So You Want a Hand Poked Tattoo | Tattoo Styles 

Yea I did a whole half sleeve stick n poke lol. Took me 2 weeks to finish

SauceUp713 Ayye how many hours a day?

@@hala-tb8jz I was in prison when I did it so around 8 hours a day with breaks in between due to guards coming in😂

@@sauceup713ayye7 wait can you link to a picture that sounds dope as hell

ABSTRVKTBLVCK lt only takes a little practice to get fast. Don’t give up man! You’ll get there.

😂😂😂😂

They already do

Torture Killah2 not good unless you want a bunch of kids with infected tattoos because they’re all idiots

I did one in high school , faded but was healthy and looked decent

@@RATsnak3 clean needle and keep the tattoo clean you won't get an infection I've done 5 tattoos on myself 1 stick n poke 4 done by a machine none of them got infected I'm not saying it can't happen but generally if you use a clean needle keep the tattoo clean you'll be good

Oh I respect him, I'm just not letting anyone do that on me. Everything old is new again. It's amazing the artwork they produced and the shading just by poking without machines.

Probably because they think stick and poke is the scary shit you see on worst tats ever, not an actual style to give a certain effect I know I did

I haven't seen as much hate towards the entirety of hand poked tattoos as I have to some of the unsanitary practices some of the "pros" work with. I can see why a studio artist would be hating on someone tattooing out of their bedroom because it's generally a lot riskier but I also think that some of the hate could stem from tattooers who busted their ass in an apprenticeship seeing people they would basically deem as scratchers getting a lot of the clients and props they feel entitled to. Honestly tho it's all about being sanitary, people can get whatever tattoos they like as long as they're being safe! Except for that intentionally sketchy shit you see nowadays, I seriously don't understand that

I agree at the end of the day it's about being smart and sanitary no matter how you get your tattoo. I have seen negative reactions from actual tattoo artists about hand poke in general, and obviously the unsanitary and unprofessional aspect of it is bad and shouldn't be encouraged. And it is frowned upon by all including professional hand poke tattooers just how the same goes for any one who buys a tattoo machine and does it at home.

Hes taking an old technique to do a modern font (sign writing paint style) piece, and it looks like garbage, on top of that the camera and people around him most likely made him feel like he had to keep talking, which (in my opinion) made him sound pompous. Doesn't matter if this is its origin, quality above quantity ALL DAY LONG.

Ness no talent is needed. stick behind the thing and master it through progress over time. Stop hiding behind that silly word > talent

@@abrakadeep8810 r/iamverysmart type beat

some are and some arent. you have to have way more skill to use a fast moving vibrating machine. and to keep it at the right depth. with stick and poke you can only go so deep unless your driving the needle in. the problem is you have to explain to everyone that it is a poke tattoo, if you dont they will just seen bad shading and line work. but like he said himself compared to the pros he isnt that good.

Ness no talent here. this is a tattoo version for hipster artists too shit to work normally and schoolgirls too poor to get a professional tattoo but want to be hip. This is the poor man’s alternative to tattoo. Doing stick and poke and calling yourself a tattoo master is like flipping burgers and calling yourself Chef.

Ness watch the Japanese stick and poke artist, unbelievable

Reynaldo Justo II u gave me a business idea

that's how they do in brooklyn 😆

In Japan the traditional 'body suit' is about $40000

the same

pablito it's also very hard to find tattoo artists in Japan because it's so heavily taboo.

same, im kinda mad lmao

at the END. lol

Of course you didn't, it would show a hundred imperfections, the tattoo looked like shit.

In the end it didn't even matter

Highhopessince 92 i have videos like that tho if you’re interested. Also check my Instagram for more of my work.

I was just thinking that as I watched it. The latest bunch of artists they have on the show seem pretty pretentious to me.

It really emphasizes the incredible hypocrisy of the tattoo industry

I mean, they were mostly bashing "I'm 14 and my friend just used pen ink and a sewing needle to give me my first tattoo in his basement" type stick and pokes, and that's totally fair.

@@MikusDad39 yeah but it shows a big indefference on their part for largely associating stick and pokes with 14 year olds and not with the root of their profession

@@felixgodotbeiner306 Most if not all of them have been using machines exclusively for many years and stick and poke as a legitimate tattoo practice isn't exactly common, it's not their fault industry standards have changed enough that stick and pokes are mainly associated with amateurs nowadays.

Do they stay as long as machine or how long do they stay?

