Had to re-ink a tatoo today with Brett . Super friendly environment and he explained me carefully to clear all my doubts and worry about my first tatoo which skin rejected some part of the ink. Ended up doing a new tatoo with the re-ink also.
Defenitely coming back for my third tatoo soon.
Thank you LDF .

A very warm and professional environment. Highly recommended for newbies and repeat customers (like myself). Professional and thorough tattoo artists. Cory's amazing and highly diverse. He is definitely an asset to the team at LDF Newtown.

LDF has such a great atmosphere. The artists are all brilliant and absolutely lovely people, they make you feel comfortable and are totally happy to answer any questions. The piece I got was impeccably done, and I didn't struggle through it all - the conversation and good music was a great distraction. 100% recommend LDF. Bonus points for the metal killer fish.

After browsing the artists' online portfolios and through multiple recommendations I booked in a consult and then a tattoo. My artist was Melanie and she made me feel comfortable and welcomed. The atmosphere was great, very friendly and of course clean and professional. My tattoo was a custom piece and is exactly what I had imagined - I am absolutely stoked with the outcome and would definitely go back!

Had my second tattoo done by Melanie. She was very professional and welcoming. The studio itself was clean and well presented, I was definitely in good hands. Would come back again in a heartbeat.

A friend recommended LDF in Newtown when I wanted my first tattoo done a few weeks ago. I was well greeted and felt comfortable straight away. The studio atmosphere is friendly and the artists I have personally met are all very talented and professional.
I had 3 tattoos done by Mel over a 3 week period and her work has been consistently excellent. I made an appointment to have a 4th tattoo done in a few days and I'm looking forward to it!
If you want quality professional service and value for your money... LDF is the place!
Thank you guys! Thank you Mel!

I was a walk in customer and was able to be tattooed straight away. As soon as I walked in I felt comfortable and relaxed which is important to me when I get a tattoo. All the staff were really down to earth and friendly. Cory was my artist and couldn't be happier with the result. The banter between the guys kept me laughing the whole time which made for a real enjoyable experience. Will certainly be back and recommend to anyone.

good quality, no long waiting for appointment, good artists, nice people! Price was okay as well.

My friend recommend me this place, when I was looking for a studio to get my second tattoo and I couldn't have had a better experience. Everyone ones really friendly and the tattoo quality is absolutely gold. Would definitely go here again.

Very happy, thank you! Walked in at 2pm on a Saturday fully expecting to get turned away but they made room for, downloaded my design and looked after me perfectly.

Gus is not only a good tattooist, he provides great customer service both over the phone and in person. He listened to me , gave me an estimate quote and booked in me in at short notice. When I arrives, he turned my rough drawing into a more beautiful script and design, doing it freehand. He checked the stencil placement was to my satisfaction before proceeding as well as his and was fast and accurate. Praised me for 'being a trooper' - I didn't flinch once. The place is clean and well looked after. I'm saving up to go back there to re-ink an old tattoo.... wouldn't go anywhere else.

I was treated very well with respect. I knew I was new to getting tattoos but they were very welcoming and helped my experience. I showed them what I wanted and they obliged. Because it was my first time, the guy (Cory) talked me through it and made sure I was calm and okay. It wasn't as painful an ordeal as I thought it'd be, but had I been a guy who's scared of needles, needless to say that Cory would have been a great guy to have around because he would say all the right things.

Approximate cost: $120

Everyone at the studio was friendly and welcoming. I took in my own design which has been recreated perfectly.
Brett (the artist) took the time to explain the colour choices he'd made, some of which enhanced the design. He constantly checked in to make sure I was ok, didn't rush and made me feel comfortable. I recommend LDF without hesitation.

Approximate cost: $350

The two people I talked to were Dom and the counter and Gus, who did my tattoo. They were so lovely, very patient, and made me feel so comfortable. Dom is just super sweet, and Gus was awesome and also did an incredible job on my tattoo. I'm so thrilled with the result, it was a great experience and I'm so happy I went to these guys. Would most definitely recommend LDF to anyone asking! Thank you Dom and Gus for everything :)

Approximate cost: $300

I felt very confident of the ability of the tattoo artist, Brett, throughout the entire experience. He was lovely to chat with and took a lot of time and care to ensure he was getting it right and that I was happy with what he was going to do. I am incredibly happy with the result!

Another lovely experience with the crew from LDF Tattoo. They are always very professional and friendly. It is definitely one of my favourite places to be. Cory is always professional and he is a very patient person. All of the staff are very flexible and courteous. I can't wait for my touch up and my next experience with the staff and business! I recommend it highly- the expertise, the atmosphere, the staff and the price are all SPOT ON!

Excellent tattooists. I got my second tattoo at LDF 3 weeks ago. Healed nicely but needed a touch up which was free of charge. The tattoo was fairly pricey but large and full colour and they are very professional. The only thing is that if you arrive early or on time you are kept waiting after they initially greet you however they are very thorough so worth waiting!

