They create beautiful and intricate designs for their clients, all without needing electricity. Take a look at 16 of the finest hand-poke tattoo artists from around the world in the gallery below, then let us know your thoughts on the machine free movement in the comments section.

It’s hard to be you, to get out of your shell, its hard to be you to show your true self. It’s hard to be there, to open up in front them. It’s hard to be there, to not hide, to not be how they want us to be. It’s hard to close up, its even more hard to hide, your feelings stuck from deep inside. It’s hard to not be who you truly are, its hard to not scream from deep within, to break out, to break free. Its hard to be me. • Thanks for your trust and the beautiful time spend together ♡ • NO MACHINE.
