    My favorite tattoo shop around! I've had work done by both Sergio and Joe G. They are very talented artists with a background in graffiti and a great understanding of traditional tattoo art. Everyone at the shop is super friendly and the conversation flows like hanging out with old friends. The quality, vibe and pricing are second to none!

    The shop is clean and the environment is good. I will be scheduling another session with him. Great prices and the work is top of the line..no need to look anywhere else.

    I absolutely love this place. Amazing artists and exceptional customer service. Bright and bold tattoos that aim to please.

    This place is the best. My appointment was with the owner, Sergio, and he was great! Not only do I absolutely love my new ink, the overall experience was the best I've ever had, and I've been getting inked since 2003... we started tattooing almost as soon as I walked in. Sergio had previously mentioned he tattoos quick, and he wasn't lying; I was in and out in about 2 hours. Sergio's art is very unique and one of a kind, the main reason I chose him! There's also a budding traditional artist there named Jane, who was a delight to be around and who's art I will also be seeking. I also loved the fact that I didn't have to book months in advance, the deposit and overall price was right on, he was rad from start to finish and I can't wait for the next one!

    I got My first tattoo here and I'm in love with it, I came in with picture of a tattoo wanting them to just copy it but Jt drew a unique one and I loved it. I will definitely Come here again when I decide to get another. Thanks JT for your patience with me lol.

    Great local neighborhood tattoo shop in city heights. It was opened by Sergio Hernandez who has been a very active artist not only in San Diego but has traveled across the country doing his thang. Shop is small but has nothing but good vibes and good peeps. All the flash on the walls is jaw dropping beautiful. You can spend hours staring at all the details on the walls and counters. All the employees and artists are always polite and know what they are talking about. They have fun days like Friday the 13th where yes you will hang out for hours to get ink but will talk with a great number of interesting people and have blast at the same time. They have all the makings of being a long lived and established shop in the neighborhood. Best health practices when it comes to the tattoos and you definitely get what you want. I recommend any of the artists at the shop. Please go in and get some ink to keep this place going. Appreciate you all at Pop's!

    I'm disappointed more and more every day with my tattoo by Mike from bearcat tattoo. I showed up to…read morethis shop with an exact idea in mind and my artist was difficult to work with. He shot down my design and placement idea and kept suggesting different things that were not aligned with my vision. I was unfortunately persuaded by Mike and I'm so disappointed with the end result. Should have stuck to my gut. Now I'm stuck with this piece forever because this guy essentially pushed me into a direction I didn't want want to go. 0/10 would not recommend to anyone. Also, this guy charges you from the second you walk in the shop - I provided the entire tattoo inspo and design and he went with what he thought was cool and pushed me. Unfortunately I trusted him. Last time walk into this shop

It's an amazing tattoo, it's even better than what I imagined. Little details I never would have thought of. Also, the vibe in the shop was so chilled and comfortable. I've been to some shops that feel somewhat intimidating. Cynthia at the front was so friendly, even introduced me to the neighbourhood cat, Turbo, who is an absolute chonk. I highly recommend the place, the people are top notch, and the work is even better.

    0/10. Do NOT come here…read more I found this artist through Instagram for anime tattoos. His work looked good, so I reached out. He was quick to respond and asked for a $200 deposit, which I sent via Apple Pay on March 5 to the shop owner. We booked for March 16. Leading up to the appointment, he would send random updates on the design, but nothing was finalized. I gave feedback and stayed patient, even knowing they had a Friday the 13th event going on. I didn't hit him up again until March 15 (the day before my appointment) because we STILL didn't have a finished design, which is wild. He tells me he'll have it done that day. Cool. Then a few hours later, I get a generic email saying my appointment is canceled. No explanation. Nothing. So I reach out to the number I sent my $200 to asking for a refund, and instead of handling it like professionals, they get confrontational and start acting like I'm the problem for asking for MY money back. They try to hide behind a "no refund" policy... even though THEY canceled on me. Make that make sense. I added my conversation with the artist, since the owner wants to claim harassment. Judge for yourself. No policy was ever clearly shown to me, and communication was trash the entire time. Instead of owning their mistake, they blamed me and got disrespectful. I only got my money back after I told them I'd file a chargeback with my bank and take them to small claims court. Go read their bad reviews--you'll see a pattern, especially with how the owner talks to customers. Super unprofessional. Save your time, save your money, and go somewhere else.
