HANDPOKE MENTORSHIP
Handpoking is more than just ink on skin… it’s ritualistic storytelling, created from a compassionate connection between the artist and the client.
There’s a lot more to this form of tattooing than just the aesthetic, and a reason why it’s a sacred ancient craft.
This learning space is a deep dive into both the technical skills and spiritual aspects of tattooing, helping you find your unique artistic voice and create artwork - and a business- that resonates with meaning and authenticity, expressing your individual spirit.

8 week Handpoke Mentorship Course
In this intimate, live interactive course, you’ll explore the art of handpoke tattooing in a supportive, small-group setting. After the course ends, you will still be part of this supportive creative container.
Alongside the course, there will be activities to open up and uncover your creative voice, downloadable PDFs, and lifetime access to our closed ‘Handpoke Community’ group- where after the course is complete, you can continue to learn, connect with each other and build your art career together, in a collective supportive environment.
A handpoked ‘Skin Story’ is a tattoo journey which weaves the client’s personal story into wearable art. It’s an invitation to dig deeper and express outwards. To cocreate a design with symbolism and intention. To enlighten, empower, and express what’s already all within. Because tattoos can be an act of self love, and express all our inner magic.
…I love working in this creative way, and sharing my past decade of learnings (and lovings!) with a small group -or individual- mentorship.
…What’s so special about this particular course?
This course will be unique and adapted as we will be the only Live and interactive 1:1 handpoke course, with direct Q&A sessions and a supportive community group which will run throughout. The group size will be kept small (4-6 people).
In the future, courses will be pre-recorded and run in a different structure.

“I came in searching for more confidence in my tattoo practice, more knowledge and skills in art tattoo and ritualisation & finding my style. Knowledge and skills have really deepened and it allowed me to find that confidence inwas searching for. In designs, tattooing skills in my knowledge in my art. I found better than my style, i established a free fun explorative and sacred way to relate to my art. It met everything and offered way much more.”
