What Does Hand Poke Tattoo Mean

A hand poke tattoo (or ‘stick-and-poke’) is an ancient method of tattooing that uses a single needle and traditional ink to create designs. The hand poke technique has been around for thousands of years, and is believed to have been used by Indigenous cultures all over the world. Hand poke tattoos are created manually, with a single needle that is tapped into the skin, rather than machines or rotors that are used in other types of tattooing. This is a much slower process and often results in a more subtle, organic tattoo. Hand poke tattoos can also be great for people with sensitive skin, as there are fewer needles and vibrations being exposed to the skin.
