      some are and some arent. you have to have way more skill to use a fast moving vibrating machine. and to keep it at the right depth. with stick and poke you can only go so deep unless your driving the needle in. the problem is you have to explain to everyone that it is a poke tattoo, if you dont they will just seen bad shading and line work. but like he said himself compared to the pros he isnt that good.

      @Dre9six 5 лет назад +19

      I haven't seen as much hate towards the entirety of hand poked tattoos as I have to some of the unsanitary practices some of the "pros" work with. I can see why a studio artist would be hating on someone tattooing out of their bedroom because it's generally a lot riskier but I also think that some of the hate could stem from tattooers who busted their ass in an apprenticeship seeing people they would basically deem as scratchers getting a lot of the clients and props they feel entitled to. Honestly tho it's all about being sanitary, people can get whatever tattoos they like as long as they're being safe! Except for that intentionally sketchy shit you see nowadays, I seriously don't understand that

    • @beabunny.
      @beabunny. 5 лет назад +9

      I agree at the end of the day it's about being smart and sanitary no matter how you get your tattoo. I have seen negative reactions from actual tattoo artists about hand poke in general, and obviously the unsanitary and unprofessional aspect of it is bad and shouldn't be encouraged. And it is frowned upon by all including professional hand poke tattooers just how the same goes for any one who buys a tattoo machine and does it at home.

      Hes taking an old technique to do a modern font (sign writing paint style) piece, and it looks like garbage, on top of that the camera and people around him most likely made him feel like he had to keep talking, which (in my opinion) made him sound pompous. Doesn't matter if this is its origin, quality above quantity ALL DAY LONG.

      @bqualitysnake6549 4 года назад +54

      @@neotyppe4469 depends a lot on the skill of the artist, type of ink and how precisely they can poke at the same level, if some lines go deep and others are further up they'll look uneven, just like with machines. In some cases they'll look sharp for much longer than a professional machine tattoo, while other times they look rough much quicker. They stay forever, but just like with machine tattoos a bad one can look more like a blob than what it was before in 10 or 30 years depending on a lot of factors. If one wants to do one on themselves with no experience, they have to expect it to blur and fade quite quickly, at least the first few tattoos they do. Still, I'm probably going to do a few on myself if I still want to years down the line, with the right needles, sterilization and ink ofc. For me there's just sometihng more personal with doing a few myself, even if the results won't look as good as people who have practiced for years.

    Hand poked is what started it all in New Zealand with the Maori when white settlers came and saw the intricate body art on the people. Eventually they wanted ink too and boom years later here we are with machines and a variety of different styles.

    I've seen this ancient way of tattoo in Japan. There are documentaries about it.
    It's a ritualistic thing which focuses on both pain and art as a test.
    The Yakuza are very fond of it to challenge themselves but the grandpa that does it creates masterpieces.
    The famous traditional Japanese full body canvas, but imagine it being done exclusively hand made.
    I see the trend is coming towards America and Europe, I don't know why or the mindset behind it there though.

    This is how tattoos originated, tattoos came from Samoa and came from our word "Tatau", but in Samoa it is done on a way larger scale when people get Pea's which takes up half of your body.
