Question 1

What is a bamboo tattoo?

Accepted Answer

A bamboo tattoo is a traditional, hand-poked method using a bamboo stick and needle — no machines, no buzzing. Each dot of ink is placed by hand, allowing for calm, precise tattooing.

Question 2

Is bamboo tattoo better than machine tattoo?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your preference. Bamboo tattoo is quieter, gentler on the skin, and heals faster for many clients. Machine tattoos are faster for shading and large fill areas.

Question 3

How long does a bamboo tattoo take?

Accepted Answer

Smaller designs can take as little as 30 minutes. Larger or more detailed pieces are done in sessions — just like with machine tattoos.
