Got my first stick n pokes yesterday and wow do they feel better than machine ones! Machines obviously have speed on their side, but no dragging and no noise. sooo much less overwhelming and my body doesn’t feel exhausted and overworked like it usually does after tattooing!
Game changer that I can still give my self stick and pokes but they don’t actually HAVE to be extremely janky and haphazard! with proper tools, planning, and careful execution, anything is possible
I think at home stick n pokes done by urself or ur friends are wassup and maybe da best. I don't care if they look low quality or fade fast or stop me from getting a job at TJ Maxx lol they make me smile and feel at home in my flesh bag. if ya got only professional tats I don't trust ya....
I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.
