Reviews of Pop's Tattoo

Mssherrelle Johnson

I called Pops Tattoo, and spoke with Alyssa, and we immediately bonded. I told her I needed a cover up of a man's name I had dated five years ago. She quoted me a price, and set a date, and immediately went to work. She did a fantastic job on my tattoo, and you would never know that I had a man's name splattered all over the bottom of my arm. She was very professional, and her work, as you can see is fantastic. I highly recommend Alyssa for a cover up, she knows what she's doing. As for the shop itself, and the current owner, I would say a "class act". The shop is immaculate, very classy looking, and the music is on point, not your typical tattoo shop, and the owner is very kind and professional. I highly recommend this shop for a tattoo. I am so pleased, and I can't stop looking at my tattoo. I'd had it for five years, and was very ashamed of it. Now I feel free. Thank you Alyssa, and Pops Tattoo.

Stephanie Garhart

Called the business and spoke with a lady Alyssa about a price to have my tattoo color touched up. Later on I stopped by the office to have her look at it in person and to ask about additional add on as far as prices. I set up a time to come in and have her do my tattoo and the add ones. She was very knowledgeable and let me know what she was doing every step. She also let me know if I needed a break to let her know. I plan on going back to her to have my other tattoo touched up. Really good prices and great employees.

I just finished getting a leg sleeve from Sol at Pop’s, and I could not be happier. He is an incredible artist. He designed and tattooed exactly what i had in mind based on some pictures and a general concept. Also, the whole shop is awesome. I have gotten tattoos from 5 different shops across the country, and this is by far my best experience. The owner Chuck and the other artists are all super friendly and welcoming. Shannon, who helps schedule and pierces, was extremely helpful to setup appointments around my schedule. I highly recommend checking this place out.

Sydney Acuff

I went to Pop’s Tattoo to get my nipples pierced and they did an amazing. I had Chuck pierced them and he was so professional but also incredibly friendly and kind. He made me feel so relaxed and at ease. My piercings went really quick and barely hurt or bled. They have an amazing piercing deal that is one for $40 and a pair for $60! It was such a good deal I was worried it would be shady but it was so legit and professional!

Will Desautels

I felt safer with pops because unlike other shops in the area they took the time to call instead of just email. They also don’t charge by the hour but by the piece, which in my opinion, is the only way to do fine art. Chuck took great care of me and killed the design, see for yourself. Highly recommend!

Tara Frederick

This was the cleanest, most professional, and coolest tattoo shop I have ever been in. I came in for a walk-in piercing, and everyone was very kind through the entire process. The piercer was very informed and made sure I knew what steps to follow. I came in alone for the piercings which I was nervous about but she made me feel supported and cared for the entire time, so the experience was less scary and more comfortable than it would have been at another shop. The prices are super reasonable as well. This place will definitely be first on my mind when it is time for another piercing

Sasi Mahar-Piersma

This is a late review but I went to Pop’s back in October. I had a wonderful experience with Sol and he did a beautiful job on my two butterfly tattoos. Originally I asked for linework but he recommended adding some shading and it definitely was a good choice. Great people, great tattoos, great facilities. I am planning on returning soon to get more tattoos!

Tara Cailleach

Took my daughter to get her nosed pierced there in December. The staff was super sweet and helpful. I had a couple of questions about inks and they took time to research my question instead of just giving a canned answer or making something up. I really appreciated that effort. Awesome place, I can't wait to go back and get more stuff done

Melissa Rosario

I came in here knowing exactly what I wanted. Shannon listened intently and understood the assignment. Without an appointment, my 5 piercings were done in such a loving manner. I recommend her 1000% percent.

makayla hayes

Got my nipples pierced today and I was so scared but my piercer Shannon was so sweet and quick. I love my piercings and I definitely recommend coming here !

Marina Castaneda

Sol did an amazing job on my tattoos and made the experience great. He knew it was my first time getting my tattoos done and had a lot of patience with me and made me feel comfortable and made sure where I wanted my tattoos and the placements, he didn’t rush through our appointment and wanted everything to come out great. He did an amazing job, and I will love these little pieces of work he did for me.

