Sanctum Tattoos and Comics

Great shop with great selection of current comics and back issues. They also had an extensive graphic novel and trade paperback selection that encompassed the big publishers and a lot of indies. The staff were really chatty and knowledgeable, with even other customers joining in with discussion and recommendation. We were drop-in visitors on vacation, but this is very clearly a local favourite and would absolutely be my regular spot if we lived in Birmingham.

My wife and I have been using Aaron for our tattoos for almost a decade. He is not only insanely talented at what he does, but also a wonderful human being. Each visit is like seeing an old friend. On the comics side, they have an amazing selection and Wes is very helpful/friendly. We no longer live in Bham and they have even been willing to ship certain issues I want to our home. A truly special place and gem of the South!

Sanctum Comics and Tattoo in Birmingham is in its third (and hopefully final) location, and it's a great one. The owner was super friendly and greeted me right when I walked in. The back issues are neatly organized in large filing cabinets by alphabetical order, which made browsing easy. I found some nice picks, including Spawn and Something is Killing the Children. Parking was convenient with a paid lot just across the street. Definitely looking forward to stopping by again next time I'm in town.
