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.

World-class talent, diverse styles. Find the perfect artist for your vision.

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?