Thomas Svoboda

This is my second time getting my tattoo done by Alyssa. She is an amazing tattoo artist. It’s such a cozy warm, clean and professional shop. For those who are getting their first tattoos I recommend 10000% . Alyssa takes her time and makes sure you leave happy with the tattoo you are getting. She’s very comforting and always asks if you’re okay with the size, location and takes time to plan your tattoos. They have such a friendly heart warming vibe and you are welcomed by many of the artists there. Definitely one of a kind amazing experience. I’m so glad my friend recommend me this place because I will always be recommending this place to all my friends/family. I recommend Alyssa, I’m so obsessed with my tattoo!!! As you can see in the photo she does an amazing well-detailed job!

Erica Su

I came here for my first tattoo, and so did my friends and I absolutely love this place! It's so welcoming and all the artists are so kind! Their service and dedication to their art is truly amazing and you can feel their passion through their art! I've already come back for my second and third tattoo and I know I'll definitely be back in the future for more! It's so easy to make appointments through an email or call and they got back to me through email within the same hour! They really care about what you want and will do what they need to do to ensure that the art you want is the art you will get!

Melissa Alvarado

Sent an email here a few days ago and got scheduled in fairly quick. Arrived and got tattooed by Olivia. She was so nice! My tattoo came out exactly how i wanted it will definitely come back for future tattoos!!

M W-W

I went into pops yesterday as a walk in (I did call first for availability though) and had a 10/10 experience. In addition to the atmosphere being clean and comfortable, my tattoos came out BEAUTIFULLY. I’ll definitely be going back.

Desiree McCormick

I reached out through their contact us and was beyond surprised at how fast and thorough the response was. I had a unique situation I was inquiring about and although they were not able to do it, the response was really informative and showed they not only know their stuff but cared about their customers health.

Annessa Cass

I had my helix piercing and a small tattoo done and would totally recommend Pop's Tattoo to anyone! The establishment is clean and they are a friendly bunch; will definitely come back when the urge to get another tattoo and/or piercing is back.;)

Aysia H

I spontaneously decided I wanted a tattoo one Monday morning. After calling multiple places near me, I came across Pop’s Tattoos on google. After reading some reviews and checking out some nice work, I was definitely impressed. I called, Oliva picks up and gets me scheduled for the next day. I live kind of far, so she managed to get me in early (which was awesome). And then proceeds to give me exactly what I wanted. You could tell she was extremely knowledgeable in her work, but also that she cared. If you’re looking for a place to get a tattoo , I highly recommend spending some time and money at Pop’s Tattoos!!

Anais Williams

Everyone was super friendly. Chuck walked me through the process of my tongue piecing and explained everything before even getting started, then gave very explicit aftercare instructions. The facility was clean and the tools he used sterile. And their prices (i feel) are super fair and less than others in the area. Would definitely come back and recommend. parking can just be a little headache to no fault of their own.

Emmett Parks

I came in as a walk in for my first tattoo and couldn't have asked for a better experience from start to finish! Alyssa did an awesome job, was very professional and pleasant to talk with. Would recommend to anyone and will be returning

Brandon Stephenson

Sol is your guy if you want a quality piece of art! Came in with some ideas for a forearm piece, and Sol made it a reality. Shannon and Sol are cool people and made the tattoo process great! If you’re looking for a great artist, with a creative edge definitely hit up Sol!

Katherine Richert

I typically wait to write reviews for tattoos or piercings to see how they heal. I honestly am just as impressed now as I was over a month ago when Chuck did my rook piercing. He was incredibly knowledgeable and advised me to get the rook when I was looking at getting a different piercing to help with my migraines. I'm so pleased with the quality, cleanliness, and Chuck's effort to get me in last minute on my way through town! My only regret is not getting the other piercing I wanted! If I wasn't living in another state, I'd go back immediately. Wish I could make use of Chuck's services again!!

Sofia G

I have come here a few times and I’m always amazed with their work. My tattoos and piercings are wonderful and have healed really well. I really appreciate the work of Monica and Alyssa and I just love the environment of Pop’s Tattoo. This definitely my go to place for any piercings or tattoos!

Madeline Turner

I’ve been to a couple other shops in the area but I’ve never been more excited than by the work Sol did for me at Pop’s. I came in with a general idea of what I wanted and he made it really beautiful. I’m so happy with my new tattoo. I’ll definitely be back for future work.

Emma Naeher

10/10 Recommend Pop’s to anyone looking to get a tattoo or piercing. Had been looking to start my sleeve for a while and Chuck helped put together a gorgeous piece that is better than anything I could’ve ever imagined. The whole staff is friendly and professional. The atmosphere is inviting and clean. The artists definitely know what they are doing. Will definitely be going back for future tattoos.

