Katie is the best! She created a safe, comfortable, clean, and welcoming environment. She was empathetic and careful - I felt very well taken care of. Thank you, Katie!

Very professional, sanitary, friendly and helpful. They have a variety of jewelery selection. Top grade stuff. My piercer was Katie. She is super friendly. She checked on me between each piercing. I got my Rook, Conch and helix pierced in one session. She explained every step, made sure I felt comfortable and made it as painless as possible. She showed me proof of proper sterilization. Great place to get your piercings! Will return for all future piercings.

Katie went above and beyond to make sure my tragus piercing looked good and would heal correctly. I have small ears which was a bit of a challenge, but she took great care to make sure it was perfect. Cant reommend her and Sanctum enough. Worth every penny.

I did not go through with my appointment, but I was under the impression that their website states the baseline for any piercing and that any jewelry (that is usually decorative) is additional. But apparently all jewelry, including the standard steel ball (that usually is inclusive) is 30+. Just something to keep in mind. Wish someone would have clarified that over the phone when I went over totals, and before I made a 15$ deposit.

I went to get A nose piercing earlier in the summer and older gentlemenDid my piercing and he took so much time and patience with it he made sure to clean it my nose before n after the piercingHe had great patience nd everything went exceptionally wellThey even are lgbt conscious n ask my preferred name n all thatI’ll be back again

(Changed my rating bc the piercer [I think her name was Katie??] measured my lip wrong and the piercing turned painful and infected within days.)Got three jewelry replacements (no piercings) and it was nearly $250 just for new barbells. Didnt even know what to say so I just paid and left, but I absolutely would not go back.

Very friendly and helpful staff, even on the phone! Also very very clean! I just went to pick out a new nose ring. They were very informative. And then they offered to switch out my piercing. The $10 was worth it since I’m new to nose piercings. Would come again!

Amazing service! You have to make an appointment and you cant bring someone with you unless they also have an appointment. They followed Covid-19 guidelines very well and they were very hygienic. Definitely recommend!

Great experience with this piercing shop and everyone there. Chuck is super professional and made the process very easy and straightforward. I made an appointment to get my nipples pierced and I love the results. The shop is very clean and Chuck took great care to make the procedure as painless as possible. I had this pricing done in Wildwood, NJ around 15 years ago but the barbells needed to be removed for an emergency X-ray and I could not put them back in. I remember that the pain level years ago was significant during and the night after the procedure. When Chuck did it, the pain level was tolerable during the procedure and I did not feel much pain after. Mel went over the care process and requirements. Chuck put in Industrial Strength brand barbells and they look great. It’s been a week now and the piercing is healing very nicely. The prices were reasonable too. I highly recommend to come here, as Chuck is a great professional. Will come back again for sure!

I am so thrilled with my experience at sanctum body art. Kate was very professional and informative! She did a great job piercing my cartilage and i highly recommend her. I will definitely be back and can’t wait for my next piercing

The website said they were open, I drove there and had to drive around for parking, because it was in the busiest part of New Brunswick, just to go over to the door and it said closed. I even called but no one picked up.

I got 2 helix piercings done a little over a year and a half ago and it was an amazing experience. Everyone was super friendly and knowledgable and created a very comfortable atmosphere, even for a very nervous client. Kate was amazing and made sure i was comfortable with what she was doing. I always recommend this shop but I will say that parking is a bit tricky so if you have an appointment, make sure you give yourself plenty of time to hunt for a parking spot.

I had my earlobes pierced by Chuck a few months ago and Kate did a jewelry change more recently. They were both super friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Their entire setup was very sterile so I was not worried about dirty equipment. There were also COVID precautions in place, which I greatly appreciated. Both Chuck and Kate patiently answered my questions and made me feel at ease. My piercings are healing without any complications. Ill be back for more piercings and jewelry! :)

My daughter had her nose pierced. Though she wanted it badly, she tends to pass out with any needle/medical thing. They were amazing with her. She didn’t pass out. They gave her some m&ms too and she felt so comfortable. I couldn’t be happier with them. Place is spotless and all COVID precautions were in place. As someone in healthcare for 20+ yrs, there was no question of safety. Now I want mine done too.

