I had my first and so far only tattoo done here. I was very worried before getting it done because i wanted to go somewhere hygienic and that had a reputation of being the best. A woman did mine and although she wasn't exactly sympathetic to my fear of getting it done (im sure you would get sick of all the ppl coming in and then backing out) she was very professional and ended up doing a fantastic job. The cohen brothers are the most well known at this studio, but i would definitely say that after watching others get theirs done by other tattoo artists that they all seemed to do an amazing job.

This is a great little gym. There are a variety of classes you can take and a wide selection of equipment you can use. This is a great gym if you don't want to be over crowded and have a good workout without being disturbed by people waiting to use equipment etc. Does not provide quite the same extent of equipment and classes as say fitness first but is still a great place to work out if this suits you.

Approximate cost: $18

This place has a sign outside claiming it has the best seafood - and it really does! Their seafood basket or grilled calamari salad are to die for. I haven't tried anything from here that I have not enjoyed 100%. Definitely worth a try!

This medical centre used to do bulk billing - which was the only reason why i would put up with the horrific conditions. I had to go a few times and each time the wait was impossibly long, luckily i live close by so i could go home in between waiting - otherwise one time i would have been there for four hours, each time i checked in they assured me it would be no longer than another hour. This would not be such a big problem if then the doctors were up to par. But the ones i have been to have practically asked me to diagnose myself. It is no longer bulk billing - there is a $30 non refundable fee charged which ends up being the same as my good doctor after i get medicare rebate. I definitely would not recommend this to anyone unless perhaps you were advised of a particular doctor who has a good reputation there.

Create does the best chai lattes. It is part of chai train so they're the ones that taste like you're eating a doughnut. Not the cheapest but its great for a coffee and catch up with friends

This is great for the guys. Harry Hair Salon does guys hair cuts for only $10. They don't understand english very well though so if you're going for something specific this might not be for you. But for a good quality and super cheap cut this is definitely a great place to check out.

I use this as my regular Thai takeout. There are a million Thai Restaurants around Chatswood so there is no lack of choice that's for sure. Yum Yum offers the great quality of food as well as slightly cheaper prices than similar ones near by. The man who owns the place is very involved and is always happy to accommodate to whatever you may need. They will deliver at any price for just $2 (or free over $25) which most places refuse to do. They are also open on all the public holidays so you are never short of having a great feed when all the other shops are closed.

This is a great little Chinese Restaurant located at Skyline shops in Frenchs Forest. Their dishes always taste amazing and their prices are fairly reasonable as well. Although sometimes the service can be a little off (not by the girl serving you but the owners themselves are often unwilling to offer that little bit more to satisfy unhappy customers) the food is always great.

I would recommend Martine Walker as a great doctor who is very experienced and knows what she is talking about. Especially for women she always makes you feel comfortable in whatever it is that you may be there for. Although it is not necessarily cheap, sometimes it is necessary to pay the extra money to get good quality service.

Come here all the time with friends. Their best deals are steaks, schnitzel and chicken parma. Such a good serving of food and I don't think I have ever been disappointed by the quality. For the price I don't think you would be able to complain anyway!

Approximate cost: $8 - $10