I have had to get two touch up's on my new tattoo since my original review posted in September 2014. Both touch up's were free, my tattooist Nick was very understanding and it helped that I told him about my cancer treatment last year in case it affected my tattoo. Nick even did some research and made enquires before my second touch up as it is rare to need two touch up's in a three month time frame. My tattoo has alot of block colour, particularly dark blue and was not cheap so initially I was upset about the painful touch up's and additional healing required. As it turns out perhaps I could have waited longer than 2 months after my stem cell transplant before getting the tattoo but everyone's skin and immune system responds differently. Nick said if I needed another touch up he would do it. I'm very impressed by that. I'm on chemo medication again for maintenance so if my tattoo starts to fade quickly again it maybe awhile after I'm off medication before I look at another touch up. Obviously I would prefer not to have another touch up. This is not a fault of LDF Tattoo, it could just be a combination of bad luck with my health and the dye. It's a shame given the cost but in terms of customer service, hygiene and professionalism I'm still very impressed.

I have had several friends rave on about and recommend LDF - jee they had a big reputation to live up to!! And of course LDF delivered. From the initial phone call to make a booking, right up until I walked out all LDF staff were professional, courteous and an absolute pleasure to deal with.

My mother and I went to LDF as first timers and were in to get matching cross tattoos as a joint present for our birthdays.

The lovely Nick looked after our entire process and was fantastic! Mum was really nervous and unsure of the whole process, and Nick did a wonderful job of ensuring mum remained informed and felt comfortable...and when she jumped off the tattoo table she had a massive grin on her face (as did I).

I could not recommend LDF highly enough. They are meticulously clean, customer service driven, friendly and professional in every way. Looking forward to going back for some more work!

Approximate cost: $180AUD

After reading endless positive reviews about LDF Tattoo online, i decided that i would my first tattoo done here, and they did not disappoint. Initial booking for my tattoo was easy! especially with the friendly staff. When it came to get my tattoo, my artist Cory was amazing. He was very helpful and i got the exact design that i wanted. He was very very friendly, and i will definitely be going back

Awesome tattoo done by Brett, very happy customer - friendly and relaxed atmosphere - happy to recommend, have other tattoos and now wouldn't go anywhere else for one :)

After being greeted by the super friendly shop manager, tattooist Mel consulted with me for over 60 minutes regarding layout and placement of my tattoo.
My overall experience was an amazing one, with friendly banter throughout the shop during my tattoo, I was made to feel like a member of the family.
The final product; an amazing tattoo with happy memories of having it done.
I cannot recommend this shop highly enough and will definitely be back for more.

I have been tattooed many times but this tattooist is one of the best i have been too. I would highly recommend this tattooist to anyone

Approximate cost: $450

It was my first tattoo(s) and I was really nervous, to the point where I was crying, and the workers there were really patient and comforting. Mel was a delight and I'm absolutely in love with what I got. I'd 100% return

Approximate cost: $150

The best studio to have a tattoo done in Sydney, since the first call till the aftercare of your tattoo.I could arrange my tattoo by phone and email, they are super friendly and easy to help you out, full of real tattoo artist that care more about the ink in your skin rather than your money in their pocket, thanks to Brett perfect design and all the LDF team…see you soon

The studio is a cute little thing. It is very cosy with very welcoming and friendly staff! This is the second tattoo that I've had done by Cory and you could definitely tell the difference from his previous studio. Very professional and a great experience for someone who is getting their first or adding to their collection! Highly recommended.

i was pretty nervous because it was my first tattoo and i wasn't entirely sure what to expect, but the staff there made me feel very welcome and comfortable, and continuously asked if i was going alright during the process. I also loved the outcome of the tattoo - exactly what i wanted

Approximate cost: $450

The best place to have a tattoo done. So understanding, clean and professional. They know all the ins and outs of tattooing. Jimmy Memento is an amazing tattoo artist and his attention to detail is incredible.

Just got my very first tattoo done by Cory - I'm blown away by the finished piece. Good advice for aftercare too. A big thank you!

Just had my first tattoo done here a week ago, staff were very friendly and professional and made the whole experience a good one. I came out with a beautiful tattoo and wanting more! not the cheapest place but hey a good tattoo is not cheap and a cheap tattoo is not good! worth the little bit extra for sure.

I got a foot piece done about a year ago. It was only small and took about 40 minutes. Some of the line work was quite shaky and it's missing in parts.. I didn't scratch it off so I'm guessing it was just missing a bit of attention to detail. I could tell the guy doing it didn't really think much of it and I wonder if that affected the quality. I should have gone back for a touch up maybe 2 months after but it was a very painful tattoo so I didn't. I regret that now as I'll have to pay for touch ups in the future.
The service was very good though, I didn't wait and everyone was very friendly.
