Handpoked dotwork

[Rosco5]

Just out of curiosity, is it actually possible? If so, does anyone actually do it?

Hand poking is all dots is this a trick question or am I being ditsy?

Lots of artists incl Xed LeHead use the method, tho only a few do it this way exclusively-it takes a lot longer but I think the results are better. my colleague had a beautiful one put on her hand-took forever but its perfect.

Ha! I think I am to be honest.

It was genuinely a stupid question, but better to ask a stupid question and get it out of the way I find.

I can honestly see why it would be the perfect method for dotwork, just wanted clarification.

Well when I had mine it was definitely loads and loads of hand poked dots tools ages but was an awesome experience and one I would recommend!

I'm desperate to try handpoked, and I think dotwork would be the perfect experiment for it.

Do it, you won't regret it, I had a coloured hand of fatma and I have been chuffed with the end result

Actually, while I'm at it, anyone know of any handpoke dotwork artists in Scotland?

I've contacted the guys at Yankee Tattoo in Dundee and looked into Ema Sweeney at Custom Inc, just wondering if anyone can give me any more suggestions.