Ian Miller

My long-term best friend and I came here to get our matching tattoos done and our experience was nothing short of wonderful! Shannon was timely about scheduling and got us in quick which was great considering my partner and I only had a week together. Sol was amazing and took our idea by storm, a very light hand and very fun to talk to! The studio was clean and well kept and we felt very comfortable throughout our tattoo session. Thank you, and will definitely be coming again!

Rosanna D

I came in for a septum piercing last week. The service was quick, informative, and incredibly professional. As he was doing the piercing, he let me know what was going on and gave clear instructions on the aftercare. I felt safe and comfortable under their care, thank you guys! - A. Reyes

Cynthia Milloy

Sol and Shannon are incredible artists, Sol's attention to detail is awesome! I would recommend them highly. Take a look at the fantastic tattoo Sol did for me.

Malaika Butler

My friend and I decided to get piercing together but the places we’ve both been to were either closed down or unable to do piercing at the time. So we took a chance and found this place. The facility is very clean, bright from natural light so not scary, and the staff were very nice and professional for our first time. The prices were also so good! The piercing price includes the price of the jewelry too! They also had a deal that if you get two piercings, the second one is half price! My friend decided to get two but I had only expected to get one at the time. The piercer, named Chuck btw, made a deal with me that if I come back within 30 days I could still get the second piercing for half off! So I went back today and the deal still stood! He was also very thorough with the process, it barely hurt. You can tell that they take their business seriously and do well with instructions on healing. I can not share enough how great my experience was! 10/10 recommend this shop

Alena Firestone

This was my first time getting a tattoo and a piercing other than on my ears (belly piercing) and I had an amazing experience. Chuck worked with me on the tattoo beforehand and created a concept I absolutely love, and walked me through the whole process. I got both done in under an hour and everything was extremely clean and professional, and everyone I met was super friendly and warm. I will absolutely be going back if I decide to get another tattoo, and for any other piercings I decide to do! Thank you so much Chuck!

LeeAnn

Me and my friend both got two piercings today by Chuck. I’ve had my fair share of piercings, but this was hands down my best experience! Chuck is very professional and really ensured we were okay throughout the entire process. 11/10 recommended :)

Ayni Teshome

I did my nose piercing today and it is so beautiful, love it 💕 The customer service was wonderful and the lady(Shanon) who has done my nose pierced, she was great and it wasn’t hurt as I expected. Thank you guys!! …

Georgette Dawkins

My boyfriend and I got our tattoos done by Sol. He and Shannon were great!!! They were accommodating with our short notice and totally professional. Sols attention to detail on our tattoos was amazing!! I will definitely be returning to Pops Tattoos for more work!

Taylor Taptick

Pops tattoo has knocked it out of the park every single time. I will recommend them over and over. Chuck is a great tattoo artist and I could not be happier with my tattoo and experience. Can’t wait to get more work done there!

monnie guerra

Got my first tattoo with Sol and it was such a wonderful experience! Sol is a dope dude and Shannon is such a sweetheart! I can’t wait to go back and get more tattoos done :) Ive also gotten my nose pierced here as well so it’s safe to say I love this shop! 🖤

Alyssa Peters

I had my first tattoo here and had a wonderful experience! Olivia did an amazing job and made me feel comfortable during the entire session; she answered all my questions and explained the process thoroughly. Pop’s was super clean and professional. Would definitely recommend!

E R

I would highly recommend getting your work done at Pop's Tattoo. Sol, my tattoo artist, is exceptional at his craft, highly passionate, pays close attention to detail, informative, and Shannon made the overall experience great from start to finish. I am looking forward to coming back to Pop's Tattoo again in the near future.

Brittney Murray

My husband & I’s whole experience was beyond great. I’m so glad we had chose Pop’s. Shannon and Sol are great! They work with you and make sure your comfortable. Sol did an amazing job on my rose and butterfly tattoo!! Easier one of the best places to get tattoo. Not only do they look amazing after but you also get it for a great price. We will definitely be back to get more!!!

Sophia Mense

My friend and I came in for piercings and it was SUCH a great experience from scheduling the appointment to the after care. Chuck was unbelievable- absolutely no complaints. He was nice, friendly, professional and especially knowledgeable. The shop was very very clean and everything was well sanitized. If I could rate more than 5 stars I would:) We’ll be back for more! Thank you!!

