tina Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I plan to get a tattoo for the first time. I plan to get a tattoo on my arm. Should I choose a machine tattoo or a hand poke tattoo?

Hogrider Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Given that the vast majority of artists use machines, I can’t think of a reason to limit yourself to the small number of artists that use the hand-poke method, unless you know an artist that uses that method and you like their work.

Simong Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) It’s your decision but unless you specifically wanted a hand poke tattoo I would have thought going with the machine method would be easier and give you a lot more choice with artists.

Expand I haven’t either, I have also heard that. I know they do take a lot longer. Unless someone really wanted to get the experience I’m guessing most people would prefer a machine tattoo for comfort and the speed.

TristanPaulin Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 It is difficult to tattoo the hand; the machine's motion causes excruciating discomfort.

Expand This doesn't result from the machine - it's the sensitive nerves in your hands. Feet, too. oboogie and Simong 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12114-how-to-choose-between-the-two/#findComment-157370 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It also has nothing to do with the OP’s question. It was about hand poke tattoos, tattoos on your hand.
