Where to start...I just left this place scratching my head. Many have posted that, " there is always a happy vibe", however, not so much for me. I guess when they saw tall Black guy wearing a "This is my Zombie killing T-Shirt" all of the Happy vibes went out the door. I was Kinda shocked especially since several of my wifes co-workers recommended this place. So I walk to the toward the counter smiling and the gentleman behind the register fails to greet me at all -like you could hear a pin drop. So jokingly i say helppp, and i show him my tattoo on my forearm and again ( you can hear a roach fart) LMAO ! So I start, Im looking to try and get this tattoo covered . He looks at my forearm and says you going to have to do a half sleeve. Again jokingly I say my job will fire me , and again, nothing ( you can here 2 fleas going at it hard). So , I ask ,what do you recommend ? Whatever you like( Like the servants on coming to America) Then I ask do you have any books I can look thru ( The Books are very basic . So I cant see them because they are basic...SMH. Thats why I came here to spend my hard earned money to get some help.Then he says most people bring in a picture and we draw it up and , at the end of the intense conversation he says I recommend getting laser surgery to lighten it up. All of this from behind a counter at lease 5 foot wide and kinda dim. I dont mind being told that I need to lighten my tattoo, but it seems like he didnt even look at it and he wasnt all that interested to begin with. I dont know about other folks, but i would not recommend this place.

Ive been to Poppycock Tattoo 3 times. 2 for tattoos and 1 time for a piercing. Each time I went to Eric. I have three lovely tattoos (one of which is a cover-up that I thought would never be able to be changed into something so detailed yet simple. My other two tattoos are so finely done and beautiful. I got my first tattoo here and the artists know how to work with virgin skin. I didnt even feel the tattoo at all. I had 0% pain for every single one of my tattoos, and my nose piercing was over in 2 seconds and it healed very very well and was even and aligned perfectly. All in all this shop is very refined and professional; dont let the location make you think otherwise. I love every single one of my tattoos and I am actually going back to have my shoulder piece done by Eric in three weeks. To anyone trying to chose between this shop and another search no more because Poppycock is one of the best shops in Delaware and quite possibly the whole tri-state area.

Well I gave them two stars because the first time I went I got the Monroe piercing and everything was ok I guess but omg the second time I went it was a disaster!! I went to get my tongue pierced and after it was don I couldnt close my mouth the bar was extremely too long and he told me to just keep it crooked/slanted in my mouth until it was healed. I thought he was out of his freakin mind, so he took it out and decided to attempt to put a smaller one in (Idk why he even gave me the longest bar in the store to begin with but ok) and thennnnn he couldnt find the hole so at this point Im in so much pain my tongue is clamped and hes poking around on my tongue and Im sweating like no thank you, I dont even want the piercing anymore. He ended up giving me credit to get something different on another day but after that experience I will never go there again.

I have gotten 9 tattoos so far from this shop and I love each and every one as much as the rest! There is always a happy vibe and always a crazy fun thing going on in the shop! Each time I have left the shop I leave with a tattoo that will last forever and stories that will last the same! The artists are helpful and more then willing to work with you on tattoo ideas and piercings. And the artists are crazy amazingly talented. I highly recommend this shop hands down the best shop I have ever been to

I just had a tattoo done by Eric. Its my 4th tattoo, but it was by far the easiest and best experience. Eric did an amazing job using my ideas to design the perfect tattoo. The tattoo itself is better than anything I could have imagined. The atmosphere was professional, but also relaxed. I felt at ease getting my first tattoo in 7 years. I will be sure to recommend Poppycock to my friends and I am sure I will be returning in the future to get more!

It was my first tattoo & I provided my drawing, created an appointment, approved my drawing and the actual experience was not nearly as bad as others said a tattooing would be. Tina made the experience pleasant and very professional explaining each step of the procedure. Finally explaining how to take care of the healing process over the upcoming weeks. Im very pleased with the final product and Im ready for my next one!

Excellent experience. I felt like Tina truly listened to me describe what I was looking for, and she turned my thoughts into something more beautiful than I even imagined - I get compliments on my tattoo on a daily basis! The shop is clean, well-lit, professional, and plenty of interesting artwork - not just flash. They also have an extensive body jewelry collection which I am sure I will return to peruse. Highly recommend!

I’ve been going to Poppycock Tattoo Shop for years now. Most of my work is done by Tina, but everyone is great in the shop. Not only does Tina do great work, but she is very helpful at creating what you want for your design. Giving you idea’s, and giving you a general idea in how it will come out. When people ask me where my work is done, and it happens a lot. I’m proud to Say Tina from Poppycock Tattoo.

Kick-Ass! I have been going to Poppycock for years and will continue to be a loyal customer. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and will flat out tell you if something will or will not work with your design or body-type. Its not a place to go to if you plan on blowing money on something useless, they are artists and treat every person like the unique canvases they are.

Got my septum pierced here by Eric. Probably some of the best piercing prices in Delaware. Everyone is super nice and knows what theyre talking about. They have a huge selection of jewelry as well. Clean environment and tools as well. The shop manager Allison is super rad and the owner Tina is an A+ business owner and tattooer. Definitely worth checking out!!

I was referred to Poppycock by some friends of mine specially for a septum piercing. Eric walked through everything he was doing in the process, gentle for such a sensitive spot to pierce and explained after care for my nose. Three months later its finally fully healed and looks great! Highly recommended this spot.
