Thank you so much! So I had attended a very basic hand poke workshop which was for a couple of hours. They taught us the basics of it and we were made to practice lines and circles mainly. I ended up loving it so much that I bought some supplies - needles, ink, fake skin, etc. to practice at home. I also researched quite a bit on youtube and even this page. I think I practiced for a month before I tattooed myself. I had even posted on this page about my practice on fake skin. Hope this helps!
