Stick n poke progress! Started 3 weeks ago

those stars on the left are also my stick n pokes. If I could change anything and I might, I will make the star bigger above the deer’s nose and loose the dots, it’s just not cohesive with the other stars

did my first freehand piece this past weekend!

huge step up for me as an artist to draw directly on someone’s skin and tattoo it🤯 still buzzing from how exciting it was to do this! there’s one or two things i’d change looking back (more consistent line weights between the hearts, more stippling going inwards) but overall i’m pretty proud of the outcome!

the heart at the top was the last part to be poked, hence the puffiness. took about 4 hours including drawing time. used a 14rl for everything. i’m happy to receive and apply feedback!

Supplies

Hi hi! Apologies if this has already been asked and posted, but I couldn't locate a recent post.

I'm wanting to get supplies to do sticknpokes at home on myself and friends. I was hoping for a full list of supplies I'll need, and the best places to get them.

I want to do stupid small ones. Can I draw on myself as a stencil, or should it really be done and traced on transfer paper?

Needles: I'm seeing all sorts of size suggestions. What's used for thin, thick, shading etc?

Ink: I know to get this from a reputable tattoo company, any suggestions?

I'm looking for every little thing I could need. I intend to do these with proper sanitation. I may get the fake skin to test if thats a good idea, but idc if I have a couple of shitty ones.

Thanks so much!

Some of my fav stick n pokes (meaning not quality)

  1. Based off the barbie.com website dress up princess games, there were different color swatches that would give you separate dresses in that color, I can always hear the sparkly/glittery sound effect that it would make when I look at it.

  2. Dan and Phil (representing the YouTubers)......my little guys. Did it in a bad spot (mentally), and mostly it was just an attempt to stay sane and grounded, remembering the things that have gotten me through, etc. For some reason the blue is muddy, maybe because my skin is strange. I know the black heart has a weird little tail/arm, I'll fix him some day if I don't become emotionally attached to it.

  3. Carl. One of my first tattoos. Did it in a painful place cause I needed some pain. I've touched him up once. He just looks at me. And I look at him.

None of my tats are perfect, or amazing, but I do them rather than self harming. So they make me proud.

7 Yr old stick n’ poke

Good memories with this one. I was 18 and traveling with friends after graduation; working on this during the late nights.

First handpoke :D

First poke on myself !

Ive been learning to tattoo with a machine and wanted to give stick n pokes a go!! i think i did pretty well :) I used a 7RL for the darker pokes and 3RL for the lighter ones (and to loosely outline the stencil at the beginning of the process) i also only used black ink, no dilution.

Its right under my knee, i jacked up the placement a little bit but luckily it's not super noticeable from afar so it doesnt really keep me up at night lol. You live and you learn i guess !

I also made the design myself

If anyone has any advice id really really love to hear it!!
