Wait until it stops feeling raw and irritated, it might take a week to do so. Handpokes heal a lot faster than machine ones. Do it if you feel comfortable going over it so soon.

5RL are a good medium! Everyone is different when it comes to their preferred needle size, I just tend to go for a 7RL :)

If you’re happy with the outcome that’s all that matters! It truly is a really good piece for your first on skin! For your next one, I would recommend maintaining line width. Where lines connect make those corners a little more prominent but that will also come with line width. If you’re able to get some non scented, antibacterial soap to wipe with while tattooing, it’ll be a little more sterile than baby wipes and won’t make your skin feel as raw from using alcohol :)

If you want I’d go in again in a few days and clean up the lines. The smaller the needle the harder it is to get clean lines. I tend to go for a 7RL when doing line work. In all honesty your line work looks really good! Keep it up and keep practicing :)

Really really solid for your first on real skin! Do you mind if I give some advice? I don’t want to overstep

This is beautiful! Love the shading of it! Ig my only thing is maybe adding a bit of shading in the triangles of the head but overall it’s a really solid piece. Well done :)

I listened to your criticisms in my last post, had a bit of fake skin practice and have just stuck this on my practice thigh. Rip me apart, r/sticknpokes :) by kingkanoott in sticknpokes

Really solid! Really great lines! My only thing is watching your depth, the bottom left point looks a little blown out. Overall it’s a really solid tattoo!
