Stick and Poke Tattoo Kit, Hand Poke Tattoo Stick Kit or Bamboo Style Tattoo Stick Kit as called in Thailand

                                            We have been in the hand poke business for about 15 years.

At first,  Hand Poke Sticks were sharpened Bamboo sticks  and they were used for thousands of years. But today, we use disposable metal needles. 

Stainless-steel sticks have gone through many designs. At first the rod or stick, whatever you want to call it, was sharpened at the tip. So, it could only do a single dot on one stroke in the skin just like the Bamboo stick. That’s why you would see the early days of Thai tattoos were done as dots in a line to make the tattoo design. To join the dots as they are today would take a long time with a single dot. As shown above.

The next advance was to cut the end of the Bamboo style stainless steel sticks and make two prongs. This would double the amount of ink put into the skin.

Below is an example of that. These are old and classic sticks. I have not had a tattoo done with this double prong stick but I am sure this would have hurt.
