✦ What is a "Stick and Poke" or "Hand Poke" Tattoo?

A Stick and Poke tattoo is an ancient and intimate form of non-electric tattooing. Instead of a machine, the design is crafted by hand, using a single sterile tattoo needle on the bar that is gently and repeatedly poked into the skin, creating dots that come together as a unique and meaningful tattoo.

✦ How Long Does a Hand Poke Tattoo Usually Take?

Most hand poke tattoos take 1 to 3 hours to complete. Larger or more intricate pieces may require additional time/sessions.

✦ Does a Hand Poke Tattoo Last as Long as a Machine Tattoo?

Yes. When properly cared for, hand poke tattoos are permanent and will last just as long as those done with a machine.
