“i don’t just like pictures on the body, i like it to be the body itself” yew just spoke my soul, sistar 💚 that’s what i always tell people and one of the reasons why i haven’t gotten tattooed yet. hearing another person saying that gives me so much comfort ((especially an actual tattoo artist)) ! id love to get some symbols hand poked eventually 🙏🏼

I just got a little fish on the side of my finger two days ago and it was done this way but with a machine.. im confused as my first finger tattoo was done the normal way with a machine.. was this right to do the poke method with a machine

[@TattooShopTalk]

As long as it stays there. There are no right or wrong method

[@evegibbins4887]

Thank you x

[@tantramantra1]

Stunningly beautiful work from stunningly beautiful woman. Respect!!

[@spudfurfy]

hi habba \m/ i got tattooed by boff and i worked with habba and boff while they were in ireland on guest spots :)

[@MB-jr7yp]

What is it that hand poke tattoo artist use to wrap the needle with for a good grip?? It has to be something you throw away each time... I have seen different ways to do it and still have no idea what it is. It seems some use a white stick object and other just tapes?? Anyone can tell ?!

[@TattooShopTalk]

Maybe it's a secret of trade :) But everyone have their own tricks

[@MB-jr7yp]

tell me moooooore......why secrets? I dont like secrets haha

[@brynmetcalf6069]

Try taping the needle to a popsicle stick with tattoo grip tape or strapping tape.

[@pandoradolls]

grip tape works great, most proper tattoo supply shops carry it

[@vanessareddish8644]

Personally I use that athletic wrap stuff it’s also called sensi wrap on tattoo supply websites

[@ryanbain2667]

Does anyone know what size needles she uses? I'm using 5rl and still going over a few times to get the line in straight? Thanks

[@TattooShopTalk]

+Ryan Thomas you can try to contact her and you might get an answer or even better - book a session and you will see it first hand.

[@ryanbain2667]

Tattoo Shop Talk thank you I will do 🤘🏻

[@brynmetcalf6069]

Try a 7rl or a 9rl

[@KennethNicholson1972]

If you are a new handpoker, try using anywhere from 09 to 13 gauge as a bigger needle set is easier to make good solid lines with. I'm just going down to 05 and 03 now and I'm finding it a challenge lol. My thighs will have to just get nice coverups done by my good friend, lol.

[@emilwestgaardhenriksen1715]

Angle of putting the needle into the skin is importsnt as well, about 45° inthe direction of the line is optimal. Realized this was a really old comment but yeah 😅

[@rockstarsmg3632]

@3:47 is that a swastika on her palm?🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TattooShopTalk]

If it is - it's not the kind you're thinking about

[@vanessareddish8644]

It’s a Hindu symbol for Harmony 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@ad6449]

I suspect those are ancient Icelandic symbols especially in the context of what is on her fingers and the other palm. It's not a swastika.

[@neotyppe4469]

It was originally a religious symbol in germanic cultures (that includes iceland) After looking at it again it doesn't look like one anyways but my point still stands.

[@anthonyvulgamore5073]

It doesn't mean what you think

[@TheTimothy8136]

The only con of hand poking is that it’s fades faster!!!!

[@TattooShopTalk]

I think you haven't been around good handpoking. It's one of methods that make ink stay where it usually wouldn't

[@TheTimothy8136]

Tattoo Shop Talk if she was around my area or she travels, I would definitely have her give me a handpoked tattoo!!

[@KennethNicholson1972]

All traditional Japanese tattooing is handpoked. These guys are true masters and I can assure you that if done properly, handpoke lasts just as long as machine work. Handpoking gets a bad reputation because of the home kitchen stick and poke noobs that have little knowledge or experience. Anyone can scar someone with ink but a true handpoke tattooist has studied for many many years.
