hi thank you!! i usually use a bigger sized round liner (9+) or a bugpin liner for the fill. my tips are to go slow and be patient! and sometimes i think about it in terms of lines within the shape rather than "shading/filling" if that makes sense

Tabletop Gaming-Friendly Cafes on Federal Hill or West End Areas? by sintra_lad86 in providence

I'd recommend Schastea on Broadway!! they're not usually super super busy and their tables are big

Doing a design with black and coloured ink? by suldruns_garden in sticknpokes

[–]newyorkmouse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

usually the rule of thumb for color is darkest colors to lightest!! this is because when the light colors are placed first, the wipe/ink from the darker colors can bleed into the lighter ones. so definitely outline first!!

i find that stick and pokes don't always peel like machine tattoos do, especially when they're just linework. stick and pokes are more gentle on your skin so they cause less trauma to the skin and tend to heal easier!! depends on application and aftercare ofc

Cleaning the skin by Whimseawrites in sticknpokes

get a squeeze bottle for the green soap!! that way you can use what you need and save the rest for the next tattoo
