Reviews of Sanctum Tattoos and comics (Tattoo Shop)

Jay Humboldt

1 star because they refused to give me and my son the tattoos we wanted. Seems to me that Abad business model. Too librel.

Jason Kriaski

Aaron was great! Clean shop, good people, best price I found in town.

Amanda Drain Dorn

Friendly staff. Obscure and well known comics available. Great atmosphere!

Spencer Stantis

A cool little comic and tattoo shop. It's obvious the staff here really like both.

Meyer Wolnek

This is a great place to get a tattoo. I got my first tattoo here and the people are so nice and make you feel very welcomed. My tattoo turned out amazing and the environment was clean and steril. Great experience at Sanctum.

Shane Bright

Cool as hell...

Keith Eggleston

I got my tenth tattoo today and it was by far the best I've ever had done. Aaron Hamilton, shop owner, gave me the beginnings of my half sleeve. It was placed perfectly, his hand was steady and lightweight, and the detail was on point. I highly recommend this shop for any new or seasoned tattoo clients. I've already booked him for another tattoo, and I'm just so glad I found someone who I trust to do future permanent artwork on my body. It's about time.

Awesome staff. Very helpful and knowledgeable, but if they don't happen to have an answer to a question they'll happily find out for you. Not like other shops where if they have to lift a finger it's the biggest inconvenience imaginable. Prices somewhat negotiable too which is a plus. Slowly growing based off great customer service and a large selection of indie comics. Highly recommend!

Great service and great attitude. Reasonable prices.

Anthony Abell

A very friendly and clean shop. Comic selection is small but chosen well. The guys are very knowledgeable on all kinds of Ink and carry on a good conversation. Going back soon.

April Butler

Aaron did such a great job on my watercolor roses today. Neat shop with a lot of cool comic books and memorabilia throughout the tattoo parlor and shop. Easy to schedule and prompt, courteous team. Will definitely be back for my next one!

With the loss of Excelsior and now Kingdom Comics, many locals will be looking for a new comic book shop. Can not recommend Sanctum enough. While we all will grieve for the stores we have lost, in Sanctum we have hope.

When is the last time you bought a really cool book? Like, one that you wanted the guests in your house to find and ask you about?? Well, get on down to Sanctum and pick up your next favorite coffee table book, graphic novel or rarity printing that is sure to satisfy!!!! One of the COOLEST places in Bham and they do awesome tattoos to boot!!!

I love buying my comics here. The owner is super nice and always helpful.

Laura Foster

Very cool new new space where the love of comics meets tattoos. They do non-comic inspired tattoos as well. I went with a friend and the tattoo artist couldn't have been nicer. While the space is new, the staff that works there is very experienced and talented.

Mary Mackey

Aaron is the best!!

Melissa Jones

I love Sanctum Tattoos and Comics. I am new to comics but not to tattoos. I have been tattooed by Justin several times over the years. He is a honest and professional tattooist. He has a way of making my ideas so much better than I envisioned. Aaron has also tattooed me. He always makes your tattoo experience a fun one. Both guys are extremely knowledgeable and talented; I would trust Sanctum with any tattoo style or idea. While you are there check out Frankie Comics and Satan Cat. Both are a fun, short read.

Russell Noyes

Got my first tattoo here and it was awesome! Arron Hamilton did an amazing job. On top of that, they have an amazing selection of graphic novels and Trade Paperbacks.

Jamie Bailey

This place is great and everyone is very nice. My husband and I were out driving around and decided we were ready to get our tattoo and the minute we walked in the door someone greeted us. They got us in within an hour without an appointment. Thank you for that by the way. Justin did our tattoos and he was great, we really enjoyed him and he is very personable and does great work. We can’t wait to come back and have him do my husbands other tattoo. We have two friends that are looking for someone great and we are definitely letting them know about Justin and this great place. Thank you again.

Neat spot for tattoos, also for browsing and buying comics. Justin is the man.

Noah L

In all my years of reading/collecting comics all throughout the Southeast I have never had the customer service experience that I have had at Sanctum!!!! It is beyond stellar. Sanctum is my happy place. Aaron and the other artists are amazing and I can’t wait to get a new piece soon. My wife had a Star Wars piece done of B.B.-8 and R2-D2 by Aaron and it is picture perfect. The selection of titles range from the mainstream to small, Indy titles so there is something for everyone. Want to thumb through long boxes? Get ready because they have heaps! Whether your just starting out and need suggestions or a seasoned pro Sanctum has you covered! See you in the funny pages⚡️

George Smyly

First tattoo and Aaron did a great job and was easy to work with.

Cassidy Lee

Justin did my tattoo and I really love it. He's a pretty cool guy. It healed nicley and almost didn't scab at all. He gave me really great directions for after care as well. I will definitely be coming back for my next tattoo!!
