HAND-POKE TATTOO
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.
My designs are inspired by the wisdom of the planets and the natural world. They’re mystical pieces, filled with intention. If you’re drawn to one of my designs, it’s likely meant for you—even if you don’t fully understand its meaning. Whether it's the mythology behind a design or the simple aesthetic, each piece is crafted to resonate with your energy.
Hand-poking is a slow and gentle process. Using just a needle and ink, I carefully bring your chosen design to life, one dot at a time. This method allows for a more intimate, organic experience than machine tattoos. Each poke is intentional, making the experience as soulful as the result.
I began as a self-taught, nomadic artist, traveling wherever the sun and waves took me. Over the years, I’ve honed my craft, working with clients who want more than just a tattoo—they want a piece of art that speaks to their soul. Now, I’m based in my studio in Bristol, where I welcome anyone looking for an intentional, meaningful tattoo experience.
My studio space is in Bristol, so if you're looking for a Bristol hand poke tattoo artist, I'd love to hear from you.
All my sessions are pre-booked appointments. Once you have booked your hand poke tattoo appointment, I will share the exact location of the studio with you.
I'm available for bookings Mon-Sun : 1000 - 1700.
