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.
  • If you have heart-related conditions, diabetes, epilepsy, or similar medical conditions, the procedure may be difficult to proceed.

    Please make sure to consult in advance, as eligibility for the procedure may vary depending on your condition and any medications you are taking. A medical certificate may be requested if necessary.

  • If you have blood-borne infectious diseases (such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV, etc.), tattoo procedures are not possible.

    If you are taking related medication, the procedure may only be possible if you provide a doctor’s note.

  • All materials used during the procedure are single-use, and all tools are thoroughly sterilized after each session.Additionally, for hygiene management, all areas that come into contact are covered with wrap or protective film during the procedure.

    All consumables are disposed of immediately after single use, and the workspace and equipment are thoroughly disinfected and managed before and after each session.

  • If you are pregnant, may be pregnant, or are currently breastfeeding, tattoo procedures are not possible.

    Due to potential risks such as infection and skin reactions during the procedure, it is not possible to proceed under these conditions.
    Consultation is available after sufficient recovery following childbirth.

  • If you have alcohol or drug dependency, the procedure may be difficult to proceed.

    If symptoms of alcohol or substance dependence are present, tattoo procedures may be difficult due to risks such as bleeding and adverse physical reactions during the procedure.
