⟡ ABOUT HAND-POKE ⟡

.
☁️🌷☁️
what is hand poke?➥ hand-poke is a method of tattooing using no machine. lines are created by methodically poking ink into the skin by hand with professional ink and needles ᐧ༚̮ᐧ
☁️do hand-poke tattoos hurt?➥ it depends on the spot and person’s pain tolerance — it’s a tattoo, so it’s a bit of a tender experience, overall. more of a “pinchy” sensation than anything. a lot of folks I’ve tattooed have told me that it hurts a lot less than they thought & majority say the pain is way less compared to a machine tattoo.
☁️do you use colour?➥ my style is mostly black ink with the occasional colour accents. I am open to incorporating more colour into your design by request :o)