I recently had my rook pierced with Katie and her associate who were both so helpful and friendly. They explained everything simply and thoroughly and made me feel at ease. Katie talked me through each step of the actual process and it was essentially painless. The jewelry selection was also great and well worth the money!

I have booked an appointment for my wife piercing and they charged me 16$ to keep it on hold. We visited and the stuff refused to do the piercing for her and also refused to give us the holding money back.They said to buy any Jew and pay extra for the Jew. Very poor service and stuff. I wont recommend this place to anyone.

Very clean place! & extremely professional they have you sign a few papers before anything. I got a daith piercing done here it was a bit busy when i went cause there was a group of friends in front of me so i had to wait longer than expected even though i had made an appointment before hand

I got my belly button pierced back in 2017 by Kate and it was an awesome experience. I remember being scared but she made me feel very comfortable! The place is clean and everyone is very nice and welcome. I recommend Kate to all my friends and family!

I just got a nose piercing here and katie was amazing! She was very nice and professional. The place was very clean and welcoming

They are incredibly knowledgeable, personable and make the whole process of being peirced super comfortable

Was needing a good place to get pierced since all the places by me are mediocre. Drove 40 minutes and it was worth it. Chuck was awesome and my piercing is placed exactly where I wanted it. I’ll definitely be back and be referring others.

I had my first flat cartilage piercing done here by Chuck, then came back exactly 1 year later to have my rook done by Kate. Both are skilled professionals who take the time to select a piece you will love and place it in a way that flatters your anatomy. They are also more than willing to answer any questions should they arise. I am thrilled with both and hope to return for more!

Nice ambiance...they serve customers 13yrs and above

I had my cheeks pierced here by Kate and had the most comfortable and professional experience. They’re a year and a half old now healing wonderfully and I recommend anyone near here to see Kate!

Ive been coming here for a few years now to get pierced and the place is wonderful. Katie is an absolutely amazing piercer and everyone on staff is friendly and informative. Its the most hygienic shop Ive ever been too and the prices of jewelry are good. I will continue to go here to get pierced forever

I came in to have a lobe ear piercing. They were very professional and safe in regards to hygiene with covid. One of the forms I had to fill out asked for preferred pronouns which I really appreciated. All questions were thoroughly answered in regard to after care. My visit was a great experience and I highly recommend!

Highly recommend coming to Sanctum for any of your body piercings needs ! Above and beyond cleanliness, great jewelry and wonderful staff.

Everyone was so kind and helpful!

Kate and the entire staff at sanctum are amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful!

I had my daith piercing done by Chuck. The piercing was quick and painless. I don’t have any issues with it!

I came to do a vch and it was a great experience. my piercer was Katie. I felt very comfortable with the whole process.Jewelry was a little expensive but overall, I have no regrets. I will be back to get my nipples pierced.

I went in to get my rook (inner cartilage) pierced impulsively about a month ago and I can say that it was A GREAT EXPERIENCE! I walked in without an appointment on a Sunday and they were happy to take me. I have never had any cartilage piercing before so I was a little nervous about the pain, healing process, after care etc. My piercer was Katie and SHE WAS A STAR :)! She was very friendly and professional through the whole ordeal. During the piercing she explained step by step what she was doing and when she would be conducting the actual piercing. She has a very light hand when it comes to piercings too! I barely felt the pain and she made sure to make me feel comfortable. The place was sanitary, and very stylish! On the website they put the bare prices for the piercing itself but once you go there the price of the jewelry is added as well. I would say everything is fairly priced and you great service and jewelry for the price you pay. They even sell saline solution to help with aftercare! My rook has been healing nicely without any infections or bumps, and is completely painless. I was a very happy customer and can’t wait to go back for more piercings! Thanks a TON, Katie!

