Sanctuary Tattoo & Piercing

I love everyone that works at Sanctuary ... Andy is my go to guy. The customer service and energy of this shop is top notch and very welcoming.... I feel like family every time I go there.

Andy did all 3 of these on me.... The skull one is not finished yet. But will be soon!

Andy, Ian and Season were all great. They were incredible to our group that came in to get 5 tattoos. Would definitely recommend them and we will be back for more.

Andy did an incredible job creating exactly what I wanted.

Staff was friendly and the space felt clean and welcoming. I walked in for some body jewelry and got helped quickly. Very helpful and happy with the quality!

I love this place! Vibe is great artist are even better!! Definitely gonna be the place I refer everyone to. And most definitely gonna be my regular shop!!!! Art done by Andy

I had my lobes and nipples pierced by Sabrina. I LOVE them. Sabrina is very professional, thorough, sanitary, and SO KIND! Easily the best experience I have ever had getting pierced. THANK YOU!

My experience was the best the staff at sanctuary are amazing. Andy not only is my tattoo beautiful but you helped me through every step of the way. It was my first tattoo and I was pretty nervous but it's such a welcoming environment it's amazing. Thank you so much,

I’ve now gotten two tattoos from this shop, Ian McVay specifically, and I couldn’t recommend anyplace more highly. This shop is small without feeling cramped, very clean and with beautiful art on the walls, including flash. The atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly, and just as welcoming and inclusive as their website suggests. The systems are new and convenient, paying is always very quick and easy.

My experiences with Ian specifically were wonderful. His gentle yet enthusiastic demeanor makes the entire tattoo process less daunting for someone like me who worries incessantly. My emails were always read and replied to quickly, and his patience in the design process was admirable. He made sure that I was heard, but also made sure that the tattoos I would be getting would look nice and age well considering my lack of experience with the art form. He was great at understanding what I wanted, but the artistry he offers is far beyond anything I could draw up myself. He tweaked, added, and redrew elements for me, and the final tattoos were always more beautiful, dynamic, and thoughtful than I imagined them.

During each of my tattoos he kept lively conversation, which helped me personally to manage the pain. He has a light and careful hand, and while he works diligently to create the best tattoo he also listens and makes sure that I’m alright throughout the process. Tattoos are not easy to get or to give, but I can’t imagine having a better experience. I recommend him and his shop to people I know and work with, and highly recommend it to anyone looking to get a tattoo, especially if they like an illustrative style that Ian is spectacular at (the style I had done). His portfolios speak for itself. While I have not been tattooed by Andy, the other artist at this shop, his portfolio is also full of great work, and he’s a very funny and lively person.

I am extremely happy with the genuine care and effort put into both my tattoos and my experience in the shop. I genuinely couldn’t speak any more highly of Sanctuary Tattoo and Piercing.

Working with Ian has been amazing! Great artist, easy to communicate with, and fosters a welcoming environment. Most importantly, I LOVE my tattoo!! Can't recommend highly enough!

Great experience especially for a first timer for a tat! Highly recommend! Definitely a bit shout out to these guys!

I came in with my partner who was getting their bridge pierced. At the last minute I decided to do my Helix. Xia was so very kind and patient as they showed me the different jewelry. And it was very quick and essentially painless. They also answered all my questions, and did a great job on my partners piercing. Would go again!
