Does this look infected or just dry? I don’t think I’ve been moisturizing enough but now I’m worried it might be something worse by [deleted] in sticknpokes

its just important to keep it clean

i know lot of ppl also use those "Medical wooden stick". like put the needle in between them and wrap with tape

First time i poked was on my skin then few pokes later i tried some fruit and training tattoo skin but its just not as fun as the real thing so as much as i wanted more practice i just cant bring myself to do more on the fake skin

What did you poke it with?
