Somewhat happy with the finished product buuut.
Got more needles with smaller sizes than I’ve been using and fine lines are easier just feel like they could be better

Probably a bit of a silly question, couldn’t find an answer
If I’m using black tattoo ink but the carbon on my stencil is black also, is it going to be difficult to differentiate where I’ve poked and what is just stencil?

Handpoked in Manchester UK by ig: Howellshandpokes
My client wanted a tiger to match the jaguar we tattooed on the other side of her torso! If you scroll you can see this healed with the fresh tiger! Probs to my client for sitting for this! It’s not an easy area normally let alone handpoked!

My final handpoke
Haven’t done any handpoke s this year, I only focused on machine tattoos but before I commit to fully quitting handpoke I wanted to try my hand at a portrait one last time, I feel like the background is a bit rushed but handpoke takes so long, I got so used to getting so much work done quickly with a machine that I no longer have the patience for this but it was a very pleasant process overall and I’m happy with the result.

Should I go through this tattoo or wait ?
Hi, I need honest advice because I’m hesitating a lot before my first tattoo appointment (already booked for next month)
I’m planning to get a handpoke tattoo made of simple lines that follow the body (organic, vine-like) on my ribs and upper stomach area. It’s not fine line or detailed, just flowing medium size lines.
The thing is: I was super sure about it, but recently I saw another style from a different artist that I love AND friends/family have told me how bad this area ages so now I’m doubting.
So I’m wondering: Are these kinds of doubts normal before getting a tattoo?
Or is it a sign that I’m not actually ready and might regret it?
How well do simple handpoke lines age in that area (ribs/upper stomach)? I also have the option to do this same tattoo on my back but I’m scared it might “take the spot” for a future tattoo
And would you go through with it, or wait until you’re 100% sure?
I like the original idea, but I’m scared of committing while having another style in mind…

first pass on little totoro
1211rl, just under an hour, my third on real skin
not super happy with it (especially the blowout on the right ear and some lines are a little too wobbly) but still kinda proud, i feel like i’m improving with every tattoo i do and i’m excited to see this settle :-)
will probably go over it again but the other two i’ve done so far very much needed a second pass after they healed and this one i think could be mostly fine, we’ll see!

What is happening here?
I did this stick and poke on my ankle a couple weeks ago, and it just recently started to look not great. There is absolutely no pain and I don't feel it at all, but it looks like it could have an issue. This was my first one but I'm pretty confident that I was sanitary, so what is going on? Is it infected?

Still obsessed with this Nosforatu rat i tattooed by hand last year! We didn't end up giving him the shading we were going to but i'm still more than happy with this result!
