10 SUPER #handpoke artists to follow

There are tons of reasons to follow #stickandpoke tattooers on Instagram! They’re an eclectic and talented bunch of artists, weirdos, and activists from all over the world, connecting to the art form in a myriad of ways. They each have intriguing reasons to compile and showcase their #handpoked tattoos on the gram, whether their stick and poke practice seems to be more therapeutic both to them personally and to their communities, or because they’re using a more accessible tattooing method to make their $$$ in an impossible socio-economy, or because they are radicals using #machinefree tattoos to resist the oppressive racist & heteropatriarchal capitalism under which we are all forced to struggle and create.

Poking in 2007 – Throw Back Thursday

We've come so far! Out with the old, in with the new....

This article, "Stick 'n' Poke" by Ben Cho in Vice is sweet & expresses the extra feels involved in home tattooing. I do not however recommend the materials nor method that they use espesh' all the drug use. Regardless, tattoo result is quite nice - and fine lettering is hard to do. I hope that future tattoos by Ben and Alexis can be done more safely.
