60 Trending Stick-and-Poke Tattoo Ideas for 2022

It's fair to say that stick and poke tattoos tend to be infamous for their association with prison tattoos and amateur DIY tattoos. However, stick and poke tattoos are so much more. They are prized for their casual, casual yet also frilly and unique designs when done by a professional tattoo artist, as they should be.

Stick-and-poke tattoos are known for their simple, minimal and clear designs. There are some designs done with more intricacy, but generally due to the machineless tattoo technique, it can be quite difficult to go into the smallest details with these tattoos.

If you are looking for inspiration for a new tattoo, you are in the right place. In the following paragraphs, we will share some of our favorite tattoo ideas and trends this year. So, without further ado, let's get started!

Stick-and-Poke design trends and inspiration

Floral hand tattoos

In the upcoming spring/summer season, we recommend you to get a wand and poke flower tattoo as the perfect accessory. These tattoos tend to be small, simple, and fairly minimalistic, but they look wonderful and delicate, conveying such visual meaning even outside of the flower seasons.

While floral patterns are more of a feminine choice, stick and poke leaf or rose patterns will also look great on guys. So don't hesitate and decorate yourself with some simple petals and leaves.

Handmade Butterfly Tattoo Ideas

Despite the fact that the butterfly is usually considered a feminine symbol, in fact it is considered a symbol applicable to every person. Butterfly means transformation, improvement, progress and personal evolution.

However, some people prefer the butterfly to have a more feminine look, so they focus on a delicate and sophisticated design with emphasis on the wings and various patterns. Others choose a simple, straight butterfly outline to focus on the meaning of this wonderful creature and what it represents. Either way, butterflies seem like an endless source of inspiration for various tattoo styles, including hand-drawn tattoos.

Arm Tattoo Ideas

Hands are one of the most peculiar parts of the human body. They can tell so much about a person; what kind of work they can have, whether they take care of themselves, whether they are nervous or calm and much, much more.

So the fact that people were obsessed with drawing, observing and hand spinning art is not that surprising. It's no surprise that most tattoo design ideas come down to the hands.

Therefore, we decided to include this design idea in the article. We believe that many people will find a deeper meaning in the following drawings: the way the hands are positioned and gesticulated can symbolize so much, and therefore each of the designs is unique and inimitable, although at first glance they all symbolize only hands.

Mountain Range Tattoo Ideas

Because of the hectic modern life, many people yearn for nature; especially those who live in big, noisy cities. One of the ways people find it helpful to reconnect with nature is to get a piece of it in the form of a tattoo. Mountain ranges are one of the most popular and significant symbols of nature.

Mountains throughout the ages have represented something sublime and transcending the physical realm of life. Not to mention the beauty of the mountains and wildlife.

So, to honor nature and our beautiful planet, you can get a simple mountain range tattoo. These tattoos look incredible on everyone and can be done in several unique ways. Mountain "stick and poke" tattoos also have a special artsy effect.

Fruit Tattoo Ideas

There is something joyful, cheerful and very positive about fruits. Like it or not, you can't deny the fact that the different shapes, colors, and seasons we associate fruits with put a smile on our faces.

Because of this, and also because we need more smiles and happy moments in these terrible times, we decided to include these wonderful and cute fruit inspired tattoos.

Of course, you can use any fruit you like; you don't even have to do the color tattoo by hand. The point is to get a simple but very effective tattoo that will cheer you up every time you look at it.

Moon Tattoo Ideas

An eternal companion of the Earth, always visible in the night sky, the Moon has a profound effect on our lives. This is an indicator of the larger picture of our life on a small planet in space and how everything in nature depends on or depends on something; in any case, they cannot exist without each other.

If that's not a great enough reason to get a simple but meaningful tattoo, then nothing. To get a moon tattoo is to show that you appreciate the absurdity of life and how amazing it is to be able to see a different object in space every night.

Maybe we're getting into this too much, but a moon tattoo, if nothing else, looks good on everyone.

Art Inspired Tattoo Ideas

Life imitates art, as we all know. So when nothing can serve as a design inspiration, it's best to turn to some well-known works of art for ideas. Sometimes people go for direct copying of famous works of art, while others either take pieces of a painting or draw inspiration from a painting style. Either way, you can't go wrong with art as your inspiration.

Some of the most famous works of art that people use for inspiration come from the Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and Surrealist eras. So, you will see a lot of tattoos inspired by the work of Van Gogh, Claude Monet or Salvador Dali. If you have a favorite artist, study their work and find inspiration in their vision and paintings.

Line Tattoo Ideas

The linework tattoo style is always an effective and visually appealing design choice. It may not carry a deeper meaning, but it seems that the lines on the body always create their own world. Fine thin lines usually emphasize the curves and lines of the human body, creating a piece of abstract art without over-the-top illustrations and designs.

The beauty of this design idea lies in its simplicity. The ability to create something beautiful from a few lines never ceases to amaze. Even though linework tattoos are sort of a mainstream tattoo style, they have a particularly unique look when done in a stick and poke style.

Tattoo ideas with hand-drawn quotes and phrases

Getting a tattoo with an inspirational quote or motivational phrase is a great way to stay on track. Most of us need some kind of motivation to get on with our lives, so what could be better than getting a tattoo that you will see every day for the rest of your life.

Sometimes quotes and phrases don't have to be serious; they can be funny and witty and just make you laugh or smile when you need it most. Quote and phrase tattoos with sticks and phrases are especially attractive because they look natural, like a scribble or something you would write or draw in a magazine.

Since everyone needs motivation and inspiration to keep going, especially in these tough times, we decided to include these design guidelines as well.

Unique hand tattoos

If none of the above design ideas fit your desires for a new tattoo or inspire you to create one, then you might find your inspiration right here. We have compiled some of the most unique tattoo designs that we think people might love and inspire.

These designs are one of a kind and tend to have a more personalized meaning rather than a generic interpretation that applies to everyone. The design is done professionally, but the "stick and poke" style is always visible. This is why tattoos seem very artsy, alternative, and generally unique.

Final thoughts

We hope you enjoy our top pick of the best tattoo designs this year. The overall idea behind these projects seems to revolve around people reconnecting with nature, the things around them, and other people. First of all, we believe that these tattoos serve the purpose of reconnecting with oneself.

During this terrible pandemic, which unfortunately is still going on, many have lost their sense of self, and one way to get that feeling back is to do something that will forever remain a unique experience for you.

So, whatever the reason you're getting a tattoo, make sure the design speaks to you and shows who you are and what you do. These designs are for inspiration only, so to make them your own, use your imagination and always choose a professional tattoo artist for the best tattoo design and execution.
