A man has died after a shooting at a tattoo parlour in Sydney's northwest.

Police were called to the parlour on Victoria Road in West Ryde about 9.50pm (AEDT) on Saturday and found a 40-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his shoulder.

He was shot after two men with their faces disguised entered the premises via a rear lane.


Several other people inside the tattoo parlour at the time were not hurt.

Paramedics treated the wounded man at the scene and then took him to the Royal North Shore Hospital, where he died later.

Police are looking for two men, one of whom is described as about 183cm tall, of medium build. At the time he was wearing a black bandanna over his face and a grey hooded top.
