It is a machine-less tattoo. It is completed by the artist gently depositing ink into the skin one dot at a time. This is a less intrusive method of tattooing and has a unique, artsy vibe with fine-lines and a handmade touch.

Hand-poked tattoos are permanent and last just the same as a regular machine tattoo.

Pain is subjective but people are generally surprised by the minimal amount of pain that’s experienced throughout the process. Some people even fall asleep, and most people comment on how relaxing hand-poked tattoos are.

Mikaela started Luna La Poke back in March of 2019 and has been tattooing ever since.

The design process is usually done in Mikaela’s personal time outside of work.

We will generally send out custom designs the evening prior to your appointment. This allows extra time to make any major tweaks or changes.

However, this is not always guaranteed. In the rare case that you receive your design on the day, you will be given as much time as you need to be 100% on the design. This is your tattoo and we want to make sure you LOVE it!

If you require a support person for your appointment please let Mikaela know and she will try to accommodate them. Luna La Poke the studio is quite small, and so it can be difficult to fit extra guests.

Please do not bring guests without advance notice.

Absolutely! Mikaela loves working with clients to curate the perfect combinations of designs for your lil digits.

Mikaela offers one free touch-up to correct any lines that may have healed inconsistently.

Most tattoos heal without needing one, however, fine line work is more likely to require a touch-up than other tattoo styles. This is due to the fact that less ink has been deposited into the skin

The touch-up must be requested within 3 months of completing the tattoo, otherwise there’ll be a fee.

No, sorry. Mikaela does not work with coverups.

Absolutely! Mikaela offers 30 minute consultations either in-person or over the phone. We think it’s important to have the opportunity to get to know your artist and their space before committing to a tattoo.
