Love love love this shop! I’ve gotten a small few tattoos here and Marshall does such stellar work. He also did the most amazing portrait on me and I’ve never received so many compliments on a tattoo! 12/10 would recommend.

I cannot recommend sacred expressions and Marshall enough. I booked an appointment with Marshall to do a few small and simple tattoos at the end of July. I was blown away by Marshall’s artistic talent. He has an ability to take my ideas and turn it into something beautiful and unique. I have come back 2 more times and I have multiple more tattoos planned. At this point I’d let Marshall tattoo anything on my body because I know it will be absolutely gorgeous in the end.
