 Hand poked tattooing, the non-electric method that's done freestyle with needle and ink, is having a major moment – ironic given that it's an ancient art form. While the technique has courted controversy for being hard to regulate, it can look distinctively stunning when executed by a pro. Call it a backlash against the mainstream or body art returning to its roots, there's no denying its demand.  Hand poke tattoos are very distinctive in their look, different styles can be achieved with the technique but there is no mistaking a hand poked tattoo against a machine tattoo.
