Here’s what some people had to say about us!

 

“Loved Chalks' work. Great consult, design and final product. Brilliant.”

Adrian Nigro


“Rob and the Sacred Monkey crew are ultimate professionals who have forged a niche in the industry separating themselves from the rest through their dedication and pursuit of mastery in the craft. Right from the get go with had a consultation and I knew I was in the right place with the right people as we explored my concept and collaborated on the design. The attention to detail and hands on approach made me realise this is their masterpiece just as much as it is mine. I’m blown away with the results and so grateful for the affordability, time, effort and energy in helping me realise a life long dream.”

“So, so happy that I chose Sacred Monkey for my first tattoo. You feel immediately calm once you enter the store by the incense and the staff members. I had the pleasure of being tattooed by Edie and my friend was tattooed by Dan and they both were so kind and comforting. The designs we had chosen were taken on by both Edie and Dan and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out. The store and workspace was also very clean and COVID 19 requirements were met well! Thank you again Sacred Monkey for this experience we both really appreciate it! :)”

“Sacred Monkey Tattoo is truly one of Melbourne's premier tattoo studios. Super friendly staff. Clean and comfortable space. Having an ATM in the shop is super handy as well. Saskia is amazing. I can't recommend her enough. Her ability to take a concept and transform it into something wonderous is mind blowing. A true professional, incredible artist and just a super lovely human!”

Benjamin Reardon


“I have found myself getting tattooed by Edie due to her high level of professionalism, transparency, outstanding attention to detail and dedication to her craft. She is always communicative and reciprocal in decision-making with the tattoo, and always delivers exceptional body art. Always a really beautiful experience. The other tattooists in the studio are also super lovely, and the studio itself it well curated, mega clean, and an overall fabulous place to be tattooed. Thanks so much Edie, you gave me great tattoo experience.”

Jang Jenny


“I can honestly say these are some of the nicest and most professional people I have ever met! I got my first tattoo here on Wednesday with Dan Mullenger. Having the idea in my head since 2017, when I showed Dan he took it on board and delivered exactly what I asked of him, if not better. I will definitely be coming back soon!”

Needless to say, I have found myself getting tattooed by Saskia due to her high level of professionalism, transparency, outstanding attention to detail, and dedication to her craft.

“Highly recommend. Been getting tattooed by Rob for years. Very friendly bloke, easy to talk to and very good at what he does. The whole crew at sacred monkey are great people too which makes the experience that much better.”

Troy Taliana


“Been to the store a few times now and can honestly say I couldn't recommend it enough. Have always been tattooed by Rob who has always given me great advice and comes up with some amazing pieces of work, but who also makes the overall tattoo experience a very relaxed one and we always have solid conversation. Compared to the other stores I've been to the atmosphere at sacred monkey is really nice as well with other artists coming and going during the tattoo and chatting away, which again adds to the relaxed atmosphere whilst getting tattooed. Overall couldn't recommend the store enough, heaps of unreal artists to fit all styles and a solid tattoo experience!”

Joseph Hubbard


“Such a good vibe at Sacred Monkey! I've had 4 tattoos done by some of the crew and everytime they've been so welcoming. Everyone is so friendly and experienced. Definitely recommend anyone to go down and see what it's about! Thanks again to Rob and Stuart for the great tattoos.”

Deejay Paulo


“I got my first tattoo done here back in March, all the artists at SMT are polite and respected the reasoning behind my tattoo. I went in with 3 of my cousins to recreate a tattoo our passed aunty/mum had. the 3 of them already had tattoo's so watching me panic and word vomit all over everyone was a laughing moment for my family and the artists around at the time. I got my tattoo done by Rob and he was polite, funny and really explained to me everything I needed to know in detail. He dealt with my nervous word vomit like a champ and even let me a have a couple minutes after sitting down. We laughed together when I realized I was being a baby and actually liked the pain/feeling of what was happening and he made me feel 100% comfortable even laughed with my cousin after he made fun of me for literally sweating buckets for no reason! I could not recommend Rob and all the artists at Sacred Monkey Tattoo enough! Thank you again guys I will be back after Covid is over to add to the collection xxxx”

Beautiful atmosphere with a very welcoming environment. I had my original piece 'covered' (cover up) by Edie Mopar and she created a beautiful masterpiece. I left the studio overwhelmed by her magnificent artwork. Thank you Edie, you are truly beautiful and I love your work!

