A deliberately lit fire has caused $300,000 worth of damage to Progression Tattoo, in what police believe was a targeted attack.

Fire crews were called to the burning first-floor business in Hyde Park early on Wednesday and rescued a man, who was staying at the shop, from its balcony.

Police say the parlour had been broken into and an accelerant was used to start the blaze.
