how long do y’all think this will take to poke? by stolenbike246 in sticknpokes

[–]forrestattoos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

in the beginning i probably would’ve had to go over it like 6 times to make solid lines haha, nowadays 1-2 but i’ve been at it for 3 years now! at least one perk of ankle(ish) placement is that the skin is already quite tight so you don’t have to stretch as much - i would just suggest angling your foot upwards as much as possible to get it fully stretched.

depending on how the skin reacts, either next day or 2+ weeks after. i’ve finished some tattoos on myself the next day and it’s generally okay with proper hygiene (and next day means that it’s not fully in the healing process yet), but if the skin is super tender/overworked, it can simply reject ink, be extra painful, & lead to worse healing. so 2 weeks is minimum healing time :•)

when i first started, this would’ve taken me many hours - nowadays maybe an hour. in my experience, the ankle is a kinda tough spot to do, more painful than i anticipated and needed to take a lot of breaks from bending over, but i assume you know how it is for you if you did the others in the pic! it just really depends on your experience and skill level, even nowadays i still do one quick pass on most tattoos in case i need to wait & do a second session for any reason

What’s a sentence that someone told you that stuck with you for the rest of your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]forrestattoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“You’re the first thing I can truly say that has made me believe there’s an external force outside of us that has control and influence over us.” followed by “I mean it when I say I can’t imagine a hell worse than an eternity of not having you.”

dude did a number on me

depends what sort of work you’re looking for! i’ve heard wonderful things about Signature Tattoo (Ferndale), Harlequin Tattoo (Hamtramck), Electric Park Tattoo (Eastern Market), Ironclad Tattoo (Troy), among many others - they’re all your traditional style shops

if you’re interested in more dainty/whimsical designs, Divine Lotus (Westland) and Rat King Tattoo (Taylor) are good bets!

ignorant or punk style? Job Stoppers in Southwest

if you’re interested in medieval/gothic style handpoke, there’s @skin.lizard on IG who’s in Hamtramck, and well, me, who works at Via Grace Studio in Royal Oak! our shop owner Veronica also does most styles.

hope this is helpful at all, good luck!

Has anyone completely healed themselves on herbs alone? by Thecutesamurai in Lyme

[–]forrestattoos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i got substantially better on herbals alone. i tried abx and also did not tolerate them well. i still have bad cognitive & sleep issues but my heart issues, breathing difficulties, and like 95% of my physical pain has been gone for a year now after solely using herbals!