Allison Cross

I had a great experience at Pops and would highly recommend. I reached out to Chuck a couple months ago regarding my interest in getting a memorial handprint tattoo for my beautiful daughter who passed away shortly after she was born. Chuck did an amazing job on the piece and I was so impressed with the detail he was able to achieve in the handprint. He was friendly and answered all my questions throughout the process, which was quite a few as this was my first tattoo. Chuck offered free touchups if any were needed, and I actually did reach out to him for a touchup a couple weeks after he did the piece (for just some darkening in the handprint). As promised, he quickly scheduled me for a quick touchup for free. I tried to give him a small tip as I was so appreciative of his work and the willingness to do the touchup and he refused it. I absolutely love the piece and overall had a great experience at Pops. Picture shown below is tattoo right after completion.

Sophia Khan

Absolutely amazing people, Olivia is an amazing artist and Shannon is an awesome piercer! My partner and I have definitely found our new shop

Aj

Pops tattoo is the best. 👍👍👍 My utmost highest recommendation. Olivia has done all my traditional pieces and even a few for my wife. They are an excellent group of skilled artists in a comfortable and very relaxed environment. I have a bunch of tattoos so I've been to several tattoo parlors, and this is my favorite. 💯💯💯 …

Samantha Clary

I'm so glad I went to Pop's--right off the bat, Shannon was kind, sweet, and professional. She got me in to see Sol quickly and at a fair price, which I very much appreciated. The ambiance was clean, open, and private. Sol obviously takes incredible pride and care in his work--he took the time to make sure everything was perfect and worked with such intensity. It was mesmerizing. I also met Chuck, who was just as kind and warm as Shannon and Sol. Fantastic art, and a wonderful group of people!

Zack

Really nice studio, very clean and professional. Monica did a amazing job with my piercing, super quick, perfect placement, answered all my questions and even gave me sea salt for the healing process. Overall I couldn’t have had a better experience!

Jessica Ewers

Amazing place! Over the past few years I visited different tattoo shops trying to find the right fit or get the right feel, no luck. Then I found Pops Tattoo and met Chuck. I could feel the difference the moment I walked in. Clean, organized, and lots of beautiful artwork displayed. Everyone I met was kind, respectful, and excited for me to get a new tattoo. Chuck worked with me to create a beautiful, personalized, tribute piece. The day of my tattoo, Chuck was patient, explaining each step along the way. He offered me plenty of breaks, made sure I was comfortable, and cheered me with each new section. The end result blew my expectations away. Chuck followed up making sure I knew what to expect from the healing process. I simply can’t say enough about my experience, or rate this business high enough. It’s hard to thank someone that has gifted me such a meaningful piece of art that I get to proudly wear for the rest of my life.

Jenifer Borjas

Such a great experience with my second ear lobe piercings. Chuck walked me through the whole process and made the experience calming for me. He made sure to talk about the healing process in detail and made sure I would come back if I had any complications. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a high-quality, clean, and friendly place for a piercing!

Steven Vanderzwet

I met Chuck and his team on a random tattoo decision 2 years ago while I worked in the area. I got a small piece and it turned out great; which led to a lower leg sleeve and full left arm sleeve. Chuck and his crew have shown me nothing but amazing friendships, clean work area and positive environments to be yourself while being tattooed. Highly recommend.

Ariana Hurtado-Day

they are so amazing ! they made me and my family feel so comfortable. we each got pierced by Shannon and Chuck and they were so professional. would highly recommend to anyone.

Jennifer Fagan

They were incredibly nice and we were able to fit me in on really short notice. I was having an issue with a piercing and they got me in same day, even though they didn't originally do my piercing. Very friendly and professional. Talked to me about care and Tomlinson's for healing. Would highly recommend.

tiffany palmer

Received my first tattoo at Pop's and the experience was outstanding! The atmosphere is really amazing, & very clean which was extremely important. Chuck & Darrell both are very talented artists and put a lot of time making sure everything about my experience was perfect! Amazing work, will be going back!!

Matthew Ashburn

I went to Pop's tattoo shop yesterday and it was the best experience i've had getting a tattoo. The shop is very nice, its a personal environment and the prices are great. I had a consultation with Chuck beforehand and he helped put my ideas together and made everything very easy. I got 3 tattoos and they all came out even better than I expected, Chuck does great work and is a good guy. Look forward to going back for the rest of my tattoos in the future. If i could give them 10 stars i would.

