Sanctum Tattoos and Comics

"This place is the best! Comics and tattoos and a bit of awesome art! Lots of indie and small press stuff, which is always amazing to see in retail. The folks that work there are fun to talk to and all the tattoo artist are great! They all have their own style and it’s awesome to see their art not being a carbon copy of each other! I’d rate this place higher if I could!"

"Sanctum is one of my favorite Birmingham spots. Everyone that works there are some of the kindest individuals. Their customer service is always incredible; they have always helped me with all my comic needs. Even if they don’t have a comic in stock, they’ve gone out of their way to help me order it. Over the last seven years I’ve had the opportunity to get artwork Aaron and the other incredible artists at the shoppe. I really trust and appreciate the environment that is maintained at Sanctum. It really is a safe space and I can only hope that everyone gets the chance to experience all the wonderful things Sanctum has to offer— it’s a real gem to the Birmingham community."

"A great selection of comics (from mainstream to indie), great owners, and fabulous tattoo artists. A Birmingham treasure. I love that they have a children’s section! Aaron is a fantastic tattoo artist as well as a super kind person. If you are considering your first tattoo, I would highly recommend him. Equipment is sterile, the shop is tidy, and comfortable."

"Aaron is a talented artist, along with being professional and personable. I have been getting tattooed by him for 10+ years! Love the staff and comic selections they have available. Can’t recommend Sanctum enough!!"

"By far the best comic shop I’ve ever been to. The layout is perfect and comfortable for enjoying looking around. Everything is neat and clean, and the staff is so kind! I was looking for a creature book for so long that I never thought I’d see in person, and they had it! If you’re coming through, this is a must to check out!"
