If you want to get a stick-and-poke tattoo, forget about the buzzing sound of the machine. When it comes to this technique, tattoo artists rely solely on their hands and needles.

Even though the majority of the designs will be simple, you can still get something with a bit more detail even if you opt for this technique. We’ve gathered some of the options that may spark your interest and inspire your next visit to the tattoo shop.