Sarah W.

Pop's Tattoo is a terrific place for piercings. I haven't had a tattoo done there (yet) but having seen the artists at work and their photo albums I have that on my list, too. Chuck and the team at Pops are experienced, careful, attentive to safety and the detail of piercing placement, and very professional. I've had two lobe piercings done and will likely go back for another set once these have all healed. If you're looking for a top notch, safe, spotless, and experienced location for piercings, definitely look to Pop's.

kadian roofe

I enjoyed every moment at Pop’s Tattoo shop. The receptionist was amazing, she made me feel right at home. Chuck was phenomenal, he talked me through getting my first medium size piece. I would highly recommend Pop’s tattoo; great service, quality tattoos and low rates.

Abigail Skofield

Monica did a wonderful job! She graciously let us came late on a Sunday evening and took careful time on hearing what I wanted. She was detail oriented and mindful of my opinions. She was flexible in re-placing it based on my thoughts before she started. When she knew I was struggling with pain, she was kind enough to offer some distracting small talk. Definitely worth the value and time it took; she is a wonderful artist and I’m so pleased to represent her work!

Carli Snyder

My friend and I came in last minute and Monica was able to fit us in. She listened to everything I had to say, and answered all of my questions and concerns. She is super detailed and an incredible artist! I love my tattoo, it looks exactly the way I envisioned. I highly recommend Monica at Popstattoo.

Kerry Bradshaw

Got a septum piercing from Chuck and it was a great experience! Everyone was very professional and the piercing went really quick and was fairly painless. They also provided helpful after care instructions!

Laura Malone

Highly recommend. If I could rate them higher than a 5/5 I would. The staff was incredibly welcoming and personable. This was my 7th tattoo, and they were by far the best shop I have ever been to. Best tattoo I have so far, amazing work. I will definitely be returning.

Racheal Okrah

Shannon was very professional and supportive. She talked with me throughout the whole process that my nervousness disappeared. Sol was in his zone and did a very great job. I’m in love with my first tattoo and I thing I’ll be getting my tattoos anytime I’m in MD.

Constance Gray

Today was absolutely amazing! When you walk in your amazed at the beautiful shop and friendly faces. My artist Chuck was incredible! He took his time and was wonderful throughout the entire process. Thank you for a memorable time and a wonderful birthday present! 🍍 If you are looking for a wonderful shop this place is it!! …

chris clark

If you're looking for the best tattoo shop I'd say you've found it if you go here! It's super clean the staff is beyond friendly and the whole experience was great! We showed up yesterday at 5 when they close at 8 and they took 3 walk-ins and they even stayed late to finish up the tattoo I asked for. The price is great and the quality of the tattoos we recieved were fantastic. I'm even going back today to get another piece! Definitely the best tattoo place I've been to.

Gaye Wallace

It was my first experience for getting a tattoo and I was a bit apprehensive, but Chuck was really good at easing my fear. I chose a floral design, a hibiscus and he did a wonderful job. It is a very nice shop. Clean and tastefully decorated. There are so many designs to choose from. You won’t be disappointed!

Chyna Waugh

i went here for my 18th birthday to get a double nose piercing, i was kinda scared but the piercer made the experience very comfortable and chill 10/10 would come here again

E. Green

Beautiful, clean space run by kind, concerned professionals. Chuck did wonders with a nose piercing fiasco I came in with on a Sunday. Returning for cover-up art. Excellent prices and high-end quality! ✨✨✨ Update: so, I was all shaken up six days after the fiasco. I called and was invited to come over immediately. After a brief warm welcome, Chuck cleaned my nose, assured me I'm good, gave me some extra hygiene products, and told me to call whenever need be. 🌟

