About the event
Day One - April 11, 11-5pm

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.

Why I am devoted to sharing this offering
Ceremony has been a quiet anchor in my life. It has guided me through grief, transitions, motherhood, divorce, joy, healing + remembrance. Handpoke Tattoo entered my world as a ritual of listening. Each symbol carries breath, patience + devotion.
This practice has taught me how to be with myself more honestly. How to move slowly. How to trust what the body knows before the mind catches up. The beauty of ceremony is that it returns us to what is already within us. The beauty of Handpoke Tattoo is that it honors time, lineage, and intention with every single dot.
I am sharing this because I believe these practices deserve space. Space to be felt. Space to be learned with reverence. Space to be held in community.