An amazing experience for a piercing newbie. Staff took time to answer questions & make me feel at ease before I even made my appointment. Each step was explained in detail during the appointment and at no time was I made to feel uncomfortable when I asked my silly questions. I highly recommend this shop & I absolutely love my piercing!

Honestly, the staff was super nice and professional. Made my piercing experience super comfortable and made me feel super safe. Chuck was very professional and made sure everything was measured correctly and in place. Definitely would recommend!

Got my nostril done by chuck and it was super quick and easy. The place was so clean I literally felt like I was in a doctors office and he cleaned my nose and everything very thoroughly. The jewelry might be a bit expensive but that’s because it’s all good quality. The girl at the front was really cool with helping me pick jewelry and telling me about the healing process. I would definitely come back for my next piercings.

Just got my tongue pierced today and its going good! Katie was VERY informative and professional. Made me feel super comfortable-- as I was nervous-- but she definitely helped. The lady at the front behind the register was great too! This is my go to piercer of how well things were today.

Cant say enough good things about this studio! I drove from Belmar to get here! APA certified piercer, I went during the pandemic and everything was extra sterile. Staff was incredibly helpful and attentive every step of the way. Definitely my new go-to shop. Arrive a bit early for parking though as its on street.

Great experience getting my nostril pierced. Torie was a great piercer and all of the staff I encountered were very nice and informative. The facility was extremely clean and well kept. You can tell the staff actually care about their customers because both my piercer and the cashier kept asking how I was feeling, both before and after the piercing. I am definitely coming back again!!

I got pierced by Katie today and she was amazing :) The shop was immaculate, sterile and felt like a doctors office. SO CLEAN!!! She made the process quick, easy and comfortable for me. Thank you so much Sanctum Body Art!

I went for my conch piercing n it was so smooth that I cannot even describe ! My piercer was Katie n she has angelic hands ! She did the job so well n smoothly that I did not even feel it. She was so kind, gentle n such a nice lady ! I would 100% recommend this place as well my piercer Katie ! Definitely check this place, you will not be disappointed!

Best experience ever!! I was pierced by Katie, she did my nostril piercing. I walked in and loved the vibe of the shop. The girl who was at the counter explained everything really well and helped me choose the best jewelry for me. After choosing my stud, the girl explained aftercare and what to expect. Katie called me in and explained the whole procedure to me and then marked the position of my piercing with a tattoo pen. She gave me the pen to keep too!! That way its single use and another sanitary measure. She made me feel so comfortable and everything was extremely clean. It was very fast and didnt really hurt much, similar to the pain of an ear lobe piercing. Katie is an expert piercer, I recommend her and Sanctum for all my future piercings!! Im so happy with this experience. It was quick, professional, and unbelievably clean.

They have done all my piercings. Love it here. Very clean, very professional and beautiful jewelry

The best place for body piercing! They are clean and professional. Chuck and Kate are awesome!

Super nice guys. Love my new ink.

Only place I will ever get piercings in the future! Got my nose pierced a year or so ago and loved the jewelry options. Had to get it switched out recently and decided to get my conch pierced. Kate was wonderful and friendly and did a great job.

Had my daughters navel pierced with Katie. Overall a very good experience. We arrived for her appointment a little early but were helped promptly. There was a lot of jewelry to choose from. They are very thorough and very clean. Katie is knowledgeable and explained everything well. I definitely recommend Katie and would use again.

Michael did an excellent job on my tattoo. I am sure it would look even more amazing once we put the colors in. The place is clean and the employees are very professional. This place gets a yes from me.

Quick, easy, professional...when ready to face the needle again this will be the place I return to~

First time getting a cartilage piercing & they were so helpful & very professional, a bit pricy but worth it

Very clean professional and kind

Always clean and amazing customer service.

Mike was fantastic with tattooing me. I enjoyed the fact he was just as excited as I was about doing the tattoo. Its one of my favorites and I would 100% go back to him for any more work in the future.

I had a great experience. Came in today with an appointment to get both of my upper earlobes pierced, and all of the staff were so kind! They explained aftercare and helped me to select earrings that I loved from a wide variety. Katie did great work and I’m very happy with the results!

