Jax and crew make you super comfortable as people seeking body art. A unique shop for the better. And if you’re afraid of pain, Costner the giant tattoo friend dog will make you relax! Truly good people. Talent, skill, comfort and natural friendliness is their offering. You can nap on the sectional couch waiting for you design or when they’re tattooing you!

Francis Lagace

Had two sessions with Jaxx first one last summer, second in the spring, and together we came up with the perfect tattoo, I had an idea and he knew what would be perfect for me. I’ll never go anywhere else, perfect atmosphere, perfect artist and perfect tattoo.

Dianne Smith

My (future) sister in law and I decided to get tattoos together Sunday. We first went to (another tattoo shop) who were anything but welcoming. We told them what we wanted and they gave us a very high estimate so we left and found Sanctuary Tattoo Emporium. From the minute we called it was a completely different experience from(another tattoo shop). They said they’d take us right away and when we told them what we wanted the price was half of the price the other guys told us. Jaxx and Kristen were so warm and welcoming from the time we walked in until we walked out. I will definitely be going back for all of my tattoos.

I have going to Jaxx almost 10 years now, I, myself, my husband & my oldest son have been tattooed by Jaxx & wouldn’t have it any other way….all my tats are from him…as for Sanctuary….the atmosphere is absolutely amazing & straight up wicked cool!!!! Have never been happier..!!

Liz Bowden

Jess is by far the best! She does such a great job!

Allen Tavares

I’ve been looking for a new artist for a while now and I am happy to say that Jaxx and Kris can tattoo me anytime! My sisters and I came here to get matching tattoos and we walked out incredibly happy. Their lines are clean, their work is beautiful, they aren’t pushy, and they take pride in what they do. I also had Jaxx fix a tattoo of mine that was done by another artist from a different shop and it is ten times better than it ever was before. If you’re looking for a chill shop with excellent work, I highly recommend this shop! I will be back at Sanctuary for more art in the future! Thanks Jaxx and Kris!

Jaclyn Carroll

I have been here more than 10 times. I have loved it every time. Jaxx and Kristen have become very good friends of mine over the passed handful of years. I have seen this shop grow from the “new shop in town” to the talk of the town. I have been tattooed by Jaxx and Kristen and I love every piece I’ve ever walked out of their with. Jaxx is working on a huge batman and ninja turtle cover up on my arm right now and I love it so far. Kristen perfect every tattoo shes ever put on my skin and her work on others is just as prime. Jaxx has tattooed me more than any other artist has ever tattooed me. I’ve been here since day one and I will stay here til the end. The shop is fantastic and it looks wonderful. It’s a fantasy land in real life. The walls are all 3D and the hand painted scenes on the wall are absolutely amazing. I highly suggest this shop.

Corey James Taylor

Every single tattoo on my body I love! I love going to their shop relaxing and looking at all the creative stuff on the walls! I even go their when I’m not getting tattoo. I have never had someone so kind and caring and treat me like family since day one I love these guys!

Brittany Nichole Blazic

Jaxx has been tattooing me for 13years. Best part of sanctuary is you’re not just money in chair, jaxx takes the time to get to know you and throws ideas your way to better your tat. He honestly cares about his clients. After 13 years, hundreds of hours of tattoos, I’ve made close friends with him and his family. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Liz Ewell
