Hand-poke tattoos, also known as stick-and-poke, are created without machines, using only a needle and ink. This technique is more gentle and organic, giving each tattoo a unique texture and aesthetic. It’s an intentional process, one that allows for deeper meaning and connection. My clients often tell me how meditative and soulful the experience is. It’s not just about the tattoo itself, but the energy and intention that goes into each poke.