I came here in 2016 to re-do just my left ear (plan to do my right and do a double in 2021 before I move). It was a very calm environment. They were chill, and had a friendly vibe. The price was good and reasonable amount. They made sure I was okay, and helped me decide a ear-ring. And also asked questions and such. I do appreciate their work because my ear healed within 6-8week instead of 6 months.

I went to get my septum pierced by Katie, and she made the whole process insanely quick and painless! She made me feel comfortable even though I was super nervous, and Victoria at the front desk was also very nice and helpful.

Horrible experience, walked right out. They have a lot to learn on customer service. Went for piercing, and Ill never go back. My friend went to Katie and had great experience. Chuck on the other hand, rude and obnoxious. Surprised he even has a customer base with that attitude. You can feel when someone is also rushing you out because they wanted to leave. Then he states comes back when you are ready. Im more than ready but rather give my money to nice professional respectful people. Dont waste your time or money here.

I went here spontaneously to get my nipples pierced and the staff was so welcoming. The prices are pretty reasonable too. My piercer was Chuck and he really calmed down my nerves and helped me through the process, you can tell that even though he was busy he still took his time to be accurate with my piercings. Note that this was my first time getting piercings, but I would definitely recommend this place. Still in shock that I really got them!!!

It was a great experience!! Very friendly, and clean.Chuck is the best piercer and very professional!! Definitely go back again for more piercings!!!

Katie is great,super sweet and the place is extremely clean!! love it! piercing came out super cute.

As a graduation gift, I brought my daughter here for a nose piercing. Chris was very accommodating in terms of a last minute appointment change was very kind when we arrived. Katie, my daughters piercer, was absolutely wonderful. She was highly professional and explained everything in detail. Very pleasant demeanor and knowledgeable. She even looked at my nose piercing (Ive had it for 20 years) to make sure it was still ok. The shop was clean, our appointment time was honored as planned and my daughter walked out with a smile on her face. Overall we had a great experience.

I absolutely love this place. I have gotten a few piercings done here by chuck and some jewlery changed by Katie and they both are very professional, knowledgeable and patient. The facility is well kept and beautiful . The receptionist was always pleasant and managed to keep most people calm with chitchat while waiting to get pierced ! Even if you are not in the area it’s worth the drive !!!!

I went in today hoping to get my daith and forward helix pierced, neither of which I had the anatomy for, so I ended up getting my tragus done. It was $77 for the piercing, the second cheapest piece of jewelry, and the small bottle of cleaning solution. It is expensive but I’m confident that they did a good job with good quality materials. They originally quoted me for an hour and 15 minutes wait time, but I ended up getting squeezed in after waiting 5-10 mins. Chuck did my piercing and I’m not sure why anyone has had a problem with him! He was pleasant and knowledgeable, and there was almost no pain compared to other piercings I’ve gotten. Overall a really nice shop with really nice workers, but definitely can get good quality at other shops for a lot cheaper.

Katies a cutie and she is just down right entertaining and knows her stuff. Chuck is always fun to see he reminds me of the father I wish I had.

Dave is the best!! He did an amazing job on my cover up tattoo. He turned a wizard on my arm into a gorgeous Lion that he did by hand. Very talented and professional. The shop is very clean. This review is long over due

I went there towards the end of March 2014 and I was super nervous. They were very nice and friendly. The lady that did my piercings was amazing, she made me feel extremely comfortable and explained everything she was doing step by step. Everything was super clean and they open the packages right in front of you so it makes you feel relieved knowing that its sanitary. I would definitely go back there to get my other piercings done.

