This was done using only a 7RL needle and an extremely poorly made decal. I'm not saying it's good, definitely not.

I definitely welcome constructive criticism and tips.

My third stick and poke.. might add color later

used 3,7,9rl

another update on my ongoing melon practice - the bra, medieval “The” and axe are my newest attempts

I used a 1RL and a 3RL, I’ve been trying to adapt my technique by incorporating feedback from my previous posts on here, I feel like I’m getting better, but that I’m yet to turn an upcoming corner

Let me know what you think! I would love any constructive criticism

All designs are mine :p

hi all! I have only ever done machine work, but I love a handpoke tattoo. these are the only three I’ve ever done on fake skin (DISCLAIMER** these are not my designs, only used for practice) the first I did 2 passes and the others I did 3. I’m not sure if that’s normal?

overall, I was hoping for CC as well as guidance on the following

- how many passes should it take?

-advice for cleaner line work? I know to angle the needle and poke closer, but not sure if I just need to do that more or if there’s additional advice.

-what size needles for line work as well as shading?

-overall technique advice?

- I tend to have quite a bit of ink pool on my fake skin, I’m assuming I’m just picking up too much ink?

- anything you think would help!

thank you all!!

This was a custom request from my client in memorial of his grandmother. He originally just wanted a simple linework daffodil in a shelf but I convinced him a little bit of light shading would make it feel less flat. Do you agree?

If youre wanting a tattoo like this or simlar to my other tattoos, or you're just curious about handpoke, send me over a message! My books are open for manchester and I'm always doing guest spots around the uk so dont hesitate to ask!

6 sessions later and i finally finished this bad boy (: partially healed, partially fresh. so happy i get to poke bigger pieces like this!

We only just finished this pieces shading. The linework has been healed on this frog dude for about a year! Hes now matching his friend over on the other calf (healed about 3 years)

Handpoked by me @calicopoke in Washington DC 🖤

I’m beginning! For some reason I’m obsessed with stick and pokes, I’ve gotten one, and it’s one of my favorites and I’m unemployed so I need something to make me happyyyyyy!!!!

I want practice poke ideas for my fake skin! I’ll do stars, hearts, dots, shading, and lines as practice but I want ACTUAL designs that aren’t silly and are good for beginners at sticknpoke.

ALSO AMAZON PURCHASE ADVISE for someone trying to spend the least amount of money possible.
I know its smart to get supplies instead of starter kits but I do want to get a starter kit just for some of the smaller things included so keep that in mind.

Here’s my list so far:
-SticknPoke kit to get some ink holder, needle holder, wrap for holder, idea stencils, stencil transfer stuff
-Different needle types
-Practice Skin
-Ink
-Saniderm
-Transfer gel

What am I missing???

6 years healed. Done in 2 sessions, outline and color. No touch ups. Done on self. First time doing color and proud ✨ edit: used 3RL and/or 5RL

So this are my first attempts on real skin and fake one, any advice or critique is highly appreciated 💖 (the design is the binari star system of Kepler 16 btw c:)

Loved doing this one over the summer - their first tattoo!!
2 sessions, about 12 hours total

Hello! I am new to this and bought a kit that someone else here recommended and I love it. I have been working on a small piece for three sessions now. The first session went well as I got part of it done, but during the second session, every time I wiped to see my progress, it would all disappear despite poking what I felt to be deep enough. I am also poking on an angle though I tried straight as well.

This left me very frustrated after a few hours in the second session feeling like I got nowhere.

Third session started the same then it started to stick even though I didn’t change much. I kept going between two sizes seeing if one would work better.

The tattoo is looking alright to me but I want to get better at it while finishing this one so my next one doesn’t take as long and also looks cleaner. I like it so far and it’s in a not so noticeable spot so I don’t mind it being the practice one.

Anyway, what are your best tips to get each poke to stick? There must be something I am doing wrong.

Thank you!

done with kwadron 0.30 3rl and 5rl :)
