Hand poked Tattoos
15
I provide handpoked tattoos using industry-grade tools and inks. Custom as well as flash designs available, and I am able to bring my equipment right to you! Whether in your own home, or studio or in my own artistic space where I have three very loving cats and plenty of excellent movies and music to enjoy!
Handpoke tattooing methods are a much more traditional form of tattooing. It is the raw, ancient form of tattooing that different cultures have practiced for generations. Handpoking has a very rich history (see also; Bamboo tattooing) and it offers silence from the hum of a machine, opportunities for meditations and conversation. I like the hybrid form of handpoking tattooing that has the spirit of ancient cultural practices and the precision of modern-day equipment.
I reside in Nanaimo British Columbia and I would be available to provide my tattoos all over Vancouver Island and within the greater city of Vancouver on the mainland. My instagram is the best way by which to see new designs and tattoos, and I have a large portfolio available upon request.
