The technique of hand-poked tattoo goes back more than 5500 years, before the electric machine was created, and it is done by carrying a small amount of ink under the skin with a hand-held tattoo needle. This art form was often used as a religious practice, or to affirm tribal affiliation or rite of passage.
Modern tattooing is often stripped of its spiritual and cultural qualities, leaving only the art upon the skin.
I feel deeply inspired by this ancient craft and although my practice lives in modern times, my relationship to tattoo is intimately rooted in reverence to its origins and spirit.
My work is intuitive, all designs are original creations, guided by your intention. This is a collaboration where you bring forward your story, and I translate that into a visual emblem, marking of time, an expression of personal journey. If this work resonates with you, please get in touch.
