Stick and Pokes is a form of tattooing, different to tattoos made with gun. They are also called hand poke tattoo, because the artist holds one single needle that they put into the skin, dot by dot.

Stick and Poke / Hand Poke Tattoos are different to tattoos made with tattoo gun. Instead of a machine injecting the ink, the artist holds one single needle that they put into the skin, dot by dot.
