Hello, this is Deii, a handpoke tattoo artist.
Thank you for your inquiry!
To ensure a smooth process, I would appreciate it if you could take a moment to read the information below. Thank you :)
Also, after reviewing everything, please make sure to complete the process by clicking “🏷️ reservation form” at the bottom.
Tattoos are permanent and stay with you for life.
With that in mind, I always do my best to create something meaningful and memorable.
I truly hope the piece you receive becomes a happy memory for you :)
🪡 What is 'handpoke'?
Handpoke is a tattooing method where each dot is done manually without using a machine.
- Compared to machine tattoos, there is minimal noise and vibration, allowing for a quieter and more comfortable experience.
Handpoke generally causes less skin damage, making healing easier and aftercare more manageable.
- Depending on skin type and aftercare, peeling is usually completed within 10 days to 2–3 weeks.
- As the skin is less traumatized, the chances of irritation or complications are generally lower compared to machine tattoos (especially if the area is not prone to sweat or friction).
The process may take slightly longer than machine work, but in my case, the difference is not significant.
- If you’re curious about the estimated time, feel free to ask :)
I only work using the handpoke method.
- Please note that machine tattooing is not available.
