About Victoria
Hi everyone! I’m Victoria - a machine-free/hand poke tattoo artist specializing in making you feel more like yourself. I am a cat mom, queer lady, and I absolutely love tattooing large scale botanical, ornamental, and blackwork designs. Anything to push the boundaries of what is thought possible when it comes to tattooing without a machine. I have always worked only by hand as I find the process to be incredibly intentional. Hand poke is much more dainty in the way it feels, and causes a lot less trauma to the skin. Therefore, my tattoos heal really fast which is always nice! I pride myself on creating a safe and peaceful environment in my private studio here in Seattle. But I always love to travel, so don't hesitate to reach out! Thank you for taking the time to read this. Feel free to ask any questions and I look forward to creating with you!

FAQ
- Does hand poke hurt more than machine tattoos?
- While many might fear this because it is not as common nowadays. Hand poke is actually much more gentle and less abrasive than machine tattoos. I always like to explain it like this... I am using the same needles, same ink, and going in at the exact same depth as machine tattoos. However, because I am doing it slower and dot by dot I can see exactly where the skin needs pigment and therefore I am not penetrating the skin as many times as a machine does. Because of this you hardly ever peel when healing, redness goes away almost immediately, and there is hardy ever any soreness the following day!
- Which parts of the body do you tattoo?
- I am open to tattooing almost anywhere on the body! Because of my technique this is really great for all skin types as well. If you are wondering if it can be tattooed, just reach out! While I tattoo almost every part of the body, there are certain skin conditions that I cannot and will not tattoo such as over extreme acne. If you are curious, again, just reach out!
- Will I see my design prior to day of?
- Short answer, no. I will always have your design ready day of your session if we are doing a custom tattoo design for you. I will make sure to ask plenty of questions prior to our time together to ensure I fully understand what it is that you are wanting. But I ask you to also trust your artist in that I will design something for you that we will both be proud to show off ;)
