Awesome place with awesome, incredibly unique staff. Eric worked with the image I had in mind, was incredibly sanitary, took pride in his work, and did a great job at applying a new tattoo and touching up a tattoo from a different artist. He was also friendly, made sure I understood the process and what to expect, and I look forward to working with him to develop my next ink. Pricing was fair - they will not gouge you like I have seen at other area shops. 10/10 would recommend for any ink work.

2 industrials and 2 lobes. Eric did a great job. Took the time to make sure glasses and mask wouldnt bother the industrials. Love the covid safety. Clean shop and awesome feel. The kids love their new accessories... And want to get tattoos from there now.

I got my first tattoo from them and the gentleman was so nice and he helped me through it! It was a small tattoo that had my sick cats name and I got it back in 2017 and Ive cherished it ever since! 10/10 would recommend I cant wait to get another tattoo!

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!

Very careful during Covid!

My piercer was Allison and she was amazing!! I loved the patience she had and did her best to make sure I was comfortable and understood my aftercare completely. I would definitely recommend and will be returning!!

Love the tatt, will come back to at least have a good time

This place is amazing. Their skills and customer service are top notch

Great shop! Tina has been great to work with over the last year. Very responsive, creative and easy to work with. Everyone in the shop makes it a comfortable, welcoming not intimidating place to be. Look forward to going back soon. Theyre all pretty funny too.

*Do not recommended*A friend & I went to go get a piercing (tragus). I went first. Piercer seemed very nervous.. I asked her how long she been doing this she said 6 months & I told her that shes making me nervous cause she is shaking. She responded I done a few of these I cannot make you do something you dont want to. I continued with the process which I should not have!!! During the piercing the piercer was shaking and tugging!! Longest experience ever! Very uncomfortable! Then next my friend went and same thing happened and she pierced her tragus and jewelry did not follow through with the taper and piercer had a hard time getting the jewelry in meanwhile being very SHAKY & TUGGING. My friend told her to stop immediately! Very unsatisfied with our experience and my friend just left with a hole in her ear and no JEWELRY!! Were very upset! I do not recommend. Please go somewhere else with someone that has experience and not NERVOUS!

Very clean and professional Tattoo Shop. Great atmosphere and the staff is very friendly. Tina fixed a tattoo for me and she did an awesome job. Her artwork is amazing and she has the best personality! Im looking forward to going back again in the future. I highly recommend!

I’ve been coming to Poppycocks tattoo and piercing for about two years now most of my ink is from Eric Hendrickson who is a total sweetheart and an amazing artist.The shop is extraordinary clean and the staff is highly professional something that you don’t seem to get very often at tattoo shops.

Went there to get my nose pierced the shop is clean everyone was nice. Eric was nice and helpful the procedure was quick and easy. They told me if I had any problems to come back. My sister also recommended me to poppycocks. I was very pleased.

Got a cover up, turned out beautiful! Great pricing.

Revising my review: 4 days after the tattoo, a scab came off and along with it most of that ink in that spot. Im not thrilled at paying $80 for 20 minutes of work only to have tossed that money on the garbage. Attaching a picture to this review so you can see for yourself.Went in as a walk in midafternoon on a Tuesday (though I called the day before, and asked about their availability...and they offered me the option of reserving an appointment with a down payment for my tattoo). The tattoo was small and I knew it would be a risk to do it as a walk in, but figured I would be ok. I do advise booking your appointment though, especially if youre getting a more elaborate tattoo than mine. They were quick, and professional. I think it only took something like 20 minutes start to finish for mine (she drew the tattoo on in marker, and took a pic on her phone to show me placement and get approval before starting).This tattoo was important to me, so I did peruse their work before going. I know it seems like a very simple design, and it is, but it was important to me to have someone who did excellent work. Tina was the artist who did mine, but after looking at their artwork online, I would have been just as happy having Eric do the work as well. They have more extensive pics of all their work on their website, so if you are on the fence about whether or not theyre right for you based on the google reviews pics, check them out there.