Gabriella Gomez

We came in Sunday (8/11/19) as a walk in for my boyfriend to get a tattoo on his lower arm. They were full so we booked an appointment for (8/18/19). We were able to prepay for his tattoo in advance! Turns out the next day my boyfriend got home early from work so we called the store and Chuck was available so we were able to come in! I got a stunning nose piercing and the process was so smooth. Chuck explained everything and he answered the several questions i had lol. I was scared thinking it was gonna hurt but Chuck did it super quick and it didn’t hurt! My boyfriend showed Chuck the tattoo he wanted and Chuck was able to modify it to fit my boyfriend’s dream tatt. He was very patient and super cool! He was able to finish the tattoo in about 2-3hours while making sure my bf was comfortable and didn’t feel uneasy. He offered us ice water and kept checking in on us. He also offered to fix our previous really bad tattoos from another tattoo parlor LOL! The environment in this place is so friendly and chill I love it. We will definitely be back for more tattoos with our friends. You don’t have to think twice about this place. They answer all your questions and make you feel at ease. Chuck’s line work and overall work is 100% fantastic! The place may seem small on the outside but the inside is very clean and spacious. They also have handmade jewelry pieces! I definitely recommend to anyone who wants to get a quality tattoo that will last and be perfect. Don’t go anywhere else but here! My boyfriend is so inlove with his tattoo and I’m inlove with my piercing. Thanks so much guys!

Humberto Torres

SOL and SHANNON are the undisputed champions!!!!! They are the best, they took my good piece and turned into A MASTER PIECE!!! Im still shocked and amazed how it came out. This tag team is awesome and I definitely recommend them to anyone. Out of 5 stars they deserve a 10!!!!!

bianca chan

This is a PSA: you gotta see Chuck for your next piercing. I've been searching for the right place to finally get my tongue pierced and this place had good reviews. Meeting Chuck, he made me feel at ease, was very charming, and gave me crystal clear direction before, during, and after the procedure. Despite my many piercings already I was nervous. Must have been the adrenaline, too, but the process was so, so quick, you really don't have time to worry, and you shouldn't because you're in good hands with someone who's got 20 years experience and makes sure all your questions are answered. He was also kind enough to switch out my too-large conch barbell free of charge for a small, more comfortable labret. And he gifted me a little baggie of kosher salt for rinses! I really appreciated the details. I'll also add that Pop's COVID19 procedures are strict: masks on, Chuck walks you to the door after, and the studio and restroom both looked clean and sterile. Some shops are crowded with posters and whatnot but not Pop's - it felt minimalist. Thanks Chuck, see you in a few weeks!!!

ANGIE BRITT

2/1/2020. I went to Pop’s Tattoo today and being my first tattoo ever I must say, they made it a Great Experience!!! Staff was soooo cool and friendly definitely made me feel comfortable, took my jitters completely away. Most of all the professionalism was Excellent and on point. It was a safe, very neat and clean establishment. I was also impressed with the artwork. I would recommend and return. Sol you Da Man!!!!! Ang.

Danielle S.

I went with the intention of covering an ugly scar with something more appealing. My expectations were BEYOND exceeded. Chuck is truly passionate about what he does, and it shines through in his work. The place is extremely clean, and the staff is kind and friendly. Scheduling is flexible. Chuck is an incredible artist, with a great personality and sense of humor. In a matter of hours, I went from being person who avoids mirrors to one who looks for excuses to stand in front of them. My self-esteem has vastly improved. Thanks for an awesome experience!

Pop's Tattoo was my first experience getting a tattoo. I was very nervous for weeks leading up to choosing a place and I'm so glad I chose Pop's! ATMOSPHERE: Calm, professional, clean, open, welcoming. There wasn't any creepy decor, the music was nice and not overbearing, and the place was very well lit (even had natural lighting). There was even a collection of art and tattoo books you can peruse while sitting on the comfy couch in the lobby area. I wasn't intimidated at all. The place seemed very safe and I knew the moment I walked in that I would be taken good care of. TIMING: I did a walk-in and asked for 2 small/medium-sized tattoos. The whole experience lasted from 5:30-6:30 PM. This includes discussing and creating a design, the tattooing itself, and paying. PROFESSIONAL: Chuck answered all of my questions about the tattooing process before, during, and after the event. He frequently asked how I was doing during the process. He also gave a paper copy of the aftercare instructions on the tattoo. He even gave me a sample of the A&D ointment that would last me for the recommended 2 days of aftercare treatment. COST: The tattoos were very well priced and of high quality. Chuck even mentioned that if I needed any follow up (ie: the ink is bleeding or fading), he would touch it up for free. -- One thing to mention is that you pay up front. They accept cash as well as credit/debit. MISC.: Chuck also mentioned that he would sometimes scan drawings/pictures that clients would bring in and make it a stencil so that it could become a tattoo. NOTE: Parking is a bit challenging, I recommend parking across the street at the metered lot (About $0.25 for 30 minutes). The metered lot is FREE after 6 PM on weekdays and FREE on weekends. PROCESS: Chuck and I talked a bit about what kind of tattoo I was interested in. He was very excited to hear that it was my first time and I could tell he really wanted to make sure my experience nothing but positive. We looked on the internet for some ideas and I came in with some of my ideas as well. When we settled on an idea, I paid up front. Then while he was creating the stencil, I sat and read an art book from their library. Another staff member even gave me a cold bottle of water from the fridge. After about 5-10 minutes, he was ready. We then went to one of the separate small rooms (similar to one of the private rooms at a doctors office). The room was well lit with natural lighting coming from the window on the second floor. The door was open and the room was very clean and organized. It felt professional and safe. Chuck then explained in detail (and answered my many questions) about what to expect before, during, and after the tattooing experience. This put me at a lot of ease because I was so nervous, since this was my first time. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone--especially first timers! Thank you Chuck and Pop's Tattoo! I'm so happy with the results and my experience!

