How does it work?
Handpoke means that you get a tattoo WITHOUT the use of a tattoo machine. The needle that normally goes into a tattoo machine is used manually.
Same result
A handpoke tattoo gives the same result as a machine tattoo. The ink is poked into the same layer of skin and stays in place just as long. It's just a different method.
dot by dot
The tattoo is created by inserting ink dot by dot into the skin. Unlike a machine tattoo where it is done so quickly that lines can appear immediately. Handpoke is therefore less harsh on your skin, as it requires less frequent poking.
Time intensive
Because handpoke tattooing is done dot by dot, it is more time intensive. A handpoke tattoo session can therefore take a lot longer. If you want a time indication of your session, please ask me!
