Going into sacred expressions I felt very nervous because this would be my first tattoo ever, but I have nothing but greatness to express for the overall shop and artists that work there. The welcoming vibe, as well as cleanliness throughout the shop was outstanding. I had the wonderful Jordan Rookus as my artist. I admire how much passion and hard work he put into my tattoo. We had a consultation where I gave him a rough idea of what I was looking for and within two weeks he made it come to life. The design was more than I could have imagined, and Iβm utterly in love with it still as a year and a half has gone by. I will forever go to sacred expressions for all my tattoo needs, as it is the BEST place to get the most of what youβre looking for, regardless of what your design may be. Nothing but gratitude and love for Sacred Expressions! π

Sacred Expressions is unlike any other shop in the area. The vibe is chill and inviting, the minute you walk through the doors Angela is there to greet you with a smile and ready to assist you with getting a tattoo scheduled, creating an amazing tattoo for you, or showing you around the shop. I've been getting tattoo'd with SE for a few years now and I am always impressed with how professional all the artists are, making sure that the placement of my tattoo is just right, their cleanliness and their dedication to the art of tattoo. I've recommended many friends and family to SE.

Iβm in the process of getting a full back tattoo by Steven Wheeler . Heβs incredibly talented and the shop is clean and very professional. I chose this place after looking at their website and social media pages, and was blown away by the talent I saw and knew immediately that I could trust them with the designs I envisioned. Steven has deticated lots of time and energy, in the sessions weβve had and the ones scheduled to come. Iβm glad to say Iβve found a place that I will continue to give my business to. Side note- thereβs also jewellery, crystals and glass pieces !!

I went to Steven after a friend told me about his work! He was amazing! He was on time, friendly (all of the staff was nice and helpful), and really helped me create a beautiful tattoo. He also was not afraid to make suggestions, but was never pushy! Not only did the tattoo turn out beautiful, it was a great experience! Iβm already thinking about what Iβm going to get next. :)

Walked in and it was like the angles had started singing!! These guys have some phenomenal talent!! I had heard about them from a friend but she hadn't checked them out yet. I went in with a mission to get a glass bowl from Amsterdam fixed that had broke years before. They told me they could easily fix it for me!! I was super stoked to hear it could! So I figured while I was there I shoud look around! I found a blue green mushroom! There where so many amazing pieces again theses guys are talented!! And there super friendly and enjoyable to talk to!! When I went and picked up my bowl it was perfect!! I also ended up picking up a new friend that mushroom. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it!! So if you need anything fixed, custumed made, or just something new come check these guys out!

Best tattoo studio in town hands down. Real artist that create one of a kind pieces and are extremely conscious to what the client wants. Not only a tattoo studio but a world class glass blowing studio, can't imagine how much each of these different forms of art inspire the artist who reside at Sacred Expressions.

I couldntve found a better place to get my first tattoo . The tattoo artists are very talented and take pride in their work. Jordan did an amazing job with adding extra shading to my sun and Moon without me asking and made it look even cooler. I've had the tattoo for almost a week and it's healing nicely .

The Owners and employees are amazing. The Tattoos artist's are amazing and you really can't call the pipes they sell pipes ... They are like super functional art pieces. They have glass blowers you can watch and they do glass blowing lessons. They have so many different kinds of pipes it is even hard to talk about them all ... My favorites are the swords where the pipe is the handle and they have a etched glass blade on them and some kind of electro-plated metal on some of them. Of course they also sell cool pins/patches/papers and I think they even carry discs for disc golf.

Everything in Sacred Expressions is a work of art. They are a true local business with everything being made in the shop, and are open to working with customers to create the perfect custom piece. Just about everyone in the shop worked with me to design and create my custom rig, which is one of a kind and absolutely beautiful. Jordan Rookus drew up and did my tattoo, taking ten hours to give me a intricate piece of art that I'm proud to have on my body. I will definitely be coming back to them for glass and tats in the future, and would recommend them to anyone.
