ALL ARTISTS MANAGE THEIR BOOKINGS

Every tattooist at Ship Shape Tattoo manages their bookings and appointments. With this in mind, please get in touch with your preferred artist to discuss your idea and next steps.

EMAIL-ONLY

Please make all enquiries and manage your bookings via email. Our artists, or their assistants, actively monitor their inboxes and sticking to one contact method means they can keep all information in one place. 

Here's a list of email addresses:

Ben Kaye
Jason Baker
Matt Jordan
Matt Wilson
Benjamin Hawley
Ash Ryan
Mish
Old Mate Tattoo
Abbey Manson Will Hall

GIVE US AS MUCH DETAIL AS POSSIBLE

When sharing your idea with us over email, please include as much detail as possible. For example:

Description — explain your idea in detail to give us a clear explanation of your vision.

Reference images — provide pictures of designs and aesthetics you want to replicate.  

Body placement and size — indicate the size you want your piece to be on a clear view of the body area. 

Style — let us know if you prefer colour or black and grey.

SOME ARTISTS MAY PRIORITISE CERTAIN PIECES OR REFER YOU TO SOMEONE ELSE

Due to steady workloads, some of our artists may prioritise certain pieces from their inspiration galleries or large-scale work. They may also refer you to another artist if they are better suited to help you with your idea.

We appreciate your understanding in these instances.

We love talking tattoos, and We pride ourselves on exceptional work.

If you have an idea, please get in touch. We'd love to hear from you. And take comfort in the knowledge our artists will always tell you if they feel someone else is better suited to bringing your next piece to life.
