Sanctum Comics & Tattoos

Sanctum Comics & Tattoos is a comic shop and tattoo parlor located in the former Jackson Hotel building at 213 24th Street North in downtown Birmingham. The shop offers a variety of new and vintage comic books and graphic novels, and offers subscription services for customers.

The business was founded in November 2016 by former Kingdom Comics staffer Wess Gregg with tattoo artist Aaron Hamilton. It was originally located in the Avondale Mills Shopping Center. The shop moved to a larger space downtown in June 2024. In addition to Hamilton, the tattoo studio is staffed by Chatham Hellmers and Aislyn Lupien.
