ASTRID is a classically trained multimedia artist that works with hand poke. When it comes to tattoos ASTRID specializes in semi-realism, blackwork, and dotwork. Instead of using a machine to create more of a fast, get in get out experience, she uses a single needle (or cluster of needles) to create dotwork effects that directly translate from the initial drawing or reference to the final tattoo.

While the hand poke method may be slower, it is extremely rich in its history and culture. She believes that handpoke is a more spiritual and experiential form of tattooing due to its older roots.

ASTRID is the perfect match for you if you are looking for a non-traditional, unique and ethereal tattoo.
