I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!! I went and made an appointment to get my nipples pierced initially with just Sara. The whole process of making and setting an appointment was super easy, and I also got a bunch of prep information about the dos and donts before getting any piercing. When I got to the appointment everyone working there was super welcoming and the studio was sparkling clean!! I’m talkin not even a finger print on the glass showcasing all the jewelry, which might I add is the biggest selection I’ve seen WITH LABELS! With the piercing that I wanted they gave me the option at check in to have them done in tandem (the same time) by both Sara and Jess or just Sara, as well as going through the risks related to the particular piercing and expectations of healing. I choose to have them done in tandem and IM SO HAPPY I DID!!! Both Jess and Sara are amazing, knowledgeable, and considerate piercers who really care about YOUR NEEDS AND BODY. They made sure I was comfortable the entire time and that I knew exactly what was going on. Two seconds later I was pierced perfectly at the same time, and I now have a piercing that’s become my new favorite! All this to say THANK YOU SO MUCH JESS AND SARA!! And if your wanting a new piercing? don’t hesitate and experience the most STRESS-FREE piercing ever with Sara or Jess :)

I got my paired nostrils pierced by Jess and she was fantastic. She is so friendly, and encouraging, and helpful. She took the time to really make sure they were even on both sides and that I liked the placement as well. She is also very thorough in explaining the process of what she’s doing, and going over aftercare. I am so happy with my piercings and very happy I was referred to Sanctuary. Everybody I interacted with there was incredibly friendly and welcoming

Walked in for my vertical labret and had the pleasure of having Sarah as my piercer who fit me in to what I gathered was a pretty busy schedule! Whole process was super quick and I felt very informed on the process both before and after and informed on pricing, jewelry, etc ! Super comfortable experience (they even offered snacks twice) and had lovely chats with other staff as I waited. Overall felt extremely welcomed- highly recommend:)

Got my ears pierced here and then came back a couple weeks later to get my nipples pierced. Both times, I had an amazing experience!! I got Sara for my piercings and she is such an amazing human and has such good energy. Extremely grateful that I had her. 🖤 This shop is safe, inclusive, and will educate you on everything until YOU feel comfortable enough to get what you came in for. 🙏🏼 10 out of 10! 🖤

Seamless service and uh-may-zing vibes! Went in Tuesday evening to investigate getting my right earlobe pierced after having my left pierced forever. I made an appointment for the next day and Sara was calm, competent and put me at ease. For anyone even unconsciously thinking about going to the mall to get your ears pierced… Just say NO! I’ve now got matching hoops with small beads on them. Couldn’t be happier! The vibe was great on my first, chance, visit. My second visit to get pierced was even better! Though Ian wasn’t scheduled to be working, since we chatted about doing some primitive, graphic, line work and I got so stoked about getting it done, he invited me back the following day. He spent a ton of time getting the concept right. The size, position with existing ink and the several he did in one shot was absolutely perfect! I am beyond happy and grateful 🙏🏽 Past ink was done with old, noisy guns that made the experience much more uncomfortable than it needed to be. Especially for someone sensitive to sound! The newer “rotary” guns are very quiet and dare I say… don’t hurt near as much. I’m sure Ian’s skilled, steady hand had something to do with it! From the front end person, to the other artists and customers, it was all laughs and smiles. That is exactly the environment you want to be in when having work done that requires so much intimacy and trust! I am 1,000% sure anyone in this shop will do an amazing, professional job for you at a price that will get the wheels turning for the next project! I have zero hesitation it recommending them! If my mom wanted a tattoo or piercing, I’d fly her out from New York City to have these guys do her work, because she deserves the best! ❤️