The joy of working with Tina has left an indelible mark on me that will not soon fade. Great collaborative process with an artist who gets excited about your vision for weird.

The apprentice piercer girl with the not so flattering greenish color hair was so unknowledgeable and had the worst attitude. Will not be going there for any services.

Love my piece. Tina is awesome!

This place and these people are super. Wouldnt think of going somewhere else for INK.

I came here as a walk-in. They helped me out right away. I’m super happy with my tattoo.  I feel like I got the perfect artist.

Beautiful shop, really friendly crew. Love the ink we got and will be back!!

If you want attention to every little detail, in a tattoo that will look as great way down the road as it did the first day, Poppycock Tattoo is the place to go! Tina is the artist who does my work, so although I can only fairly speak to the perfection of her artistry, I can say I have seen the work of Ken and Eric as well and they do amazing work! Something unique about this shop is how much of a family everyone seems to be and when you become a customer, you join that family. Even Allison who seems to manage a lot of things around the shop keeps things running and customers happy. This shop is also not intimidating as many shops Ive been in for previous tattoos. I will never go anywhere else! I cant wait to continue the journey toward a full sleeve!

Love this business! Great artists, great people. Highly recommend!

Ive had a second ear piercing by Eric and my first tattoo done by Tina and I can honestly say I cant imagine ever going anywhere else for either service. They each made me feel like more than a customer; they made me feel like a friend. I am forever grateful to Tina for taking the time to design my tattoo and for also putting me at ease as I sat in the chair, a nervous wreck, as she began. Her funny stories and ability to connect with me made the whole experience even better! I cant wait for my second tat with you! Thank you to you both for your professionalism and for your friendliness! I will recommend Poppycock to anyone who asks!

How was the pricing I am about go there Tom an get couple touch ups An coverup ???

This place does really incredible work! Got a Star Wars themed tattoo almost a month ago and it healed perfectly. They are neat, clean, and very professional. Would recommend them to anyone in the area!

An amazing little shop in downtown Wilmington. Not only are they friendly and approachable, but they are very educational with piercings! Ive only been in twice, once to get my nose pierced and a second time to get it changed and a new ring for my nose piercing and they have been very helpful. I would definitely go back as well as recommend this shop to anyone looking for piercings or tattoos!

I always have a great experience when I go and get work done. The staff is friendly and knows that they are doing. In my experience it is always good to go in with a really good idea of what you want, then you and your artist can talk about it from there.

Ken was awesome and expertly tattooed me and my wife. We had a great time in the relaxed environment and would definitely go back. The shop was also very clean and everyone was fun and professional. Great shop!

Highly recommend. Talented artists, friendly service. Great experience!

Very clean place. The staff is so nice and the place is so unique. So much to see!

This was my first tatoo Eric was fantastic going back for more. Eric is most definitely a talent.

Let me start off by saying that all of the staff was incredibly kind and very laid back. This is the most comfortable and clean tattoo shop I’ve ever been to. I got a tattoo done by SHon as a start to my sleeve and the level of attentiveness and detail was so incredible and it made the experience that much better. He drew up countless designs and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. The line work was impeccable and I can’t wait to go back to add more!

Very professional and very clean ,, they take their time to make sure you get what you want ,,I’ve been to them 2 times and will never go anywhere else . Their ink work is the best quality well worth the prices.

Great place. Neat and clean and sanitary. Knowledgeable professionals. Good equipment.

Really great group of artists. They have fun and are very knowledgeable. If youre looking for piercing jewelry as well they sell also. Also nice home decor and tees so definitely check them out!

Staff is very friendly and professional. Thank you Ken for a beautiful work. I love my new tattoo. Great job!

The only place I go to get my tattoos I literally love everything about the shop the vibes and people

Great people and atmosphere, convenient parking near by, and best of all great artists

Great customer service! Friendly and helpful!