“Edie, Rob and Em — Thank you so much for the most positive experience one could have for a first Tattoo. From the moment I walked in the reception was friendly and welcoming and put me at ease. You made it easy to chat about what I wanted and the end result was perfect. Edie you’re a sweetheart ... you did an amazing job and I'm truly thankful.”

Abi Sequeira


”Rob Mopar is a consummate professional; I have been fortunate to go to him for four years odd and am very pleased he's now got his own shop - there's no one else I would recommend. And he's a really nice guy to boot, which lets face it is important when getting inked. Cheers Rob!”

“Such an awesome shop! Have seen Rob loads of times and his work is amazing. Such friendly people in such a nice spot with so much talent. Very professional, very friendly and awesome artwork from all artists. Will definitely be back! Thanks again!”

April Ferrier


“I absolutely love going to Sacred Monkey! Majority of my tattoos are done by Rob and I am always 100% happy. He (alongside all the other artists at the shop) is extremely experienced and knows what a good tattoo requires. High quality, super bold, and really knows his stuff.”

Sarah Bruce


“All my tattoos are done by Rob Mopar, he has done my whole leg and arm, and I plan on getting a full body done by him because his work is super high quality and I am always happy with anything he designs for me. Everyone at the shop is really friendly. The only reason I work is to save money to get tattooed by Rob. :P”

Cameron Robinson


Super professional and friendly shop, quality out weighs price and is one of the nicest shops I have been too. Rob does a super good job of making customers feel comfortable and welcome, can't wait to go back!”

Locky Chong


I met Rob whilst he tattooed in the shop , looked at his flash art and Instagram photos and booked straight in for a consultation! His passion for and knowledge of Japanese and Traditional tattoo gave me complete confidence in his technical and design ability ....now, with only a couple of sessions to go, I couldn't be happier with the unique Japanese sleeve he has created! Can't wait to get started on my Japanese socks next! If you want a great shop, full of friendly people with a passion for their art, go nowhere other than Sacred Monkey :)”

Nicholas Waters


“Great people and even better tattoos! Rob and the guys at Sacred Monkey are so friendly and helpful! Spending hours getting tattooed is no biggie with Rob, always a intresting conversation to be had! So if you are looking for an outstanding tattoo give the guys at Sacred Monkey a call!”

Elias Salomonsson


“I have been getting tattooed by Rob for around 5 years now and there's a reason for going to him all this time! He has done my back, arms, torso and both legs. He has one of the best tattooing brains around, whether you are a first time customer or a heavily tattooed veteran, he is professional and very welcoming. The quality of his tattoos are absolutely amazing, and he can do so many different styles - from trad work to full jap body suits and everything in between. He is an experienced artist, a long-time tattooer who has paid his dues in the industry and I am so excited for his own shop! There is a reason why he is so respected in the tattooing world and I couldn't recommend him enough to anyone who is looking to get something done. Just get onto the shop and organise a consult, you won't regret it.”

Matt Gers


“Rob has been an absolute pleasure to work with on creating my 'traditional American' sleeve. Not only is he a brilliant artist with heaps of ideas, but an awesome person. With spending hours on end with rob whilst he is tattooing me, the conversation is easy and fun. I'm so glad that I waited to get anything significant tattooed on me so that rob could have a clear canvas to work his magic. I have so much confidence in rob that I wouldn't even need to look at what he has drawn up for me because I know I'll love it. I've also been tattooed by Edie, and not only is she as cute as a button but an incredible tattooer as well. I can't wait to come back and see her to get some more little kewpies on my legs.”

Heather Byrdy


“Edie Mopar has done majority of the tattoos I have and I'll keep going back! Whether I ask her to draw something custom or choose from the piles of flash she has, Edie's tattoos are consistently incredible. I have never been disappointed and have complete faith in the work that she does. She's not only a rad tattooer but a rad person, I've never had a bad time with her! I would 100% recommend Edie for any of your tattooing needs. I've also been tattooed by Rob and he is a legend! Sacred monkey tattoo has expert tattooers, a super cool and comfortable atmosphere plus the highest quality work you can find.”

Emily Kassianou


“Friendly staff, good advise, and quality workmanship. Rob's American Traditional experience and easy going nature always make him a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend visiting Sacred Monkey for a great tattoo.”

Dana Anderson


“Awesome tattoo studio! Vond has been working on my project. I feed him the ideas & he comes back with amazing designs. Then they come to life on my body.”

Scott Heim


“Welcoming, friendly and very good at why they do. I would definitely recommend checking out Sacred Monkey and chatting with crew for your first or next tattoo.”