Ri Dickulous

I love Pops Tattoo. I came in here 10 years ago for my first two tattoos and a series of piercings. The studio is clean and beautiful, with friendly and talented artists and staff. The artwork I have from 10 years ago has held up wonderfully and is always complimented.

Maura McConnell

I went in a few weeks ago to get my rook pierced. I’ve had issues with piercing healing badly in the past and was nervous about something with so much cartilage. They put my mind at ease and took great care of me. I had problems with the jewelry afterward (ring was too large) and they replaced it for free. Highly recommend this place.

Montgomery B

I just got my tongue piercing here a few hours ago. Very clean and relaxed atmosphere. Good prices and the dude who pierced my tongue did a good job

michael sarino

Just got an industrial piercing here by Chuck, he talked me through every step (including healing/aftercare) and it was over super quickly. Shop was super clean and I will defintely be recommending this place to my friends

Jenni Dunn

I had a blast working with Shannon and her husband Sol. What an amazing pair. Sol had a light hand and an amazingly creative mind. Turned a few ideas into a creative masterpiece. I felt super comfortable and had a great time working with them both. Highly recommend.

HILINA WOLDEAMRIAM

OMG Monica is the best. This is my first tattoo, I was back and forth since long time ago, she made me decide to do it. I love it. She is talented, gifted and polite.

Go see my man Sol for tattooing. PERIOD!! He's thorough and ensures every detail of the tattoo has gotten the attention it seeks. I've had alot of work done by him and I always feel satisfied after every session! One stop shop for tattoos, piercings and art! What are you waiting for? CALL THEM!

If you love quirky weird tattoos hit my girl Alyssa up her imagination is chefs kiss. Started with a Dino now I got a whole drunken zoo 😂❤️ …

Cason Barnes

My wife and I woke up on Christmas and thought we would go get a tattoo. I called and left a message and within minutes Monica called us back and we headed that way. Monica was very patient and put a beautiful tattoo on my wife. Needless to say we both have appointments with Monica in the future. Highly recommended

Very happy I found this place. Chuck the owner is a very talented artist and a great guy. They charge a fair price for work and the studio is extremely clean and nice. Definitely recommend to anyone for any type of work you need to get.

I came in to buy some sterile solution for my nose piercing and the guy Chuck was awesome 😎 He informed me about a product that was actually better than the typical stuff I normally get. He also gave me advice on additional piercings that I would be able to get on my ears and he’s very knowledgeable and helpful and I just love great customer service!!!

Taylor Harter

I came here as a walk in and received the best services hands down! My artist was Sol and he has the lightest hand when it comes to tattooing, i have a total of 7 tattoos and his is the best! I can’t wait for him to do some more work! Found my tattoo home

M J McNulty

I got my first tattoo here and got more than I could have hoped for. An amazing piece at an amazing price, the artist didn't stop until he was done even though I paid up front. 10/10 would get poked again.

Carol Chappell

The work of the artists at Pop's is amazing! I had 2 new tattoos and touchups on 3 old ones and will never go anywhere else! Looking forward to my next one!!

Christian Hernandez

They’re amazing and super helpful. After my piercing fell out they helped me put it back in with no problems. Customer services is excellent and had a great time. :)

Richard Billingsley

Sol is a true artist. I gave him some images of what I wanted and he turned it into something completely unique - true to the original but he added that artist’s element. Couldn’t be happier with the final product. I’ll travel back to Pops’ shop (from Hawaii) to let Sol add to the piece.

Lorin M
