Aarons line work is spectacular and Ryan is a wizard with color!

Ryan designed almost exactly what I wanted on the first try after I had worked with someone else (at a different establishment) who couldnt seem to get the idea after several rounds. The whole experience was top-notch (though it was my first, so I had no real frame of reference). I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because some of the fine linework is too close and is bleeding together just a touch. Even so, Im going back soon for more.

My son and I visited Sanctuary the other day and received tattoos by Ryan Fleming. This man is a true artist and provided us with his very best. We fully intend to return to Ryan for further work. He is absolutely devoted to excellence in taking the desired elements and skillfully executing your vision in his beautiful artistic style. We couldn’t be happier with the work that he has done for us. We are grateful to have had him do this work for us. Highly recommended!!

Havent gotten a tattoo here but the website was solid. Easy to navigate and flip through portfolios. Shop looks very clean

I had my first tattoos done here, Ryan is one great man at his job. I cant stop standing in the mirror or taking pictures of myself.

Ryan flemming is the only tattoo artist for me!! His work is awesome!

Awesome place Ryan did my tattoo and it came out perfect! Definitely will have him design my next ones when it comes time.

Great place to get a tattoo. Very clean and professional. Ive gotten multiple tattoos from the various artists there and theyre all fantastic. I highly recommend.

Ryan is awesome. They are moving locations soon so follow them. The shop is clean everyone is nice and respectful.

Phenomenal shop. Ryan Fleming took a crazy vision, and put it on my arm flawlessly. No questions, go to Sanctuary if you are serious about your artwork.

I had my tattoo with Aaron Burns. He was well educated. He helped educated me on the tattoo that I wanted to better fit my body. I trust his judgement completely. He is a master of his craft. I get complements on my tattoo all the time. Thank you for giving me a beautiful piece of art on my body Aaron!!!

Aaron is wonderful to work with, he had great ideas to improve my original design.

Ryan Fleming is an amazing artist and I swear hes also a mind-reader! I went to him with some ideas for a very intricate tattoo I wanted but couldnt find a picture of to show him. He really listened to me and designed exactly what I wanted. I love it! Ive been back for two more of his designs - both very intricate and beautiful. Ryans a very talented, very creative artist and a perfectionist when it comes to his work. I wholeheartedly recommend him for that special tattoo you want!

They have amazing stuff

We stopped by at a bad time, they were moving. Owner was very nice and gave us several suggestions for other tattoo shops.

Aaron got my sister and I in last minute and we were so thankful for that! He was friendly, patient and did a great job! Would go back again!

We had a great experience. Located right down town with parking right across the street. The staff we friendly and professional. Each artists has an area very well separated from the next for some privacy. The music was great. Prices are on the high side for around here but worth it in our case because the details were really well done. Ill be back to see them.

Professional bunch, with a diverse set of skills. Ive been following Aaron Burns artwork for roughly twenty years, and Im always impressed with his ability to whip up something off the top of his head or adapt an idea or drawing into something way cooler. His paintings and drawings are also very intricate and impressive. If youre looking for talented artists, you should check them out. Also...theyre in the old Zootz space...so theres that.

Sanctuary is the ultimate tattoo shop in Portland, impressive staff and artists, located in the arts district. They will take good care of you and make sure you are satisfied and comfortable about your ink, custom and professional shop.Ryan Fleming is an expert

I contacted Carrie-Anne about a week ago to arrange a time to perform some touch-up work. She got back to me immediately and volunteered to come in on her day off to complete the work. I was thoroughly impressed by her enthusiasm and commitment to ensuring my complete satisfaction with the finished product. Carrie-Anne balances professionalism with an easy-going nature, and carefully listens to what the clients intentions are while respectfully offering her experienced advice. I left 100% gratified.

Ryan was awesome. He helped design my perfect piece of art.

Recommended by a very good friend... Friendly staff. Looking forward to having them ink my first tattoo.

Second piece Ive gotten here. Clean, friendly environment. Knowledgeable staff, great artwork!

Beautiful shop in a great location. 6 high quality artists, pumping out quality work daily.

Ryan does amazing body art!
