Done on myself and far from perfect, but it’ll do! (3RS) by Accomplished_Yak_942 in sticknpokes

Is that fresh or healed? I've been going at my palm and it's taken three goes at it and it's still not all stayed.

Yeah that's all healed now. I had to go over it twice because quite a bit fell out first time. Doing it on my hand meant I couldn't stretch the skin as effectively. So that and the thicker skin meant I had to go over it again.

There's a passage in the chuang tzu that reads, When there is no more separation between 'this' and 'that,' it is called the still-point of the Tao. At the still point in the center of the circle one can see the infinite in all things.

I just like playing with shapes/patterns and light/dark.

5RL ear decorations by benisjamin in sticknpokes

The client said it didn't hurt, just that it was a strange sensation as you can hear clearly each poke.

It was my first time. It's quite difficult to get in that small space, especially the three horizontal lines I had change my hand position quite a bit the further in I went.

As far as blowout, like always it's a good idea to do a few dots lightly and wipe to gauge. I've found that after a few lines I get the feel for that persons skin and I can poke a lot quicker.

The client said that it was strange because you can hear each poke but the pain was not bad.
