Sunnie - Artist Interview

We had the pleasure of talking to Sunnie, an incredible hand poke artist based in Worcester. We're always amazed by the detail and quality of her designs, so we had to interview her for our blog.

 

Who are you and where are you based?

My name is Sunnie, I grew up in the Cotswolds, lived in Cheltenham for 10 years but have settled in Worcestershire for the last 2 years. I am a resident artist at the well established Lock & Key Tattoo in Worcester City Centre.

 

How long have you been a tattoo artist for and how did you learn?

I have been a working tattoo artist for less than a year. It has been something I have always wanted since leaving college 14 years ago. I finally felt confident enough to take a chance on myself and bought a Single Needle tattoo kit and started tattooing from then on. I have always kept up drawing throughout my twenties but didn’t have much of a direction until I started to teach myself the art of hand poke. It has given me the creative outlet that I’d always yearned for as art has always been such a huge piece of me. I feel like it was always what I was supposed to be doing.

 

 

Did you start hand poking after using a machine, or has the hand poked method always been your preference?

Hand poke has always been my preferred method. I read a lot on Tebori tattooing, looking through old photographs of Tebori artists in Japan gave me so much inspiration, so I started out tattooing straight onto my legs. I didn’t use fake skin as I’m a fairly impulsive person. Practicing on myself gave me the best insight on how to use the needle and how far to poke in. I used different types and sizes, experimenting with different effects. I soon learnt the basics and felt I was gaining more control with the needle and it reflected in the outcome.

 

What is it you love most about stick and poke tattoos?

I love the organic process, the precision, how simple it is. I love drawing with just pencil and paper and tattooing skin with a singular needle dipped in ink stimulates this. It seems to be more natural. Instinctive. 

 

 

Tell us about your favourite hand poked story.

I’m not sure if I have a favourite story yet, but it always amuses me when customers come in for their appointments and when I ask whether they’ve had a hand poke tattoo before, they have no idea what I’m talking about. They just assume I tattoo with a machine. I try to make it clear in my social media that I am exclusively a hand poke artist, but now make a point to tell customers and explain the process in depth in our consultations. 

 

What advice would you give someone starting out as a stick and poke artist?

The advice I’d give to someone who wants to start hand poking is to just start, maybe invest in some fake skin but don’t be afraid to tattoo yourself. This is by far the best learning tool. Know that everyone’s skin is different, experimenting with different needles to find what works best for different techniques and styles. Draw lots. Reach out to other artists. And make sure you practice safe tattooing by learning about hygiene. 

 

Lastly, where can people contact you?

Anyone can contact me through my Instagram @laburnumtattoo or through the studio’s Instagram @lockandkeytattoo.

    I’m the happiest man on earth today. SPIRITUAL UYI has made me believe that it is good to keep trying. My marriage of nine years was almost over. I got married to my wife nine years ago and we both have two kids. We were living happily together until my wife was transferred to another city to work, That was how all the problems started coming up. When she was first transferred we always talk when she’s on break or closed hours, Sometimes she does come to the house and spend the weekend with us. After some months things started slowly going down and the communication started dying off, She didn’t come to the house again nor respond to calls. Now if I call my wife to check up on her she will start coming up with all kinds of excuses. All this worried my mind and kept me in deep pains. So one day I had to travel to the city where she works. I got to her home address she gave me when I got there, I rang the door, When the door was open I saw my wife with just a towel and what shocked me was seeing another man lying in bed fully naked. This broke my heart and I walked away. After some months have passed my wife never even cared to call me, That is when I now said to myself that this is not ordinary. I came to the internet to look for help. That is how I came across SPIRITUAL UYI who helped restore peace in my home today. The man I saw with my wife was a co-worker who used spiritual power to lock my wife for her to forget everything about us. But with the help of  i was able to get back my wife, SPIRITUAL UYI did best magic spell that brought back my wife to me.

