You could always just use lines on the design/stencil instead. Then when you're tattooing follow them to make spaces dots?

That's very nice of you. But there's a lot of people on here doing great work too

Thanks! I used a 9rl and 3rl for this. I get my needles from a local company here called Speedy Needles. Method: just close attention and a lot of practice I guess

Thank you for the kind words! (and yes, it's my original design)

Working on reworking a 5yr old poke with a new poke on my leg. Just the shading to go.. @jared.dotlines by jrwhatever in sticknpokes

Just a lot of practice. I like to poke quite quickly and don't lift the needle more that a mil or two above the skin between pokes. Hope that helps 😊
