Pop's Tattoo

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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. 🌟

Friendly, professional, and reasonably-priced piercing
