I’m Camille, a French handpoke tattoo artist and illustrator, based in Perth. I created Backpokeher while I was backpacking through New Zealand and Australia. Hence the name.

My creativity exploded on the road when I met new people everyday, surrounded by nature and weird animals from the land down under.

I find my inspiration for my design in my travels but also thanks to my scientific background. I’m a former anthropologist who decided to embrace my artistic side.

I love nature, especially insects, but animals and flora have a special place in my heart too.

I started handpoking in 2021 on people I met on the road. They told me their story and I translated it into designs. Thanks to them, I could improve my skills in tattooing.
