Frequently Asked Questions

What is a traditional handpoke tattoo?

A traditional handpoke tattoo is created manually without using an electric tattoo machine. Every dot is placed by hand, allowing for exceptional precision and a unique handcrafted finish. At Dotlinetattu, we specialize in custom geometric tribal fusion tattoos using traditional handpoke techniques.

What is the difference between handpoke and machine tattooing?

Handpoke tattooing is performed entirely by hand, while machine tattooing uses an electric tattoo machine. Handpoke offers a slower, more controlled process that produces clean, intentional linework and a distinctive handcrafted aesthetic.

Do you create custom tattoo designs?

Yes. Every tattoo at Dotlinetattu is custom-designed specifically for each client. We do not copy existing tattoos. Every composition is created to complement your body flow, personal ideas, and individual story.

What tattoo styles do you specialize in?

Our main focus is Custom Geometric Tribal Fusion, created through traditional handpoke techniques. We also explore original tribal-inspired compositions and handcrafted geometric linework designed exclusively for each client.

What is the difference between handpoke tattoo and hand tapping?

Handpoke and hand tapping are both traditional tattooing techniques performed without an electric tattoo machine. Handpoke is created by manually placing each dot with a tattoo needle, while hand tapping uses a tattoo needle attached to a stick that is gently tapped with another stick. At Dotlinetattu, we use both techniques to create original handcrafted tattoos, choosing the method that best suits each custom design.

How much does a custom tattoo cost?

Pricing depends on the size, complexity, placement, and estimated session time. Once we receive your idea and reference images, we’ll provide a personalized quotation before confirming your booking.

Does getting a handpoke tattoo hurt?

Pain varies depending on the placement and individual tolerance. Many clients describe handpoke tattooing as a more gradual and manageable experience compared to machine tattooing, though everyone’s experience is different.

How long does a handpoke tattoo take?

The duration depends on the design’s complexity, size, and level of detail. Smaller tattoos may take a few hours, while larger custom geometric tribal fusion pieces can require multiple sessions.
