Well, not exactly like this, of course. Even though I get a lot of inspiration from tattoo history and hand poke is a perfect technique to replicate vintage tattoo texture, my approach is totally modern. I use pre-made needles - the same needles on a bar that people use in coil tattoo machines - while keeping the process as safe as possible. Almost everything I use (except furniture and spray bottles) is single-use, ensuring hygiene and precision. So, even though some people call this technique 'old school,' it's not entirely authentic to how tattoos were historically done. Honestly, I wish tattoo artists of the past had access to the supplies we have now. Back in the day, the most common tattoo technique was incredibly rudimentary: literally cutting simple designs into the skin with a regular knife, then rubbing ash or ink into the wound. In the 18th and 19th centuries, hand tools varied widely depending on culture and geography. Indigenous tattooing methods often included tools made of sharpened bone, ivory, or wood tied with natural fibers. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, tattooing became more formalized in the West with the introduction of professional tattoo machines (thanks to Samuel O' Reilly patenting the first electric tattoo machine in 1891, based on Thomas Edison's autographic pen). Before that, however, Western tattooists had to rely on handmade needles, painstakingly sharpened and used repeatedly after being sterilized - if sterilization was even considered. In many ways, hand-poke tattooing bridges the gap between those early traditions and modern safety standards. It's a blend of historical reverence and the advances we're lucky to have today. If you've never experienced hand-poked tattooing, it's a truly unique and timeless process — and one I'm passionate about bringing to life. 💌follow the link in bio to book your next tattoo appointment 📍Long Beach, California #handpoke #nonelectrictattoo #machinefreetattooartist #tattooinspo #stickandpokeideas #tattootiktok #undergroundtattoo #tattoo #handpoketurorial #tattooprogress #tattooartist #tattootutorial

Building Luke’s vintage navy-inspired sleeve 💪⚓️ This trooper crushed two more tattoos before we even tackled this beast of an elbow piece. Watch to the end for the reveal + healed shots. Of course, elbow is a tricky and painful spot that requires special approach for such a stretchy and dry and thick but still delicate type of skin. Pain scale? High. Satisfaction? Higher. Who else braved the elbow?

Adding those ✨white highlights✨ at the end feels like pure magic—makes the whole design pop. But let’s get real: healed white ink won’t stay that snowy-paper white we all dream of. Once it’s under your skin, it’ll soften—sometimes even taking on yellowish or greenish tones depending on your skin tone or how much sun you catch ☀️. Totally normal! That’s why I never use white as a standalone element—it’s all about the contrast with black/grey to create those 🔥 subtle pops. So, do you believe in the power of white highlights? 💌follow the link in bio to start your next tattoo journey 📍Long Beach, California #handpoke #nonelectrictattoo #machinefreetattoo #stickandpokeideas #tattooinspo #tattootiktok #undergroundtattoo #tattoolover #tattooprogress #tattooartist #tattootutorial #tattoo

🎉 2024 Recap: What a Ride! 🎉 First full year in the USA, and it’s been unreal. Found my little refuge here and made it feel like home. 🏠 💉 Almost finished my patchwork sleeves and got a chest piece (!!) thanks to some insanely talented artists. Made so many cool tattoo projects it still feels unreal—huge love to my amazing clients for trusting me. ✨ Started taking dance classes and performed TWICE. New main character unlocked. 🌃 Traveled to NYC twice (saw my fave musical on Broadway 😭) + visited Chicago. Stayed in a 5-star hotel for the first time and felt like a luxury girly. 🧴 Fought the scariest acne of my life and came out glowing. 🌀 Got lost, found myself again in therapy, and kept growing. Your turn—drop your 2024 wins in the comments. Let’s celebrate growth together. 🙌 #handpoke #nonelectrictattoo #machinefreetattoo #stickandpokeideas #machinefreetattoo #tattooinspo #tattootiktok #undergroundtattoo #tattoolover #tattootutorial #tattoo #2024recap #2025

🪭This little piece is inspired by the iconic illustrations from the 1920s, created by Ethel Hays. Flapper Fanny was the embodiment of the flapper era—bold, playful, and unapologetically free. Her illustrations are filled with charm and wit, making them timeless inspirations for tattoo art. I have more Flapper Fanny-inspired flashes waiting for you in my highlights, or if you have a favorite illustration, I’d be thrilled to tattoo it! Honestly, I love them all and can’t wait to create more of these vintage-inspired gems. 💌 follow the link in bio to book your next tattoo appointment 📍Long Beach, CA🇺🇸 🏛️ @outerlimitstattoo ➡️Dallas, TX🇺🇸 1-3 March ➡️Chicago, IL 🇺🇸 1-6 April #handpoke #nonelectrictattoo #machinefreetattooartist #tattooinspo #stickandpokeideas #tattootiktok #undergroundtattoo #undergroundtattooing #tattoo #handpoketurorial #tattooprogress #navytattooidea
