The Art of Handpoke Tattoo

Day One -

Day One centers on connection + inner listening. We explore The Art of Ceremony through art, astrology, somatics, voice + sound using a range of instruments. This day is about sensing + feeling, translating what arises into symbolic form, allowing a personal symbol to take shape.

Day Two -

Day Two moves into the lineage + practice of The Art of Handpoke Tattoo. We journey through the history of handpoke, the tools of the trade + the fundamentals of the practice. I’ll offer a live demonstration, followed by guided practice, with the option to work on self or on practice skin.