Everyone is super easy to talk to and will gladly answer any questions you have with no judgement. I got a bee done by Eric to cover up a lame stick and poke and scars I had on my wrist. Super painless and came out nicely. My boyfriend got a bridge piercing done by Shon and was very knowledgeable, explaining how he pierces, techniques, etc. Conversations are v easy to have too. Got my cartilage done by him too. (I’m there too much lol).

I get lost easily

Great staff very helpful. My daughter was also very happy with her piercing

Such a cool shop! I cant wait to go back for more ink.

Great staff, had my first tattoo done by Eric and he made sure I felt comfortable and was very friendly. The place was nice and clean.

Absolutely loved it.. Ken was the guy who did my tattoo... It was my first tattoo.. and it was just awesome

Everything was real good with my tattoo I love the hospitality and I made new friends when I think about what I want on my arm they will be the first tattoo parlor I will think of I like them a lot and everybody else should check them out as well

Awesome experience. Professional, friendly and beautiful work. Very reasonable prices. I had a blast, will definitely return. First time for me and I was treated with kid gloves. The place to go.

My artist is eric and he is honestly amazing he is so talented i refuse to let anyone us do my tats . I highly recomend going to eric!

Great experience! I walked in and was there for a total of 15 min max. Eric did a great job and I barely felt it; I got my belly button pierced. The shops piercing prices are definitely the best in the area too!

Very clean. Went in there for a tongue piercing, first time, and guy was relax and walk me thru the steps even though I went with a friend and got hers done before me. He was reassuring me that everything will be just fine. And if I feel like something is wrong to come back.

Amazing

Got my shoulder tattoo done here he was very clean sterile didnt like 20 minutes then even really feel it and it was on my chest will be going back

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 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!

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

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!

This tattoo parlour is the best I’ve been too! The staff and artists are extremely friendly, unique, laid back, and professional at the same time. The artwork that these artists produce is always extremely well done and tattooed as painlessly and quickly as possible, while still making the piece clean and looking good. I would recommend this place to anyone who’s looking to get a tattoo; if it’s your first, or if your filling out the last bit of blank canvas.

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 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.

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.

Sought out SHon based on his style of work, easily made an appointment for a consult and then appointment for the tattoo. SHon worked with me and my idea (and he had to re-draw a few times based on my wants) but worked until I was 100% satisfied. Im super happy with the work, great shop, everyone was friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back!

I came in 2016 for my birthday and got a gorgeous tattoo. A whole year later and the colors are still perfect! I got my ears and eyebrow pierced and while they didnt last very long (Im apparently not a piercing sort of person lol) they were administered perfectly by a skilled and licensed piercer.Honestly 10/10 I strongly recommend this place all the artists are amazing and its just great!

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!

Awesome experience w/Poppycock Tattoo & Piercing. Tina did a wonderful job with my mother on her first tattoo (my mom is a few days away from her 65th bday), me and my husband. Tina was sweet, funny, professional and does beautiful work. We look forward to getting more ink with the Poppy Team in the very near future.

Love this place my sister told me to go here and Im so glad I did! People were nice and personable very easy to talk to which made me relaxed before getting my tattoo. Pricing is very good for the amazing work done here. Definitely going back!

Fantastic! Talented, friendly staff. Shon is extremely detailed. Schedule an appointment today!

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.

Enjoyed my first tattoo experience at poppycock. I felt relaxed and comfortably and made to feel at home. Cant wait to go back again for my next tatoo!!! SHON YOU ROCK! Thank you for your kindness and patience!

The staff is really good at calming nerves. The piercing guys are great; and quite swift! Would definitely trust them to pierce me again!

Love this shop. My experience was absolutely amazing here!! I absolutely enjoyed Tina and her work is incredible. Cant watch to have another piece done by her

Im thrilled with both of the pieces I had done at Poppycock. The artists are very friendly and skilled in their work. I get compliments on my work all the time!

Absolutely awesome experience with Tina. My fiance now, girlfriend then, went and we had a great time. We will definitely be back to get one more ink. Great prices and awesome atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for their 1st or 12th tattoo. On point.

