WHAT ARE POKING TATTOOS
This form of tattooing is not new and it is old method of making tattoos , as it's the oldest form of tattooing and is rarely seen now a day as tattoo machines replaced the oldest form and continues to be practiced today .
Mostly this form of Tattooing is practiced by ancient/ ritual / tribal traditions.
As it is made by hand it is called Hand poked tattoos. It is called Hand Poked Tattoos that way because it's made by hand and it involves using a pointed stick and some ink and then tapped repeatedly puncturing the skin and getting the ink into the skin dermis to create a desired patterns of the choice.
Does we have a difference between Hand poked and Normal tattoos?
The Hand Poked tattooing technique causes less damage to the skin and also it also gets heals quicker than modern tattooing. The reason behind this damage is that as the amount of needles used now is much more. Most of the times the hand poked tattoos leaves less crust and requires somewhat less aftercare compared to modern machine tattoos.
In Machine Tattoos there is also a big difference in frequency of times the ink is inserted into the skin. As the modern machine can pierce skin up to 3000 times per minute. As there's no way a human hand can even compare to that. But Still, it does not means the tattoo will look worse or better if made by hand - that totally depends on the artist's skill - it's just goes to show why you'll have less aftercare to do after a hand poke tattoo.
Doing the Hand Poked tattoo is very similar to modern Tattooing. You just have to know how to tattoo, use safe and clean tools and be skilled at putting the ink inside the skin. This form of Tattooing has its other advantage in at and also gives modern Tattoo Artist a Upper Hand.
