MISS POKES TATTOO
HANDPOKED TATTOOS
✦ About
Hi! I'm Chelsi Amour, based in Metro Manila, Philippines.
I started doing handpoked tattoos in 2017 and went full-time in 2019. I love creating tattoos that make people happy and more comfortable with themselves. It's like decorating our own homes with things we love!
My first studio was a box in a parking area that used to be the building's bodega. I tried to make it cozy with plants and knick-knacks from friends and clients, and I still think of it fondly. haha After running (and crying) through a bunch of life quests, I opened Creature Comfort Studio in August 2023! It's a dream come true to work with fellow odd folks in a space where, I hope, everyone can be at ease and enjoy the experience of getting a tattoo.
I'm really lucky and happy to be here, and I couldn't have done it without everyone's support!
