Sacred Pokes offers a collaborative ceremony experience where alternative medicine meets body art. Piercing & tattooing are boiled down into their original forms of Imprinting, personal to the receiver.

It is our belief that the intimate Craft of imprinting has an incredibly impressionable impact upon the body, heart, & mind. Manual - or by hand - body art offers an organic & precise approach. In return, inflicting half the trauma to the skin that a machine would apply. This allows the piece to heal over, integrating into the surface of the body, in a significantly shorter time frame. Provided safely by healing hands, handpoke imprinting offers an additional sense of comfort & safety. Thus, eliminating the presence of jarring vibrations, emitting from a mechanical method. Physical touch is a way in which many feel comforted, but is sometimes exploited in this day & age. Through conscious consent & compassionate care, the Hand delivers a reassuring & affirming balance point of support.
We consider not only the physical aspect of applying body art - but biopsychosocial & spiritual influences. With the means to make our body temple feel personalized & beautiful, mindful Imprinting allows us to willingly put ourselves in a position where we choose to embrace pain.

We consider not only the physical aspect of applying body art - but biopsychosocial & spiritual influences. With the means to make our body temple feel personalized & beautiful, mindful Imprinting allows us to willingly put ourselves in a position where we choose to embrace pain. From this process, there is not only a literal physical Imprint, but a residual emotional & energetic one left from the given experience. This multidimensional milestone is a neurological reframing, just as much as it is an aesthetic expression. Chemicals released in the brain like endorphins & adrenaline cause a natural shift of consciousness within a session. As a positive consequence, this then becomes associated with the act of vulnerability, when trusting the artist. Mindful Imprinting is especially healing for survivors of abuse, mental affliction, & trauma, made manifest as a permanently empowering adornment.

We work together - patient to practitioner - to deliver your personal imprint experience. Imprint Art is a two-way street, an exciting collaboration! We aim to create the most potent sense of affirmation & openness from the inception of a session, allowing art-bearers to ease into introspection. Ensuring that the experience of receiving permanent medicine is pure, allows for us to explore ourselves internally; an opportunity to make space within. Imprinting as a holistic practice enables us to seamlessly merge with the art, in which we choose to adorn ourselves with. Cultures of every continent have taught us this with their traditions, so we seek to build connections to body art lineages for folks of all backgrounds. Based on the idea that the body & perception operate in a divine trifecta with our spirit, Imprinting leads us to a gateway for greater frontiers of self expansion, communion & reverence. Are you ready to commit to yourself?
