Bearcat Tattoo Gallery

The shop was clean, cool, and the staff were awesome. I walked in, talked to Mike, showed him my inspo pics, and made an appointment for the following morning. Mike made all the little adjustments I asked for, he was super patient, and kind. Everything was sanitary, comfortable, and Mike was really attentive. He practically pulled the image out of my mind, it’s exactly what I wanted. He even followed up on the healing process a couple weeks later via text. Highly recommend Bearcat and Mike. If I’m back in San Diego, I’m definitely coming back.

@mikelopeztattoo (IG) was phenomenal! He did an amazing job on the moth in my sternum…And I’m obsessed with it. He did his own interpretation of a death moth, which is exactly what I needed! It’s a fan favorite amongst all! He was so respectful, and was so accommodating. I will recommend him everyday of my life!!

Mike is amazing! If you looking for perfect lines and amazing details go see him. I've never been so happy with a tattoo this sleeve is perfect. Great vibes in the shop too!

I had some reservations about getting my first tattoo, so nervous I wouldn’t find the right artist. But the right artist was here. Mike was phenomenal, able to get both my brother and I in on two different days. And my brother was visiting from out of town. I had the absolute BEST experience and couldn’t thank them enough for the time and incredible work. Some of the lines were very fine and turned out amazing. I highly recommend them to others. There was so much detail and Mike nailed it. I will absolutely be returning in the future.

This is one of the most talented studios in San Diego with actual tattoo ARTISTS! They go by appointments and are normally booked 1-10 months out depending on the artist, but for a piece that is going to be on your body for the rest of your life it's worth it. I got lucky by following my favorite artists on Instagram I was able to get in earlier due to a cancelation. I'll post some photos of the shop and my current tattoo: it's going to be full color when we finish it. The place is very clean and everyone was very friendly. They even gave me a free t-shirt to give to my 3 year old daughter! These guys are definitely in the top 5% of tattoo artists in terms of skill and talent. I've definitely found my tattoo shop for life! Do yourself a favor and come here - you'll never regret it.
