hurt?
Honest answer? Yes. But it is entirely manageable, and everyone’s tolerance is different. The sensation is often described as a continuous scratch.

Worried about pain?
Some clients choose to use numbing cream before their appointment
for larger pieces. Always check with your artist first , as it can affect
skin texture.
