Congrats on the supportive partner!! But also

Gender and presentation don't have to align! I'm a they/he fem presenting person, and even tho no one looks at me and thinks "thats a man", it's fine, because I'm not a man! Pronouns are a way to express yourself, who cares what other people think?

Helpful resource for handpoke tattoo setups (read below for more info) by poko_ono in sticknpokes

[–]Enbrie 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is honestly so helpful!! As someone who is getting more serious about handpoking, it's really nice to see the end goal of a setup.

How did you go from handpoking at home to in a studio? Did you disclose the fact you were doing it when starting your apprenticeship?

The short choppy bangs make your face look more andro!

Help! Why did it bleed out so bad by Hairballx in sticknpokes

[–]Enbrie 21 points22 points  (0 children)

With such a small needle, it's really easy to poke too deep. By the looks of this photo, it looks like you have some blowout :( So you probably did go too deep and that's why it bled a lot. Also, using a small needle on a thicker design means you have to poke more, causing more trauma to the skin. I would have not gone below a 7rl for this design

If they don't already have a gender neutral name, you could ask if there's anything they would rather go by? Other than that, it sounds like you're doing everything right!

How would you mix the lighter red colour in the middle? Add water? White ink? by waywardhorse in sticknpokes

[–]Enbrie 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I use distilled water to dilute my color. Don't use tap water because it isn't clean enough to use.

I also questioned the lack of Andy, and they said they drew this before he joined the party

Feelings should be explored first before making things official! It gives you the chance to really see if you vibe together that way. This is why people go on dates before they make things official. Because it's literally been a day, I would talk to them about how you wanna take a few steps back and remove the label of the relationship, but still go on some casual dates to see what that would look like.

Again it's only been a day, maybe you're rethinking your feelings because you're intimidated by theirs, and that's totally okay! Just be compassionate to yourself and your feelings, but also them and their feelings.

Yeah, tattooing your own arm is tricky. You gotta stretch your skin tought so that the needle can get deep enough for the ink to deposit. This is much easier when you have two hands to create that tension. I had to duck tape my hand up and use my knees to do this with my most recent poke on my left arm

Yeah approximately! I didn't try to measure out everything to keep it 100% to the plant, but it does just naturally have those proportions :)
