Hand poke tattoos, also known as "stick and poke" or "machine-free" are permanent tattoos made without the aid of machinery.
Yes! Hand poke tattoos apply ink into the skin in the same way a machine does, with the same needles, except each dot is done by hand. If performed correctly, a hand poke tattoo is permanent in the same way a machine tattoo is.
Yes. Touch ups are included in the price of your tattoo. If you feel your tattoo needs some extra TLC after it has healed, please reach out to book in a refresh appointment.
Leading up to your appointment, keep your skin exfoliated and moisturised, and away from direct sunlight. I cannot tattoo sunburned skin. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior, as this thins your blood and decreases chances of tattoo ink staying in your skin. Eat a good meal before the session, and be sure to hydrate. You should brings snack and drinks to the appointment, especially if it is a larger tattoo.
A day session is a full day of tattooing just you. This could be 1 large tattoo, the start of an ongoing project (a sleeve, a full back piece etc) or a collection of smaller tattoos. Day sessions are a set price of £450, and run from 11am - 6pm with breaks and lunch.
A flash tattoo is a pre-drawn design that you choose. Some flash designs are repeatable but most are only tattooed once.
A flash rework is a modified version of a flash design. I offer this if a flash piece you want has already been tattooed.
A custom design is a unique drawing based on your own idea, that will only be tattooed once on you.
