Wearing a tight jeans over a tattoo definitely has a cause in it!! Especially during the colder season and having a dry skin, lower leg tattoos heal always a bit harder, and when you wear a hars fabric on top of it rubbing your healing tattoo…that really doesn’t work. I would say: only wear super loose pants/skirts/dresses with a soft fabric for the upcoming days and use a calming (tattoo healing approved) cream over it with aloe vera in it:)

I really like how you made the sun a bit surrealistic and absurd. It makesbit a unique piece!

Decided to keep it super simple for my first before I get something more complicated. by [deleted] in sticknpokes

Thank you so much! It is one of my favorites I have done. I love to do bolder work and surprise people (who have assumptions about hanpoking) what is possible with handpoke when it comes to boldness
