What is the difference between Handpoke and Handtapping tattoos?
Both are traditional, machine-free tattoo methods. Handtapping is an ancient Indonesian technique using a stick and a mallet to rhythmically tap the ink into the skin. Handpoke uses a single needle operated manually by the artist's hand for extreme precision. Both offer a deeply cultural and less traumatic healing experience, available right here at our Bali studio.

Do you create custom tattoo designs?
Yes! Silver Jerry specializes in custom designs that blend traditional Indonesian woven ornaments and interior carvings with your personal vision. We recommend booking a consultation so we can draw a personalized concept that fits your body anatomy perfectly.

Do Handpoke and Handtapping tattoos hurt more than machine tattoos?
