Hello! My name is Anastasia, but many people know me by my creative nickname as Honeypoke. Well, I'll start by saying that I've been drawing for as long as I can remember, but when Anton decided to get tattooed and suggested that I try it, to be honest, I was not enthusiastic about this idea. But I decided to try anyway.
Since Anton initially tattooed with a tattoo gun, I started with that too. First, I filled him with a couple of trash tattoos.
Then I tried two more times on different guys.
In general, I did not like it at all. The tattoo gun turned out to be a soulless, noisy and heavy thing for me. I quit.
Then, by a lucky chance, I learned about the handpoke technique. I didn't find my style right away. I started with simple line tattoos. It was 2017.
And in May 2018 in Moscow, I tattooed girl and she asked me to add shadows to the tattoo of cotton. Since then I have understood what I want to strive for.
Currently, I prefer shadow technique. I like to infuse life into my work.
I like to work with transitions and shading. Of course, I also work with lines, for example, lettering. I also started to make tattoos with color agent, which of course is even more exciting.
Everything that I know and can do, I have achieved only thanks to myself. With desire and perseverance. And of course, support from Anton when I didn’t want to continue, when I encountered misunderstandings, when I made mistakes and simply when I didn’t have the strength. I think I have gained enough experience that I can and want to share with you! All you have to do is believe in yourself and start creating and sharing your creativity with the world.
