Stick and Poke Tools

Killer Ink Tattoo stocks various stick and poke tattoo tools for professional artists that are perfect for creating hand poke tattoos.

To create stick and poke tattoos, take a standard tattoo needle and cut off the needle bar loop, leaving about 4 cm of the bar, before inserting it into the stick and poke tool.

Available in aluminium or brass, our stick and poke tattoo tools come with a standard 10 mm diameter tip or a larger fixed tip with a 20 mm diameter.

Professional tattoo needles are the best type to use as stick and poke needles as they are high-quality, safe to use, and offer unmatched control. The correct stick and poke needles to use comes down to preference, but if in doubt, a good place to start when creating hand poke tattoos is with a 3 or 5 round liner.

When it comes to the best stick and poke ink to use, we recommend tattoo ink from Silverback Ink®. In particular, Silverback Ink® Stupid Black is ideal for stick and poke tattoos due to how its consistency sticks to the hand poke needles.

If you’re looking to put together a stick and poke tattoo kit, you’ll need the following supplies: a stick and poke tool, a tattoo needle and a disposable tip. The disposable tip is not needed as part of a stick and poke kit if you’re using a hand poke tool with a fixed tip. We offer bundles that will make it easier for you to select a stick and poke tattoo kit that is right for your tattooing style and preferences!
