Hand Poked Tattoos
Fine line tattoos in a private studio nestled in East London.
Why me & why hand poked?
Hiya! My name is Charlotte and I am an Irish gal who has been living in London for 5 years now. I live here with my Fiancé, Keith and our super cute poodle called Moon.
With seven years of tattooing experience, I specialise in hand poked tattoos, a technique that provides a unique, intimate, and relaxed atmosphere. Using a fine, single-use needle, I create each design dot by dot, resulting in soft, delicate lines. My specific style and meticulous technique ensure every piece is crafted with precision and care, offering a truly personal and beautiful tattoo experience in my private studio.
I enjoy providing my clients with a safe and welcoming space for their tattoos. I understand that traditional tattoo shops can be intimidating, so I offer a private, one-on-one experience to ensure you feel comfortable and at ease. You are always welcome to bring someone along for support.
Testimonials by my lovely clients
If you want a beautifully done, thoughtfully created and brilliantly designed tattoo, go to Sticks not Stones. Charlotte provides a safe, hygienic space and creates a wonderfully calm environment in which to relax and be tattooed. She provides plenty of printed options and is so patient while you deliberate over positioning and size too.
The tattoos are virtually painless and they look absolutely fantastic when finished. I've now had 3 designs by Charlotte and they are by far the best tattoos I have ever had. My only regret is that I didn't have every one of my tattoos done by her.
Take it from me and look no further, this woman is the best ♡ x

I had such a wonderful experience being tattooed by Charlotte! Was my first time being tattooed so was a little nervous but was completely put at ease. The studio is really lovely and very inviting. The tattoos are amazing and exactly what I wanted, Charlotte was very open to making small changes if needed and to see different placements to make sure I was 100% happy. Would definitely come back!

This was my first time getting a tattoo, and with darker skin it was hard to find reference images with my pigmentation, so I was quite nervous. Charlotte was incredibly patient both before and during my appointment, answering all my questions, walking through the process of getting a tattoo in full and ensuring I was completely happy with my placement - no matter how long it took. If you are getting your first tattoo I cannot recommend her enough - I was so comfortable I ended up getting two! My tattoos have healed wonderfully and I’m continually asked if they are real because the line work is so clean and delicate. Also she is bloody lovely so that’s always a bonus.