Had a great experience. Had to write the review to show my appreciation.The place is very clean. I met ERIK, David and Tim. Everyone was very professional and easy to talk to. The whole vibe of the place is very positive and definitely its the people who work their making it possible.My tattoo artist was Tim. He is very patient, professional and most importantly : easy to talk to. He understood what exactly I want my tattoo to look like. I had some idea what I am getting and he added his ideas and made it a great tattoo. I saw his other work and they all were very clean.Thank you guys for a positive experience.See you next year-Vik

I had gotten a nostril piercing done here a while ago, I trusted the women who worked there since a friend got it done from them.While I was getting the piercing done the piercer placed a dot on a my nose on a point where I thought was lower and didnt want it there.I told her if she could place the piercing higher but she brushed off my request telling me she knew what she was doing.I got the piercing done, and ever since that day Ive always regretted getting the piercing done since my friends and family point out the odd placement from time to time.Itss unfair that the lady dismissed my request since she told me they were experts even though it was a customers request.Aside from that, the piercing process was almost painless and quick. I had gone here again to get my piercing redone 💀

Excellent Customer Service!! Price wasnt an issue because of the great care, professionalism and friendly environment. I would definitely recommend Sanctum to all of my friends for piercings. They took great care of my daughter!

I had a double anchor insertion done by Katie. She was extremely professional. The whole shop was spotless and sterile. I have had little to no bruising. They are on my face, I expected some pain. To my surprise, Katie was so flawless, I felt no pain and still dont. I had mine done in 7-7-17. I could NOT be happier! Thank you for everything Katie!

The 3 tattoos I got were done amazingly and i love them. Big thanks to Tom and Mike up at the tattoo shop. Yall rock💪

I have 25 piercings and the artists at Sanctum Body Art in New Brunswick are by FAR the most professional I have ever been to. They walk you through the entire process and have the patience of saints. I highly recommend this establishment.

I recieved two surface anchors by Katie. The shop was EXTREMELY clean and sanitary which I loved. The walkthrough of proper aftercare was very thorough. (You receive a little booklet as well). Katie makes you feel very comfortable during the piercing process which is definitely a plus especially if your anxious.

Love this place for piercing. Been going here for years. Extremely professional. Had my tongue done twice here, nose done, and most recent my vertical lebret. Very clean! And the piercer has been piercing for a long time - he knows what hes doing. I recommend this place.

Very friendly and professional female staff

Chuck is an excellent piercer!! Ive had piercings done at other shops, but Ive been most satisfied at Sanctum.

I was havin problems finding a professional piercing shop in my area for new jewelry. But i finally found this spot. Kate was absolutely awesome. She was extremely nice and knowledgeable and definitely tries to educate you on piercing care, jewelry, etc. And does it without making you feel dumb. Thanks so much for a great experience.

I came here a couple times and left happy, I had gotten my triple helix done here and the first two were done great. Perfect spacing and all the third one Im very upset about. I told the piercer to make it even with the other two, since I am not the piercer to tell you where it should be done I thought the artist would take care of me. Since its their job. So Its legit on top of my second piercing and it is not spaced out or even pierced threw straight. I have to have it taken out and redone -_-

Chuck knows what hes doing for sure! Would recommend him highly. He isnt warm and fuzzy but its fine! Lol

Never go here. They are way to over priced, and the man would not pierce my belly button because he claimed it was an outie when it’s clearly an innie. So after wasting my time I went to another tattoo shop to get it done. The lady at constantly custom tattoos and piercing said my belly button was perfect for a piercing and she did it. I told her about the man at sanctum and she said that many young girls are turned down by him for no reason. I recommend saving your time and money and go to another place other then sanctum

I was awesome. I did my nose piercing by Katie. she was great and professional. their place is so clean.

I had my tongue pierced here. After having placed a marked dot where my tongue piercing would be, I told him I didn’t like the placement. He proceeded to argue with me saying he was a professional and knew the correct placement. Now I look at my piercing and utterly hate the placement, the stud is way too close to the tip of my tongue. I have friends who have tongue rings where the placement looks much better. Extremely angry the piercer would not listen to my wishes and proceeded to do what he wanted against my own preference.

