About 434 TATTOO
Expert Hand Poke Tattoos in Hawaiʻi Kai – Clean, Calm, and Completely Custom
Looking for a tattoo that’s personal, minimalist, and done with traditional technique? At 434 Tattoo, we specialize in professional hand poke tattoos, offering a quiet, needle-free machine experience for clients in Hawaiʻi Kai. Hand poke (also called stick and poke) is an ancient tattooing method that uses a single needle to manually deposit ink into the skin — slower, gentler, and ideal for meaningful pieces done with intention.
Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned tattoo collector looking for something different, our hand poke tattoos offer clean lines, subtle depth, and a meditative application process. Our studio near Waikīkī welcomes walk-ins and appointments alike, serving clients from across Hawaiʻi Kai who appreciate mindful body art done right.

How It Works
Consultation and Design
We’ll talk with you about your idea — the size, placement, and meaning. Whether it’s a simple word, symbol, or something abstract, we’ll shape it together into a clear plan.
Stencil and Prep
We apply a stencil and prepare your skin just like a machine tattoo. All tools are single-use and sterilized to meet the highest safety standards.
Hand Poke Tattooing
Your artist begins the slow, steady process of hand poking ink into the skin, dot by dot. This method is precise and less invasive, with many clients describing it as more tolerable than machine work.
Aftercare
We walk you through how to care for your hand poke tattoo to ensure a smooth healing process and lasting results. You’ll leave with clear instructions and support if you have questions.
What Services We Do Provide
Our Hand Poke Tattoo Services in Hawaiʻi Kai
Custom Hand Poke Tattoos
Every hand poke tattoo at 434 Tattoo is crafted by hand, one dot at a time. We create designs ranging from minimal line art and symbols to more intricate compositions, all tailored to your style. Whether you have a concept in mind or need help developing one, we work closely with you to create something original and personal.
Fine Line and Micro Tattoos
The precision of hand poke makes it perfect for small-scale, detailed designs. Our artists specialize in fine line work — small flowers, script, celestial patterns, geometric symbols — all created with balance, clarity, and care. This method offers less skin trauma and is great for clients who prefer a slower pace.
Calm, Low-Vibration Tattoo Experience
Without the buzz of a machine, hand poke tattoos offer a quieter, more relaxed environment. Many clients find the experience peaceful and therapeutic. The process takes a bit longer but results in clean, natural-looking tattoos with a unique feel and character.
