The Black Poppy Tattoo Parlour

The Black Poppy Tattoo Parlour is a tattoo studio in Cork specializing in fully customised, personalised tattoos crafted by both national and international guest artists. The team specializes in fine line tattoos, botanical floral designs, ornamental work, and black and grey realism, alongside colour realism, cover-ups, pet portraits, illustrative blackwork, horror tattoos, micro realism, and small colour illustrative pieces. Piercing services are also offered. Staff and artists come from around the world, and the studio operates in English, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, welcoming clients of all ages and backgrounds.

The approach centres on collaboration, with an initial consultation to discuss each client's vision, a mock test of the design, and an agreed rate before booking the final session. Top-grade materials and vegan inks are used throughout to keep the tattooing process as comfortable as possible. Each artist brings a distinct skill set, working with precision, flair, and consideration to turn customer ideas into lasting, exclusive designs. The studio aims to create a friendly, relaxed, and professional environment where clients feel comfortable developing their personal style, whether they're after a small, subtle piece or a larger, more elaborate tattoo.
