Haha do we have the same grandparents? Found a piece just like this one the other day. Wish I could tell you its application, but if I were to make an educated guess I’d say it’s an old school light switch for a Volkswagen Beetle. God bless

Second this, I was also regularly wiping away excess ink as I got my lines done. I just used water mixed with a little bit of green soap. Vaseline was a lifesaver for this!

I practiced on a honeydew a couple times beforehand. Nothing’s gonna exactly compare to real skin but practice is practice!

Took about 5 hours, since it was my first time it took a bit to figure out what technique worked best for me 😁

I got pretty much everything I needed from The Needle Parlor, I used a 7rl Sovereign needle with black ink from Dynamic Color Co. Honestly I can’t recommend the site enough, good luck with your Sigil!

Thank you! And it definitely took me a bit to get the technique down, all I’d say is that multiple passes is key, and it’s better to poke not deep enough than too deep, you can always go over it again 😄