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!

I have a lot of garbage tattoos but the only good ones are from here. and boy howdy are they good.

They did my belly piercing the first time, and the second when it closed. they were quick, professional, and gentle. their shop is always welcoming and clean!!! would definitely get some ink from them too.

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.

Awesome shop & great artists. My ideas end up better than I imagined. Awesome laid back atmosphere as well.

It was great! They were friendly and answered all my questions. My tattoo was awesome! Exactly what i wanted. Place was clean and very professional. I recommended with a five star rating!!!

Im absolutely in love with my new tattoo. Eric sat down with me and we bounced suggestions off before I got in the chair. Eric, Tina, and the office manger (I didnt get her name) are all very friendly and personable. I would highly recommend Poppycock and I cant wait to get my next tattoo there.

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.

Got my first tattoo recently.I was made to feel at ease & it came out beautifully! Healed up very quickly. Would highly recommend!

I highly recommend going here for ink! The staff are clean, professional, and also hilariously funny. They made it so comfortable and fun for me and for my boyfriend. I will go here again!

Tina at Poppycock has given me a couple great pieces of ink. Very professional, great conversation, and very clean. Id recommend this please to anyone who is looking for a quality tattoo.

Such a great time every time I get work done and awesome work as well.

Excellent service. This was my first tattoo and the tattoo artist was very kind about it and made me feel A LOT less nervous, he was very reassuring and made sure the tattoo was perfect! Ill definitely be back with my friends.

I havent had any peircings in 10+ yrs. I wanted to get some ear peircings so i went in. They have very friendly staff! Shon did my peircing and has since done another, as well as change out and fit me for a ring on my ear. He does a great job and my experiences have been great and almost pain free! He really knows what hes doing and makes you feel comfortable. Certainly one of wilmingtons best tattoo shops! I will always come here for all tattoo and peircings.

Knowledgeable, good customer serbice/care. Will visit again...

Answered my questions, about getting a gift card.

Poppycock is in a great downtown location with parking options and public transit accessibility. The shop is welcoming and full of amazing art, and the staff is the friendliest Ive ever met. Tina (badass bosslady) is easy to work with and is a fantastic artist.

Yesterday I came to pick out noise ring was even instructions how take put it in. Well of course I end up breaking it. The staff was really nice about letting me get a new one since it had broke the night before. I never meantion that I have been here two yrs ago when Pat was the owner , He was Awesome! But the staff now with the exception of Tina I think was here name was horrible everyone played busy didnt want to HELP except for this one girl that might have been the boss and I do use that term lossly. She barked for the one guy to help me while she stood around doing nothing. Finally a very nice young Lady from the tattoo part offer to help me out and was able just that. I thanked and tipped her.As I was their Tina suggested that I get a hoop also because my nose ring that I have is sinking in so I did. It was 15 but was told I had to pay 5 dollars more after my service was complete because she put it in for me. Which I was never told from Allison ..... Needless to say they will never ever get business from me again.

I only go to Poppycock!!!. Whether Im getting a tattoo or piercing. They are the only ones who can get my hard earned money. The space is clean. The artists are amazing and I love them. They definitely have my loyalty!!!!!

Very clean and sanitary, which is SUPER important. Great pricing. Fantastic people & atmosphere. Artists are all extremely talented and professional. Will continue to use Poppycock as my go to shop for tattoos and piercings.

Cool atmosphere, very talented tattoo artists!

I walked in there fresh off work and decided to get my nose pierced and Eric was professional and answered all my questions was friendly I would definitely recommend going here for piercings!

Love the shop and people that work here! theyre all extremely friendly, quirky and talented! wouldnt ever dream of going anywhere else!

Awesome staff and shop! Will definitely return for more!

Tina is a fantastic tattoo artist. We are working on a forearm coverup and Im super impressed. Cant wait to get my color this Friday. My art nouveau tattoo is going to be beautiful. Great shop!
