⟡ ABOUT HAND-POKE ⟡

✿ ♡︎☻︎ 🐌 ✿ 18+

.
☁️🌷☁️
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.
☁️how much time does a palm sized tattoo take?➥ it ultimately depends on placement & detail -- arms, legs / accessible spots take around 1-1.5 ♡︎ torso, tummy, upper shoulder, clavicle & back placements take around 1.5-2 hrs!
☁️how long do your tattoos take?➥ most of my tattoo flash designs usually take me anywhere from 20 mins to 1.5-2 hrs to complete, depending on the size & placement! bigger designs (5” or more) bridge into 2.5 - 4 hrs.
☁️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)

what’s non-repeatable flash (one-off)➥ non repeatable flash means that the design is only tattoo’d once — special and unique to one person & is first come, first serve.I do my best to do larger seasonal releases of non-repeatable flash. I make sure to update my newsletter / IG stories with date & time of release.
☁️what’s repeatable flash?➥ repeatable flash are limitless in how many times I tattoo them on folks. I do my best to share new repeatable flash designs every monday on my website & grid.
☁️are you open to making changes in your pre-existing flash?➥ i am potentially willing to make small changes to a flash design - if your heart is calling out for added details or slightly different features, feel free to reach out ♡︎☁️🌷☁️
☁️ flash drawing process ☁️
☁️ ☁️ ☁️➥ I usually originally craft my designs on 11” x 14” watercolour paper with paint and ink (flash sheet)➥ I also really love to illustrate pages in my art journal & use these crafted pages to create designs that I often times share monthly.how often do you release new designs?➥ I do my best to do larger seasonal releases of non-repeatable flash designs & share smaller designs bi-weekly on mondays @ 3pm CST! ♡︎➥ I do m'darnedest to update both instagram and my website with designs — from there, it is a first come, first serve process to be booked through my booking form. i will always respond to let folks know if they got the design or if it’s been claimed.
