A brief walkthrough:

Handpoke tattoos 󠁯•󠁏 non-machine 󠁯•󠁏 is a method of tattooing that is done manually by applying dot by dot with a single (clusters) needle. Handpoke tattooing is one of the oldest forms of body art, with roots in numerous ancient cultures. It is a gentler way of tattooing, generally less painful compared to the machine counterpart with a quicker healing process. The healing process is quicker and easier because there’s less trauma on the skin as it is done manually by hand. The process is quiet, intimate and have been described as meditative as well.

For me personally, creating handpoke tattoos have been a beautiful way to create tattoos. The process is gentle on the body, skin and mind. It is my favorite way to create my tattoos and forge a quiet meditative connection with my clients.
