Rosie Lapsley
Owner and Manager
Mistress of all. Our Queen. Mother. Rosie is the glue and the lube that keeps the mechanisms (and the people) of Sugar Shack together and running smoothly. Her ability to multitask is overshadowed only by her awe-inspiring style and well-honed eye for beauty in all its forms. If you're calling the shop, it will be Rosie's lovely, lilting English accent you'll have the pleasure and the privilege to listen to.

About Rosie
Growing up, I was obsessed with art and always dreamed of being an artist. But since my brain works in 3D rather than 2D (thanks, dyslexia!), I found my creative outlet in other ways—like working with resin and nails. I even owned Flawless Nails for 10 years before stepping into the tattoo industry.
​
Tattoo shops have always drawn me in, and now I get to live my dream running one. My husband owns the shop, and I keep everything running smoothly—whether that’s organizing schedules, keeping the shop spotless, or making sure clients feel informed and comfortable from the moment they walk in. I thrive in an environment filled with amazing people, stunning art, and lots of laughter.
​
I love seeing the happiness on people’s faces when they get a new tattoo, and I always make sure they’re confident in their choices. My best advice? Make sure you’re in love with your design and trust your artist when it comes to placement. A tattoo is forever!
​
A little about me—I’m originally from England, I love to laugh, and I’m at my best when I’m creating something with my hands. I’d rather make something than buy it. Also, I may ask you to repeat numbers and emails slowly because dyslexia and fast numbers don’t mix well. I thank you for your patience in advance. Now, come say hi, and let’s make some tattoo magic happen!
