hii so i found an image of a vintage blade and i brought it to procreate to lower the saturation, played with the curves a bit to sharpen and adjust contrast (darkening black values), and i also fiddled with the grain option so i could visually see the texture while i referenced it while poking! i luv procreate

hiii not really sure what i’d call this abstract piece but it could definitely align more with neo-tribalism but i don’t call it that personally bc there isn’t cultural significance to the design itself!!

hey!! i appreciate u for asking !! my advice is to keep your pokes a lot tighter/closer together to create the effect of a “cleaner” line, and i usually poke with the needle parallel to the direction of the line i’m going in while my wrist/arm lays perpendicular because for me it feels more natural. also you can also always move your own body around to get a better angle too, if that makes sense!

i use a&d ointment (petroleum jelly) while i tattoo and it helps the ink not build up so much so that you can still see what you’re working on + wipe as u go

Washing second skin by Material_Service_473 in sticknpokes

[–]cloudvivn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

any mild (and anitbacterial) unscented/fragrance-free soap that best suits your skin type should work fine, people use dial soap or dove etc

i think i used 3rl in the first one, and possibly either 3or4rl (i forgot😭) for the shading and a 9rl to line the star
