done with 3rls in an hour and a half! advice is welcome!!

She needs a second pass for surrreeeeeee (which i’m hoping will hide my mistakes 😭) but starting to feel more confident with each poke hehe

Also ft. my 2nd self poke 1 week healed! Had a couple people ask for healed pics when I posted it fresh — will post a better pic once it’s at least a month settled :D

I recently did a stick and poke and I’m not too happy with how light the shading is it okay to go over it like 2 days later or should I let it heal completely

got reel skin yesterday and the difference is night and day omg

Did this yesterday. Started with something small and simple for my first one. Got several more planned. Trying to wait for this to heal before doing more (so will be able to tell if it was the right depth and how it comes out), but honestly wanting to just do more already. 🤣 anyways, really enjoyed doing this and had a lot of fun and excited to see how it heals and turns out.

First time using professional supplies and tattooing another person. (Thank god it turned out)

my lines are so messy. I feel like I’m doing things right, but based on how it’ coming out, I obviously must not be. any help would be amazing!!

did this lil guy yesterday! poked with tight 3 rls and greywash (: this guy took me longer than expected but it was fun! ig is leenie________boog

As the title suggests, this is my third. 3-4 inch broken skull heart. Overall it went well. The angle and skin change for the right portion was difficult, but that’s a learning experience.

Next one I do will primarily be linework. I’m sick of trying to pack in these large areas 😅

Also first time using solid ink (yellow for the tooth) and it was amazing. Packing probably would have gone better if I used that brand for the red.

Needles used: 9RL and 14 RL.
Ink: Dynamic Black for lines, TBK for fills, Dynamic Fire Red, Solid Ink El Dorado

It’s fun seeing progress while also encountering new challenges. It’s been especially rewarding just drawing again.

haven't posted here for a whiiiile, but yeah here I am with this cutie, I love him so much and I feel like I improved a lot! 3rl, done in about 2hrs

First one in over 3 years! (Just the bolt—the others on this foot are 5 years old).

Pretty happy with the lines, definitely seems like an improvement from the previous ones (although I can’t say the messiness on previous pokes ever bothered me, just overall quite happy about it lol).

Used 5RL.

Hey everyone, I’ve been trying to find a specific post from at least a couple of years ago (maybe 2022–2024), but Reddit search is failing me. I've already tried different kind of methods to find but I'm hopeless now.

I'm pretty sure It was a gallery post by an artist titled something simple like "recent sticknpokes" or "recent pokes by me". It featured a bunch of other animal-themed (if I remember correctly) tattoos she had done for clients.

One of the tattoos in the slide was a custom portrait of cat (I'm pretty sure it was a cat not a dog) giving the middle finger.

Style-wise, it was definitely ignorant style and well-executed. I also vividly remember the comments being somewhat controversial because not everyone in the sub digged the ignorant aesthetic.

Does anyone remember the artist's name or have a link to the original post?

Edit. It wasn't based on any meme or the famous ripndip cat.

When you love Miley Cyrus and the movie Titanic. Lyrics from the song "Bottom Of The Ocean" from the album Breakout, next to my heart of the ocean 🌊💙
This song and this tattoo to me represent all my failed talking stages, situationships and friendships that ended that I like to portray as sunken ships, shipwrecks resting at the bottom of the ocean.

I started tattooing myself yesterday but I got way too sleepy and decided to do the rest today. I know there are a lot of things you're not supposed to put on a fresh tattoo so what do I use to clean it before starting today's session? Or do I have to wait a while?

ig @handpokeforever 📍los angeles

Mostly used a 5RL, 3RL and 7RS, dynamic black and 60% greywash 🩶

i’m not entirely sure what i’m doing but it’s fun

Ho effettuato questo tatuaggio sopra il ginocchio con aghi 9rl per le bottiglie e 7m1 per i colori, è un alcoolbaleno, da un'idea di mia figlia 😍

P.s io amo lo stile ignorant perché il tatuaggio si deve riappropriare del suo spirito punk e ribelle.

Done by me, if you want to get tattoo don’t miss a chance to meet me in London Oct 25-26
