CUSTOMER REVIEWS
“Amazing solid work by Ben Hastings, could not recommend Tattoo Rosies enough. From making and changing bookings, tattoo ideas/design, the tattoo itself and aftercare, it's always a positive experience from end-to-end. Another stand out is the shop culture. They make everyone feel welcome, relaxed and safe. Will keep going back again and again.”

“Been to a fair few tattoo shops in Sydney and without a doubt, Tattoo Rosies is world class. Clean environment, great atmosphere & an awesome energy amongst the artists. Special mention to Ben - an extremely talented/gifted artist whose skillset is only surpassed by his warm and friendly nature, top bloke!”

“I’ve gotten a few pieces done with Ben and every time I’m always super stoked with the finished product. It’s been super great being able to have his influence and style and I’m super happy to have stuck with him. I trust him to make a lot of the design decisions after I’ve given him the brief. Always super professional during the session too. Would highly recommend”

ABOUT BEN
Ben has dedicated the last 14 years of his life to tattooing. Before settling in Sydney and calling Rosies home, he spent years travelling and tattooing, an experience that helped shape both his style and inspiration.
He draws inspiration from traditional tattoo imagery, often referencing overlooked designs or revisiting the more challenging styles from earlier eras of tattooing. Ben’s style often combines references from different periods to create pieces that feel new while still maintaining the authenticity of classic tattooing. Recently, he has been enjoying pairing eastern-inspired backgrounds with a late ’80s and early ’90s western tattoo approach.
Ben is the proud owner and operator of Tattoo Rosies and is influenced by the tattooers around him. The shop and crew are his main source of motivation and inspiration and it’s what pushes him to be better every day.
Ben is grateful for his clients, friends and coworkers who have been part of his journey in tattooing. His goals for 2026 are to continue pushing hismelf creatively, support the growth of Tattoo Rosies and keep learning and growing as a tattooer.
Ben loves being a dad, vintage motorcycles and getting outdoors.
