Handpoke tattooing is a great non-intimidating introduction to tattooing.
Years ago when I got started, handpoke tattoos existed in a tiny sub-culture of DIY tattooers who were tired of the gatekeeping, hyper-masculine, tattoo industry. But now handpoke tattooing is a rapidly growing niche, gaining its well-deserved respect in the industry. I always say… the riches are in the niches! Being a handpoke tattoo artist set me apart from the rest of the industry and provided me with a steady flow of clientele for years.
Together we can get you there!
Not only is handpoke great for beginners because of its low-cost entry point (no machines or accessories) but it's also a great way to understand the fundamentals of tattooing. Handpoke’s slow nature forces you to take your time learning to fully understand how to properly put ink to skin. Ultimately making you a better tattoo artist.
My mentorship programs offer a hands-on learning experience to excel in your career as a tattoo artist. You will get one-on-one coaching, so you don't need to waste time spending hours researching hygiene, how to tattoo, materials, stenciling, placement, setup, licensing, business management, and marketing….
…and OMG SO MUCH MORE!
But thanks to me, you will have everything at your fingertips. I am self-taught. I’ve owned my studio and been tattooing for the last 8 years. I’ve made all the mistakes so you don’t have to! I will teach you how to become a wholehearted tattoo artist who leads with spirit, integrity, and love for creating a one-of-a-kind client experience. Let me share my knowledge with you and give you all the tools and education I wished I had when I got started.
It doesn't matter if you are an artist looking to start a new lucrative career or a seasoned PMU artist looking to expand your portfolio. I’m here to guide you and give you all the tools you need to take off!

“I am so thankful for the opportunity to work with Taylor as my mentor. I was immediately impressed by her willingness to partner in creating a program tailored to my exact goals and at just the right pace. I was nervous about starting tattooing, but getting to do my first pieces under Taylor's guidance gave me the confidence to continue on and get better in each session. She is so talented and knowledgeable that every session was completely filled with discussion, learning, and feedback. She wants her students to be excellent artists, and her dedication to the mentorship program brought that to life for me.”
Why handpoke tattoo?

Great for Beginners
Starting something new can be intimidating. It can be expensive, scary, and risky, but this is why handpoke is great for beginners.
Less expensive than machine tattooing, handpoke is accessible and cost-effective!
It’s slow nature allows beginners to ease into tattooing and understand how it works. Dot by dot, you will gain confidence and grow your skills.
Handpoke tattoos are less abrasive and more forgiving. This causes less damage to the skin than you might cause with a machine.
Easy to learn, handpoke tattooing is the simplest form of tattooing but allows for a wide variety of styles and creations.
Let's see what you can do with it!

Magical Method
Although today it’s not the most celebrated method of tattooing, handpoke is certainly the OG…
No machine, just our hands. Pretty badass, am I right?
Handpoke should be celebrated to the highest caliber of tattooing. It requires a hell of a lot of precision, patience, and talent to do well.
Clients come for the aesthetic and unique style of handpoke tattoos. But they stay for the overall pleasant, quiet, and calm experience. It’s honestly so meditative.
Getting a handpoke tattoo is a memorable experience. You feel it in your whole body. It creates a bond and connection between client and artist that lasts a lifetime.
That’s the real magic!

HI, I’M TAYLOR ELYSE!
I love tattooing and I can’t wait to share it with you!
I currently live in Joshua Tree CA, where 8 years ago I opened my studio Love Always Tattoo. I am a self-taught handpoke tattoo artist. Getting started was really hard for me, which is why I wrote The Ultimate Guide to Handpoke Tattooing and mentorship programs! I wanted to create something I wished I had when I got my start. It can be intimidating to start something new. Hopefully, I can help you feel confident and help you jumpstart your career as an amazing tattoo artist!
Love Always,
Taylor
