He is the co-founder at New Mexico Guild of Ethical Tattoo Artist and owner at Archetype Tattoo.

Apart from this, he is also working as a host at Art Fusion to promote the practice of ethical tattooing in New Mexico. It is his love for tattooing that he even raised his voice against the New Mexico Tattoo regulation to highlight the illegal and unlicensed practicing of Tattooing.

Ben Shaw makes use of the right techniques while tattooing to practice this art in a hygienic environment. He even decided to take the help of Sen. Jacob Candelaria in drafting Senate Bill 275. He succeeded in his attempts and SB 275 bill passed the New Mexico legislature.
