The studio was founded by NYNick, a classically trained artist who earned a BFA from Pratt Institute. After spending more than 20 years in fine arts and design, including a career as an Art Director, he left in 2015 to pursue tattooing full-time and has since built a devoted following through his artistry and client-first approach. Ink Sanctum is built around the idea of transformation and connection, with a team of artists who welcome every idea without judgement or intimidation. The studio serves both first-time visitors and experienced body art clients, treating each piece as a personal story worth honoring. During visits, guests are offered complimentary coffee and refreshments to make the experience enjoyable from start to finish. Beyond tattoos and piercings, the studio offers permanent makeup services and maintains an active presence on Instagram where clients can follow their work.

The studio sits on Grove Drive in Maple Grove, in the Grove Square shopping center, about a tenth of a mile from Weaver Lake Road. The United States Post Office is roughly a quarter mile away.
