About

Tina Marabito 

Owner / Tattooist at Poppycock Tattoo

 I attended Camden County College for Fine Arts, as well as CCTI for Commercial Graphics and Ornamental Welding. (I have a wrought iron Papasan chair that I made in class that is currently a glorified dog bed). After college I began my tattoo apprenticeship and career in South Jersey. In December of 2009,  I moved to Wilmington Delaware and opened my shop, ​Poppycock Tattoo. We just celebrated our 10 year anniversary! 
​I enjoy painting and tattooing vibrant traditional & neo traditional designs. Some of my favorite subjects are botanicals and dapper animals. I love all things kitschy & vintage, including my 1962 woodgrain Ford Ranchero. 
  • Peruse my store for gift card, merch & artwork. 
  • Check out my calendar for conventions, art shows and community events I'll be attending. ​​
I wanted to create a shop that was comfortable, professional and fun.
"Tina is a phenomenal artist! I had the pleasure of having my beautiful cover piece designed by her a few years back. I don't live close anymore but plan to trek back soon to have her do some more soon hopefully.."

"This place is ah-mazing!!! Tina was so awesome every step of the way with answering all questions as well as being so personable and understanding when choosing the location of the tattoo/ moving it around as well as minor design tweaks! 10/10 recommend to anyone looking to get another tattoo, but especially for first-timers! Such a relaxed and upbeat atmosphere!"