    My marriage with my husband was all blissful till the day he walked away and never returned. I was broken and helpless and so many loved ones came through for me to join forces with me to resolve the misunderstandings i had with him but nothing was effective. He left me and our boys and before I could get to know anything else about him, I was told he is presently with an Asian lady and I knew that I had to fight to win him back to us. I had to reach out to Dr Masako and he came right on time to help me fix the problems. I was made to understand the procedures on how everything I wanted will duly happen and I complied. Dr Masako was hastened to fix the problems in my marriage knowing my husband was about to be taken wrongfully and just as he promised, the result of his work manifested and my husband got back home to us. I can’t thank him enough for everything. You can contact Dr Masako on his Email: doctormasako@gmail.com

  • Soing Shade: February 06, 2026

    Hi viewers online, I’m here to share my testimony about how I was helped to get my husband back. I was a cheat and my husband caught me several times. I tried fixing myself and each time I ended up cheating over and over again. I guess I didn’t realize what he meant to me until he had left me alone. I began to find a way to get him back but nothing seemed to work out perfectly until I came across an article about Dr Peter who helped a lot of people globally to get their relationships back. I made contact with him and he assured me that my husband will come back to me within 48 hours with his powerful magic for the materials needed for the work. Surprisingly, my husband came back home after 2 days saying that he still loves me and I swore never to cheat on him anymore. All thanks to Dr Peter. You can have a chat with him on his Email drpeterspellcater21@gmail.com

    How To Get Your Ex Lover/Partner/Boyfriend/Girlfriend/Wife Or Husband Back Contact Dr David awesomenesspelltemple@gmail.com or WhatsApp/Call Him +2347051149457

    My husband changed dramatically towards me, doesn’t communicate anymore. He disrespects me and accuses me falsely of infidelity because of wicked gossip …but I’m simply AMAZED at the results of PRIEST AWESOME (AWESOME SPELL TEMPLE) who did a reunion love spell for me. Everything is going so well and EXACTLY how he said it would be. Even though it took 3 days to fully progress, it was so worth it because things are just about at perfection! How he took my situation and completely turned it around to give me exactly what I wanted is beyond me, but something I will never question and just be completely grateful for. God Bless Dr. DAVID for turning sorrow into happiness. You can also contact PRIEST AWESOME : give you 100% guarantee that he will help you..Email him: awesomenesspelltemple@gmail.com or WhatsApp him on +2347051149457

    My husband Broke up with me, left me and my two kids, I apologized to him but he never wanted to see me at all, I also tried few other means to get him back but all efforts failed, instead, he started working on a divorce, then I was lost and hopeless, drowning in my mistakes. I decided to surf on the internet for help, then I saw lots of testimonies about a powerful love Spell caster called Priest AZ, I read so many testimony and stories of how Priest AZ restored people’s relationships and marriages and I decided to contact him, He responded immediately and give me some instructions which I followed and surprisingly within 24hrs My husband contacted me again after a year of silence, My husband started asking for forgiveness of course I can’t hesitate to forgive my husband. Priest AZ pulled me out of the darkness. He helped me returned my husband back to me within 24hrs with his powerful and effective love spell. Now, I live in the light with my Husband and family, forgiven and renewed. If you urgently need to get your ex back to you, Contact Priest AZ at Mightylovespell@gmail.com.

    I’m sharing my experience to help others who may be going through the same situation. I lost 260,870 in cryptocurrency to an investment scammer and thought it was gone for good. After exhausting several options, I eventually got assistance from Brunoe Quick Hack, and to my relief, the stolen funds were successfully recovered. The process restored not only my assets but also my confidence after the scam. This experience will always remain a part of my story, not as a symbol of failure, but as proof that even in the face of significant loss, determination and careful action can sometimes lead to unexpected recovery.CONTACT>>> BrunoeQuickHack-(@)-Gmail.Com

    Here is my testimony.. I thought it was over for me when my ex left. I gave all I had for the relationship to work but it was all failure. 4month after my partner left me for another person, I was introduced to Dr Masako and he helped me bring back my ex in 24hours. Now we are fully married and I am 2months pregnant. I promised Dr Masako that I will tell everybody about him if it works. I am very glad to be living a happy life with my love. He did it for me and I am 100% sure that he will do yours. I am a living example. Contact him directly: Doctormasako@gmail.com

  • max kai: January 26, 2026

    My name is Max Kai, and I’m from the USA. I was deeply in love with a woman, and even after I found out she was cheating on me, I still wanted to make things work. Unfortunately, she chose to stay with the person she cheated with, and that broke me. About six weeks later, I came across a post on a relationship forum about a spell caster named Dr. Masako who helps people reconnect with lost love through love spells. With nothing left to lose, I decided to reach out to him via WhatsApp and shared my story. To my surprise, within just 24 hours, Dr. Masako helped bring my ex back into my life and now, we’re engaged and planning our wedding. I honestly didn’t expect this to work, but it did. If you’re going through something similar and need help getting your ex back, I highly recommend contacting Dr. Masako. You can reach him on WhatsApp at +2349047144277, email him at doctormasako@gmail.com, or visit his website: doctormasako2.wixsite.com/drmasakospelltemple
