Tattoo machines basically dominate the market, but there is a technique that little by little is gaining more notoriety among lovers of this art: the handpoked, which in Portuguese would be something like “spetado à mano”. The method is not new, far from it. But, over the years, it is conquering more and more people.
To make the handpoked (also called stick and poke), you don’t need electricity, because the insertion of the pigment into the skin is done with a single needle, in an almost handmade way — and it is because of this that the time for finishing is greater than than that of “conventional” tattoos.
Browsing the internet, the team incredible.club found true works of art made entirely with the technique. Check it out below and, who knows, you might be convinced to look for a professional who works with handpoked for your first (or next) tattoo?