@@neotyppe4469 depends a lot on the skill of the artist, type of ink and how precisely they can poke at the same level, if some lines go deep and others are further up they'll look uneven, just like with machines. In some cases they'll look sharp for much longer than a professional machine tattoo, while other times they look rough much quicker. They stay forever, but just like with machine tattoos a bad one can look more like a blob than what it was before in 10 or 30 years depending on a lot of factors. If one wants to do one on themselves with no experience, they have to expect it to blur and fade quite quickly, at least the first few tattoos they do. Still, I'm probably going to do a few on myself if I still want to years down the line, with the right needles, sterilization and ink ofc. For me there's just sometihng more personal with doing a few myself, even if the results won't look as good as people who have practiced for years.

@@bqualitysnake6549 thank you for the great info

Jade Harley I respect that, be well friend

This guys lines look like absolute shit

Ive been trying to figure it myself, i generally just go over it about 4 or 5 times to make it darker, is there a better way to get dark lines?

@@loganenlow4603 work on your angles I stick to 15-25degrees your pushing ink into the line long ways as opposed to just repetitive poking, you'll find an angle that works for you

It didn't work with this one either, that's a bad tattoo.

Same - it's so quiet and almost meditative. But yeah, machines for the bigger stuff.

IsSarahPi depends on the artist. I’d get my back done if I could find a good Handpoke artist in my country who’s able to make a large piece

I have 4 and even though they are small, I find them really calming and love doing them.

Honestly not as bad as you think, but it does take for fucking ever

Don't be, I have about 14 hand pokes tats and 3 machine done. Hand pokes hurt so much less, they normally feel like a pinch.

Agreed, don't worry, it's so much less painful and it's quite relaxing getting it done.

Levi Full Impact k9 did you?

I have 6 hand poked and 1 machine tattoo, I personally prefer hand poked.

@@rorytung6103 sometimes is nice to help

Thank you so much. I was getting so bored ✨✨✨

thank you, I appreciate it.

Thanks for clarifying that it’s old I thought they used rotary and coil machines in the 1800s

@@downforanything1265 you're so bad 🤪

808sandblvke we also support each other more

I find the opposite is true.

Agreed 👍🏼💯

I want a tebori Which is like the more traditional tattoo design

@@ani1god433 sweet , I like that idea 👍🏻💜

@@ani1god433 tebori ain't a design, it's a tattooing tool. Getting a tebori tattoo means that you're getting a handpoke tattoo with an special and old Japanese tool.

copper star misery it’s definitely a special experience when it’s done properly

@@EzgiJo I bet it is. I love regular tattoos so stick and poke would probably make me happier lol

Yup a good advice , when you Are alone for a good time you tend To forget what you like about yourself and sometimes you make mistake that will stay forever this goes for something as silly as tattoo To even breakup . And the regrets stay there

Nah, I think imma go for it

But... tattoos are cool hahaha

Too late

Lewis 225 same but I like it

Is it not a painful as it is with the machine?

Vee CR probably not as painful yeah

@@veecr4675 just about the same. Probably less so honestly.

can i ask on which part of the body did you get it done?

@@keishasantamaria8190 Of course! its on the inside of my forearm, just beneath my elbow.

Buy some different size mags. That will speed things up a lot. You can line with them too if you get the right ones.

using shader needles makes things easier and more professional

@@ip300 yeah I use round shaders and just use different sizes for finer or thicker lines. Goes way faster than the way most people try and do it with tiny liner needles.

I was wondering that as well, why the drop shadow didn't match

I thought the same shit that he was hiding a fuck up, but in the beginning the stencil is exactly how he did it..odd choice imo

Aside from the abysmally bad hygiene conditions, stick and poke parties do sound really fun

Jaiden Frangou-Mayer stick n pokes are definitely more connecting and personal in my opinion

it's actually a lot less painful than machine tattoos, and they heal better

stick n poke is less agressive than machine to skin

bubby66cd depends on what you expect from stick and poke. I think you could do any style with it.

Same here, just ordered everything off Amazon as well as a sailor jerry stencil book. Gonna dedicate my left leg to self made stick n poke pieces. Good luck with your journey!

Me too 🤦🏽‍♀️ lol

it hurts way less than a maschine t

Julius Really?

@@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris9623 yh i promise, does lesser damage to your skin too

Julius Oh okay.

just did a flower rn 😋

EatingTheRainbow 😍 she’s an amazing Handpoke artist for sure

No it started in Samoa

@@tristinmaaloga8772 No it didn't. I took a whole ass history class on tattoos. It started in New Zealand. Google the shit.

@Bøņę Đąđđý New Zealand is in Europe and it started there then because of sailors and their fascination with tattoos it travelled. Google the shit. 🤦🏾‍♂️

How do you explain otzi then?

@@CodyPlayzGamez they were just three lines so it was probably just a one of thing that his "group" i guess? Found out

Tebori is what it's called

Exactly....I wished this would get more credit instead of "Handpoke" pay homage to traditions and culture. 👌🏾✨
