about

Our Studio

The Sage Parlour is a private tattoo studio located on Sydney’s Upper North Shore, created as a calm, intentional space for meaningful tattoo experiences. Our studio is designed to feel safe, respectful, and personal — a place where clients and artist can work together without distraction or pressure.

We operate primarily by appointment to ensure every client receives the time, privacy, and care their tattoo deserves. However, walk-in clients are welcome when the artist has availability and the request suits the studio’s style and standards.

Whether you’re seeking an intuitive tattoo session, a custom design, fineline work, or a scar cover-up, The Sage Parlour offers a thoughtful and professional environment where your story and comfort come first.

Here, tattooing is treated as both art and collaboration — guided by creativity, respect, and intention.

our Story

The Sage Parlour began as a combined tattoo and botanical shop — a space where creativity, nature, and community intertwined. As our vision evolved, we transitioned from a retail shopfront into a private tattoo studio, allowing us to focus more deeply on intentional tattooing, personalised client care, and the quiet, sacred atmosphere our work thrives in.

While the tattoo studio now takes centre stage, the heart of our original shop lives on through Susana’s Creations and our curated Botanica selection.

Susana — co-founder of The Sage Parlour and Deb’s mother — continues to craft beautiful, handmade items infused with care, creativity, and heritage. Our current offerings include:

  • Handmade natural botanica items

  • Ceremonial tools

  • Hand-beaded jewellery

  • Crochet creations by Susana

  • Botanical and nature-inspired pieces

Every item is chosen or crafted with a deep love of plants, nature, and the belief in their gentle, healing properties. This botanical connection continues to shape the soul of our studio, blending artistry, intuition, and earth-based creativity into everything we do.
