Got my septum pierced here by Eric. Probably some of the best piercing prices in Delaware. Everyone is super nice and knows what they're 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 had gone to Eric for a nipple re-peircing and he was very professional, the place was clean, and he asked questions of my previous experience, explained what he was doing to do, made me feel comfortable, and did a great job. I've been to alot of shops for peircings and I highly recommend Poppycock!

this place is ah-mazing!!! tina was so awesome every step of the way with answering all questions as well as just being so personable and understanding when choosing the location of the tattoo/moving it around as well as some design tweaks! the price was great considering the high quality of the service and the high quality of the tattoo itself. the place and the equipment were clean/sterile, and i was given the appropriate bandaging & directions afterward. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking to get another tattoo, but especially for first-timers! such a relaxed and upbeat atmosphere!

I was extremely impressed with the staff and the professional, clean atmosphere. I am in the area working and wanted quality work and since I’ve been here I’ve had 12+ hours of work and am more than satisfied with my artwork. Big kudos to Tina and Eric, very light handed and detailed. I will continue to patronize this shop. Thanks and God Bless!

I had a great experience at Poppycock with Tina. I have a tattoo that I love from another shop but have been unhappy with one aspect of it for years. Tina offered the perfect solution and I am thrilled with the result. The shop is clean and professional and I would recommend it to anyone!

I loved my experience at Poppycock! When I finally decided on a design last winter, Eric was the artist for me. I emailed through the website initially and we worked out an appointment. He took my idea and created a beautiful cover up tattoo on my upper arm and shoulder. Eric was 100% professional from start to finish and an excellent conversationist. The shop itself is entertaining as well, packed with art and oddities. I’m looking forward to having more work done by him this winter.

Allison is awesome. I’m a sensitive healer for piercings and my nostril has done better than most of my other piercings, including the two other times I had a nostril piercing.

I just had a tattoo done by Eric. It's 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. I'm very pleased with the final product and I'm ready for my next one! 😉👍🏼
