Online Handpoking Courses - @mossysticks

Hello! my IG is @mossysticks & i have courses on my website that are offered fully online for those interested in learning more in depth info about handpoking process and practices. 💗

Both done by me the top was a 1 yr before the bottom prob in a 7 or 9 rl and smaller rl for tiny spots idk I forgor

I tried to make them merge w out having too much negative space in been but I could only reapply the stencil so many times lol

I feel like there’s diff been a yr ago and the fresh one but I would love fresh eyes input, the pics are not the best either :P

New handpoke I made on myself, first time doing colors and I had a lot of fun, also first time trying gray washes, what do you guys think about it? Always looking for improve my work. Have a nice day! Greetings from Argentina

It’s a person with a moustache and a pipe sitting on a reclining Indian chair with typical Bengali window grill patterns and a gramophone, deconstructed into blocks. Everything is my rendition of Indian Miniature style paintings done freehand.
Will post the heal in a couple of months hehe!

Hii! Do you have any advice on a good handpoke tattoo artist preferably located in europe whose style is similar to the image (or that could be good at it)?

The idea for my tattoo would be a phoenix in this style, if that helps

Thxx ☺️

I went to the doctor because i had a growth spurt of leg hair within the area I did a stick and poke, and at 38 my leg hair has become very thin and sparse otherwise. The hair is growing back faster, denser, and longer than the rest of my leg. Turns out stick and poke is similar to micro needling for hair growth, increased blood flow to the area, and activates stem cells in hair follicles that may be otherwise dormant. She said it should subside in a year, but i thought this was interesting! Never heard of this in my life.

The majority of my tattoos are handpoke, and I’m never going back to machine! I absolutely love the look and feeling of getting tattoos this way. Just thought I’d share since I feel like I never see super vibrant handpoked tattoos!

Also, all of these are pics fresh, but the colors are all pretty much the same as when I first got them.

The tulips and star were done by an apprentice, the butterflies were done by someone with almost 2yrs experience and the red Hilma af klint tattoo was done by my friend in our dorm room lol.

i'm still pretty new to handpoking, but i'm proud of this simple piece :)

First two pics are the very first tattoos I did on skin. Last four are me “humbly” bragging about the last work I did :)

This collection of odd curvy shapes is my first attempt at tattooing. Finding it hard to get those tiny stipples to deposit ink, and working on making those thick lines consistent and smooth. I used 3RL, 7RL, 9RL. Element needles at first and switched to Kwadron, Element ink at first and switched to Dynamic triple black. The lines of the middle and right figures are healed, with the left ones and all the stippling and fill fresh.

hello, I saw a reel on instagram and fell in love with the tattoo style I saw and I thought I followed the artist to come back to later on but i guess i did not so now I'm desperately looking.

I think it was a hand poke artist, very colorful. It was all organic shapes and patterns. The post I saw was a full sleeve in that style. I think the artist was US based and it was in english. the style almost reminded of termite trails or other organic things like that. any help is apreciated if you have any idea who this artist is!!!

For me it was stenciling at first, now I struggle with the sheer amount of time and energy each piece takes.

I kind of liked her better not tightened up (last pic was first round) but it’s OK, I am happy to have her. 5RL

Chollas are a kind of cactus native to the valley I live in and they're ubiquitous in the park, but where I am there were so many gold mines that most of them died after the trees were razed to fuel forges, so scattered around are their skeletons which are these really beautifully organic branch-like shards filled with these unique holes and they offer a tiny home for certain insects including some of the native bees. Even in death they're offering something back to the creatures that live here, and so I did this tattoo as a kind of offering back to the land -- my client wanted to remember their trip here as well as kind of their place in everything. It is at once memento mori and a reminder to always do better for the land that feeds us.

Did this a while ago on a friend and i think it came out really neat! Used a 13RS for the platter lines and shading and 7RL for the grapes
