Fabulous tattoo shop for my first tattoo! I got my first tattoo here a few weeks ago and this was a…read moregreat place to go. I was originally going to go to another place down the street but I had a change of plans and that one was closed on that day (Monday) and while I was already in the city I decided to just go ahead and got my tattoo. I called this place last minute as a walk-in and the lady at the front was super nice and accommodating. I studied abroad in Sydney for four months and I wanted to get a tattoo commemorating my time in Australia before I left back to the US later that week. And I LOVE my small single line kangaroo. This place is HARD to find and actually within an apartment building so you have to buzz in first once you find the door located street side in between shops and restaurants. The building had such a great vibe with graffiti EVERYWHERE and once you get to the fifth floor where the shop is located there's a beautiful outdoor section with a walkway and more graffitied walls. It's an incredible find. Can't remember the name of the guy who tattooed me, but it was a quick and simple tattoo sesh!

I loved this shop! I always get a tattoo if other countries I visit, so I researched different…read moretattoo shops in Sydney and after looking through Instagram the work here was the best! I got mine done by Dan Rhoades. I gave a general design and asked for him to spruce it up and he made it so amazing. He was very accommodating and asking throughout the process how much shading I want. I am EXTREMELY happy about my tattoo.

Rose took me as a walk-in and gave me my best tattoo yet. Great place with great artists!read more

My friend and I had a great time talking with the staff while getting our small tattoos done. I didn't catch the name of the guy who did the tattoos but he did such a great job.

Tattooists are great and well, not that I even expected them to be friendly, but they do the job…read moreand they do it well. I'm not thrilled by the chick in the front though. Sorry I'm not covered in tattoos, but that didn't mean she can be condescending, and roll her eyes at me. Also, sorry, but glad wrap is NOT dressing. Gauze is dressing. Would you go in for surgery and have glad wrap put on your stitches? No. So, when I say oh, I've just got glad wrap on it, there's really no need to roll your eyes. Anyhoo, mini rant. Maybe she was just having a bad day, and honestly if I were going to get any more tattoos, I'd go back there. I wouldn't trust any other shop to touch me.

Do yourself a favour!! If you want an awesome tattoo visit this shop. Check out the work of Tong or…read moreMr ping pong. Book ahead as these guys are real artists and are busy. I got my second tattoo here and have already booked another. Super clean and great staff. I can't recommend this shop enough.

OUTSTANDING !!! Yes, this place is worth the caps in every aspect. Lets get straight to it then -…read morehere are the reasons why: 1. Location, location location. It's at the quieter end of King St in Newtown so for me, accessibility and parking is a priority - TICK. 2. Feel of the place walking in - front of desk staff are super friendly and beyond helpful - TICK. 3. Tattooers are highly skilled and its clearly obvious with some of the work they have showcased around the place. 4. SUPER clean ... and by clean I mean, hospital grade clean - thats what you want to see!! 5. My guy (Jimmy) was hands down, an absolute pleasure to deal with (and what a smile) - whats even better? Turns out we had mutual friends - love it when connections like this occur. I will be recommending this studio to all I know who not only want a tattoo, but want a pleasant experience getting it done - I honestly cannot find a single negative thing to say about this place.

I have approached these guys with unusual requests and have never once felt like they were looking down their noses at me or judging me for wanting something weird (as I have in other places). This is pretty much the only place I will go to in Sydney now...Klaus has done 6 or 7 of my pieces, and he is very good at what he does, very open to discussing what works/what doesn't without being a douche about it, and super friendly. All their staff rank highly in professionalism, skill and friendliness...I have always felt really welcome there from the first time I set foot in the door which I think is important when a lot of other places can be intimidating. Their place is always clean too, which is nice to see. Oh, and they are really well-priced for how good their work is too! LDF4LIFE! :)

That's until you hear the buzzing sound of the tattoo machine. Behind the counter, I found a couple of people being tattooed by the artists with one of the artists asking if I needed help. Browsing through each artist, they all had different styles, from Japanese to traditional sailor. It'll cost you about $170-$200 per hour, which is the standard price. Well worth it if you're wanting a large piece.

The second time, they claimed the appointment wasn't at the time we scheduled it so we went home and planned to return at the appointment time. The third try.... the artist didn't show up.

Came to their Haymarket location since it's closer, but both times have been great. No appointment was needed, I rocked up and presented my design and was asked to wait 10 minutes for the artist to finish up. Though that could be because I got a really small tattoo that took about 5 minutes to do. Staff was friendly, as was the artist. My biggest gripe was the cost...$100 + $10 GST for $110. My tattoo is really small, (seriously, it's 1.2 cm x 1.2 cm) but it's the minimum charge. If you have a small tattoo I suggest you go elsewhere for a cheaper price, but they do a good job here.
