CLIENT REVIEWS

“Was in Sydney travelling from the States. Stopped by the shop in Surry Hills and was blown away. 10/10 gotta be one of the coolest shops I’ve ever been to. Everyone is super kind that works there. Got some really awesome pieces from Charles Walsh. If you want a tattoo that’s going to be perfect and done by someone who loves what they do, then I couldn’t recommend Charles more. He is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet, the passion he has for the art is top notch. Excellent experience, 5 stars all the way through. Better take your asses to Tattoo Rosies!!! Thanks again y’all.”

“I recently came up from Melbourne to get tattooed by Charles which should say enough about him and the shop.

First of all Charles is a top tier tattooer slinging, (I would argue) some of the best classic American traditional tattoos in Australia. Extremely kind and nice person who makes you feel very comfortable.

The shop is amazing and the team there are very welcoming and super nice people.

I look forward to my next time coming back!”
