First hand poked tattoo!

[UKMisfit3]

Well, i'd been curious about hand poked tattoos, but wanted this tiny one so went for a walk in & it just so happened that's how he did it

2 days in & I keep forgetting it's there!

Done by Mike Love @ Black Market Tattoos in Leicester, great dude

Very nice work there. I also have a couple of hand pokes, and planning to get some more. I quite like the relaxed and quiet vibe vs. machine tattooing, and being able to feel and appreciate every single dot that makes up the design. 

I also feel like they heal faster, but I haven't had a black linework only tattoo done by machine for ages, so it's probably not a fair comparison.

thats a great hand poke right there! very clean, he must work with a methodical cadence.

Whoa. That is precise. Great work. 

Besides the quiet, any differences in the experience?

I was wondering the same.  "Looks" like quite a different experience when I've seen it done on a video.

Great piece tbw.
