need tips for beginner handpoke artist

i have been doing my own handpoke tattoos for about 2 years now and recently started doing tattoos on friends right now i’m not working with a lot of the supplies that i need because i haven’t got a lot of money. i have wanted to make this a career for myself so i started networking with friends and posting my work and i eventually landed a cafe event that wants handpoke artists but because of my lack of supplies idk if ill be any good right now all i have is ink and needles i buy gloves and razors before i tattoo and i go to people’s houses or ask them to come to mine to do the tattoos i need a stencil printer tho and some supplies to keep everything more hygienic i try my best with everything i have included disinfecting the surface where i do the tattoos putting plastic wrap on the table where i keep my supplies and washing my hands and wearing gloves but i dont think it is nearly enough i dont have ink caps so i use the packaging in which the needles come i feel kinda bad about all this and feel like im not good enough to work an event
i also want to keep getting better at realistic tattoos and at stipple shading and try to make my own designs but i have been very stressed and im in a mental block and i feel really bad about my artistic ability

practice pokes on fake skin + beginner questions

these are all the pokes i did this week, guess which ones were done most recently haha

most were done in 2 passes with a 7rl

questions:
- when tattooing real skin, is it alright to do 2 passes in one session or should i work toward more solid lines in one pass? worried about overworking skin
- what does your sanitary process for tattooing for real skin look like and what do you use to wipe the tattoo between pokes?
- how different is fake skin vs real skin? what should i take note of as i practice?

thanks for looking !

My First Pokes (On Myself)

I practiced on fake skin some before doing them on myself, but these are my first ones (order was crow > rabbit + swords > plant > rabbit, one a day LMAO).

Definitely plan to go back and darken the crow and maybe see if I can define the lines better on the bunny + swords.

But could I get a bit of criticism? Do these seem like a good start? I recognize they're far from perfect, but I feel like its a decent start?

beginner advice

Hi everyone! I started stick and poking yesterday and I am really interested in progressing as a hobby more!
I am looking for advice on how to improve. I saw on a previous post that 5 passes is recommended and i definitely did way more than that, how do you keep track?
I use a 5RL needle, I want my style to progress as a soft-vibe, fine line style!
Additionally, how can you get marker off more easily on fake skin? I’m having a lot of difficulty.
Please feel free to leave any advice as I am a beginner including: my technique, what kind of tools to prioritize, and others!
please be kind as i am still new to this :-)
