That’s quite an interesting name. Gonna go see what it’s about this
This shop will do well. Poppy's girls are better than the competition ànd at fair prices. We all know this is the formula for a successful shop. She started by herself in January this year in one of the areas with the highest competition in Brisbane and has turned it into one of the top shops in Brisbane. Northsiders will be happy they don't need to cross the river anymore.

OK Let's see Pome how she goes
Pome
What is a fair price Sir with stunning staff and do they charge less than the old Chinese Boilers?
I know all prices my girls charged Sir
Good Luck Poppy once again
I went past with one of my ex-Staff-a-Thai today around 2.00 PM
The shop fitters' bits and bobs were in the front room area reception
About 3 Meters from the door customers of cafe 66 were sitting outside having a snake
They glanced over at me as I looked through the glass door
Boomerang is very busy as well as I have attended
With another couple of massage shops within walking distance
I saw 2 Thai lady boys close to the shop car park unloading a car
Maybe they have an Interest as well
Hot girls can be hard to find as in stunning girls- young and slim
The name does not worry me but it is an unusual name IMO
Just Saying

Ok...all shops are owned by Chinese, and then they have a forum to discuss the shops they own amongst themselves......who wudda thunk...
The people here in the forum who like Poppy, her shop, her girls will probably not care what she calls her new shop and visit no matter what.
I myself also don't really give half a shiny sausage. She can name her shop Heroin, Fentanyl, Oxycodone, Ketamine or Crack massage for all I care. In a lot of people though 'Opium' might evoke unfavourable connotations, and then combine this with this particular location where there is no back entrance and a fairly popular café right next door....
Imagine you are someone in need of a massage, you walk through an area and you spot two shops, both are next to a well frequented coffee shop with lots of outdoor seating. One shop is named Jacaranda Massage, the other one Opium Massage. You know nothing about both shops. Which one do you choose?
The sign still says “TikTok Massage” at the moment


Why do massage shops even need massive signs in the window?
Do they expect walk ins at 10am? guys just cruising by going oh boy ill duck in for a 45min handy real quick now ive seen there is a shop here!
No most guys plan out there adventuring ahead of time, they book or they travel to there, I don't even punt on my side of town I drive 20mins away from my house to shops out of the way, I know where I am going.
I think having the cafe next door does turn guys off abit, so why not just have a non descript address sign, without the giant words MASSAGE in the window.
It seems like something they all just do cause everyone else does it without much thought, could always have a sign to put on after dark, but keep it behind a curtain during the day when cafes full of grandmas and mums.
Ive been to poppy/take 5/5star and everywhere in between, ive driven past probably 50 other shops ive never once gone into a shop I have driven by cause I saw a sign out front.
It's like Vegas. The signs and the lights are excessive. They promise exactly that... excess.


I dont know if you have been to Tiktok nundah before, but there is two massive signs out front that both say massage on them and a very popular cafe chain with outdoor seating thats full pretty much all day long.
I went there couple of times and I can understand people from the area hesitancy to go there, your literally in view of the entire cafe going into a place with 2 big signs with massage on them it's very noticeable and you will get stared at as you leave.
Most punters value discretion even if they are not married or what not.
I personally would feel much more comfortable, if the signage just said Poppys or Opium whatever on it, not the have MASSAGE plastered all over.
I think the upside of signage is pretty much zero unless you want clueless women occasionally wandering in and the downside is pretty impactful due to it's location, if there is prominent massage signage I wouldn't bother go there myself, there are other places like westone with a quiet back door that work.

I agree with you thunder545454. Its very discomfort into enter to in the shop when full of cafe customers are watching. Another thing is, the amazing MLs will not prefer to work in these shops which are not private / discrete. Its just not customers but MLs also will have problem.






So there is no back door at this new shop? If not, I won't be going there. Not walking in and out with a cafe full of people right at the entrance. I go to poppies at Carina sometimes so happy to just go there.
Surely this limits business? I would imagine most guys will avoid the shop due to this.





Herpetology-she's a proven winner in Carina. She's worked at this shop previously and you have no idea about the deal she's done for the property. If you want to know fair prices for top service why don't you visit her shop in Carina? I highly recommend 🙂
Personally, I'm pretty happy we are gonna have top girls on the Northside. I don't care about the name and as I'm an afternoon/evening customer I don't care about the cafe. I do care about top quality service with top girls.
I've visited this shop plenty of times when it was Tiktok as did many other punters on here. As a customer, it seems obvious that the more shops and the more competition the better it is for us.
Of course, Herpetology, has a business that will have to complete with Opium so I can understand his negativity. Other punters should be happy they now have a top option on the Northside. Herpetology- I guess we'll see....
I've added a new page for Opium looks good.


I do hope it returns to its former glory. This was one of the only Northside options.
