Sanctuary Tattoo & Piercing was founded in 2021 with the purpose of creating a beautiful, inclusive space for our diverse community of staff and clients.
We want body art to be accessible to all and strive to make the experience enjoyable and fun!
Our staff are highly experienced and love what they do and we hope to pass on that joy to everyone who comes through our doors.