This was by far the best body piercing shop I have ever been to. It was the cleanest and they walked me through the whole piercing process from beginning to end. I was very pleased with the piercings Chuck did for me. He pierced my triple forward helix and tragus, neither got infected and he answered all of my questions. I was very nervous so Chuck said jokes to try and take my mind off of things and make me feel comfortable. It worked! My brother got his eyebrow pierced by Katie. She did a great job and even helped pick out jewelry that went well with his face. I was very impressed.I will be going back here several more times. I plan to get my belly button, rook, and microdermal hip piercings(if they do those there).Prices are very reasonable and they keep everything sanitary and organized.

Came here to get a conch piercing and to also have my rook piercing ring changed which was a $10 charge. Really great service and the workers are nice. Will come back for another piercing.

Victoria is a wonderful growing piercer and many should visit her.

Made a weekday evening appointment a couple of days in advance for an orbital conch piercing. Was in and out within 30 minutes. Laid back environment, friendly people, and Chuck did great work :)

Decided to get 2 cartilage piercings, got a captive bead and a helix with a flat screw back. Had an allergic reaction to the surgical steel, especially the helix. Also should not have this type of piercing as a starter, it should be changed to that once healed. Very disappointed!Waste of money

Chuck was very professional and patient with me.I highly recommend the place👌👌

I went to Sanctum based on some reviews for my first piercing, and I didnt regret it! Katie is super nice, professional, and the place is lovely. Definitely recommend it!

I went here because it was closer to me. I had both daith done by Chuck. He was pleasant and professional as was the girl at reception. I plan on getting my septum done as well.

Amazing got my nose pierced chuck was great

I went and got two tattoos done by Erik. Hes hella chill and adds his two cents into the tattoo to make it cool. I definitely recommend him.

Loved this place, I got both the Prince Albert and my Frenum. The women that did the work for me was very professional and comfortable to be around which made the process so much easier. She was very clean washing and changing gloves after each step... She also walked me through each step letting me know it was ok to ask any question that popped in my head... over all i had a great time

I went to this shop on 12/6 and had an awesome experience. Katie was great and repiercing my tragus was painless. Cant wait to go back to get the other side done.

Friendly, professional and they have a great selection of high quality jewelry

Staff was really present and helpful and were nice to squeeze me for a piercing when they were fully booked.

Clean, professional, knowledgeable. Good experience. Would get stabbed here again :)

Im glad theyre so close to me! Went in for the first time to get my daith pierced, Katie was very friendly and funny. She made me feel at ease. Next piercing will be my tragus and I know exactly where Im going to get it done. Very clean shop. Definitely recommend this place for any piercing.

Took my daughter to get her belly pierced.The studio was immaculately clean. Even the bathroom.We felt very comfortable, during the entire experience. This is the place to go, and I would recommend to anyone looking to take their teenager for their first piercing.We booked with Katie based on all the previous reviews. We were not disappointed. Katie was pleasant to speak with on the phone.When we arrived we were greeted with a smile. Katie showed us the jewelry, and gave us the prices up front there were no surprises.The prices were reasonable and comparable to other QUALITY shops. You get what you pay for.We were not pressured to buy anything else.We did purchase the hand soap.We filled out the paperwork and then we went over the care and cleaning.Katie took us into the private room. It was like a doctors office. Everything was packaged and sterile. The use disposable markers and give to you when done so you know they are cleanKatie took the measurements and had us confirm the placement where the ring would go.Katies bedside manner was awesome. She could teach kindergarteners. She was calm, bubbly, empathetic, reassuring. Everything I wanted for my daughters first time.IMPORTANT: Katie does not use a clamp. She says this reduces pain. I would agree. My older daughter went to a place which used clamps. She was in a lot of pain from the moment we left. My second daughter felt a pinch just like getting a shot.After we were done, they went over the cleaning instructions again and gave use a booklet.I was very impressed, and I would recommend this place to anyone.

I love this place. Nice and clean I get all of my piercing 8 total

Honestly overpriced for no reason. I got a flat piercing by the guy and he was just weird. Like its a waste to pay for the earring & the piercing (i paid $82) if you can get it done at other tattoo parlors for cheaper (I couldve paid $35 for the piercing & earring total).
