Gali Pokes

Yes — I am always happy to bring your idea to life if that works in my style. All work is done in my signature hand poke style.

Yes — people find it gentler and easier to sit through than a machine, but everyone’s experience is unique.

Yes — with proper aftercare, they last just as long as machine tattoos (your whole life and even a bit longer)

Yes — I’ve worked in over 30 tattoo shops worldwide. You can join the waitlist for your city through my booking form.

Healing is similar to a machine tattoo but usually a bit quicker. I’ll normally cover it with second skin, which you’ll keep on for 3–4 days. After removing, wash gently with unscented soap, pat dry, and apply a thin layer of lotion or ointment ( I provide a list of recommended brands). Avoid soaking, swimming, or direct sun for at least 3 weeks. Don’t scratch or pick — let it peel naturally.

No — my style is efficient because of the technique I’ve developed. In most cases, sessions take about the same time as machine tattoos, sometimes even less. You still get the same bold, lasting result without the extra hours in the chair.

I work out of Outer Limits Tattoo in Long Beach, Ca — the oldest operating tattoo shop and museum. Come not just for a great tattoo but for the whole experience!
