The Darling Parlour

Hey! I wanted to say a huge thank you to the Darling Parlour Team for their support and assistance with my tattoo repair and complete re design. In particular to the wonderful Habby, my tattooist, who is simply amazing.her attention to detail, artistic brilliance and technical experience is world class.i have come across a few tattooist's in my time. Habby is by far the best. She is so talented and is a perfectionist with Intricate line work that is so clean and detailed. Shading and Positioning and Contouring. The best. She is quick and she produces outstanding results. Do yourself a favour and check out the Darling Parlour Tattoo team. It is a husband-and-wife team based in Balmain Sydney, and their clinic has a really good positive energy and feel and is clean and professionally managed.it is on another level.i will go as far as to say the best in Sydney! Trust Me. You will be amazed. Thank you Habby for so much. You are a true Artist and a Tattoo Professor. Thank you Moses and Team. Much Love. Alen:). X

Great shop! I spent the day there yesterday getting tattooed by Bryan, he is a great guy to work with, his work is neat and clean, he is thorough, and very hard working - tattooed me for about 7 hours: marathon man. The staff I interacted with at the shop were great. I had a chat with Habby about some tricky questions my wife has and she was pleased to help. Great location, relaxed friendly atmosphere, I will be back soon. Big thumbs up for Bryan, great artist, and in my experience this is a great shop.

Had my first tattoo session with Habby yesterday. She's extremely talented, fun and great to work with. Accomodated all my requests with a smile. Everything was awesome about the experience and I was made very welcome by everyone at Darling Parlour. Will be back to complete my sleeve soon!

Have been tattooed here 3 times by Ginger and he nails it every time! Clean, friendly studio with a great vibe. Lots of (paid) street parking available as well as a small free 2 hour carpark.

I can't speak for every artist at the darling parlour tattoo, the one I was booked in with was the pits. I booked well in advance with pictures of my skin colour and the design I wanted.

I was concerned about the limitation of what colours are possible on my skin and sent them pictures of my hand with a measurement tape next to the area where I wanted it tattooed. All i got from them was the booking availabilities and details for paying the deposit.
I rock up on the day, the artist comes to me with a design that wasn't what was requested and tells me with my skin colour, even what she had drawn will be tough, but she'll give it a red hot go. I'm assuming she thought I'll just accept the design she made and be happy that she gave it her all.

I travelled thirty minutes to get there to do a tattoo as a homage to my dog, considering tattoos are permanent, a discussion in advance on what would work would have been nice, but telling someone we'll give it a good go, doesn't fill you with confidence.

So i accepted my forfeited $150 dollar discount to some bad karma and left the place as I did not want
someone's " I tried my best" effort on my hand forever.

Had my first visit there as a walk-in and these ladies are absolutely beautiful, funny and welcoming. I gave them a couple reference photos of what I wanted and they drew up something even better than what I could’ve expected. Highly recommend, I’ll definitely be back for more!

Just had a tattoo done by Ginger and I'm very happy with it. He spent time to perfect the design and then was very quick, efficient and accurate. All things you look for when you get a tattoo and that can only come from someone with not only experience but a natural artist. Thank you Ginger x Grace

Nat was amazing, a fantastic artist and so down to earth. The artists in the shop are friendly and welcoming, they are professional, helpful and patient. I left so so so happy with my tattoo and will definitely go back for my next ones. They have rotating artists and can accommodate quite quickly for an appointment as well! Thanks so much!

I cannot recommend these guys enough. Nat worked really hard to make sure I was happy with my coverup and added so much detail. Also great aftercare.

Very professional and friendly staff,
Jess was my tattooist, Brilliant artist and great understanding.

Had my first tattoo here, was super nervous but thr staff made me feel so welcome and were really lovely. The place was really clean and the tattoo turned out amazing

Such a nice place! Super lovely staff who are very conscious of their customers. Offered fruit, icy poles and lots of breaks when needed! Deffs recommend

What a legendary place. Super friendly, great vibe, clean. Plenty of great art to feast your eyes on. Loads of nearby cafes for snacks before, during, and after. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you Habby!

Habby was very friendly and helpful when i visited The Darling Parlour Tattoo
#wonderful experience

The Darling Parlour is an amazing shop and i have had a wonderful experience each time I have visited. The shop is clean and the team are all kind, always friendly and professional. The very talented Habby was very accommodating and made me feel comfortable through the entire process and I was very pleased with the final job. I can't recommend this shop enough to all my friends and family!

I had visited Darling Parlour about a month ago to receive a tattoo from their guest artist Bobby (@monkeybob_ttt), whom I had my eye on for a while as he is from the very talented Seoul Ink Tattoo studio in Korea. Being the great artist that he is, he definitely maintained his standards when featuring at Darling Parlour that is packed with other extremely talented and friendly artists. I loved their environment and how helpful they were to each other as fellow artists. The tattoo I received was flawless and despite insisting that I message him in case of any issues with aftercare, I actually didn't have to since he did such a good job and the healing process was unproblematic. I am glad he was a guest at such a great tattoo parlour and am excited to return whether it is to see Bobby or any of the other amazing resident artists there.

I just received a tattoo from Sasha and she was absolutely brilliant. We went back and forth a few times during the design process, and Sasha took a lot of time and patience in perfecting the design. Her integrity as an artist and knowing how my tattoo would age was her priority and that made me so comfortable and confident I would be getting a great tattoo. And she definitely delivered! I’m very happy with the final product.

Had habby as my artist. I’m extatic the tattoo is exactly how I wanted, and she did it in no time. I’m obsessed!

My mate and myself called and they were able to get us in within 15 minutes, such great and welcoming team! Our tattoos didn’t even take that long which was awesome, overall fantastic experience!

I’ve come here for a few tattoos, the staff is lovely and Beth is my artist she does a great job, affordable too!
