Est. Liverpool, 2018
More Than Just A Tattoo Studio
Ghost Ship was built to challenge the industry standard. A private, artist-led space where the experience is valued just as much as the ink.
Our Origins
We dropped anchor in Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle with a simple mission: to move away from the “conveyor belt” style of street shops. We wanted to create a sanctuary.
Traditional tattoo shops can be intimidating. Loud music, ego, and a rush to get you in the chair. At Ghost Ship, we slow it down. We believe that getting a tattoo is a ritual, a permanent change to your body that deserves respect, time, and a calm environment.

The Pirate’s Code
We don’t just follow industry standards; we set them. These are the core values that every member of our crew lives by.
Artistry Above All
We are artists first, tattooers second. We never copy-paste designs from the internet. Every piece is drawn from scratch, custom-fitted to your anatomy.
Hospital Grade
We utilize single-use disposables for everything. Our autoclave procedures and cross- contamination protocols exceed local council requirements. Safety is non-negotiable.
Safe Harbour
Ghost Ship is an inclusive space. We welcome all bodies, skin tones, and genders. We have private rooms available upon request for sensitive placements or anxiety.
The Atmosphere
Forget the sterile, clinical feel of a doctor’s office or the chaotic noise of a street shop.
Curated Playlists
Relaxing lo-fi and acoustic vibes to keep heart rates low.
Refreshments
Complimentary coffee, herbal teas, and sugary snacks for blood sugar management.
Aftercare Support
We don’t just kick you out. You leave with a full care package and 24/7 access to advice.
The Crew
Our artists aren’t just employees; they are independent residents who have dedicated their lives to their specific style. From Japanese Irezumi masters to Micro-realism specialists, we have curated a team that covers every corner of the map.
