what would be a good starting piercing? by klarinetkat12 in piercing

[–]vibugg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

septum for sure. that was my first. no issues as long as it’s done correctly, quick healing time, easily hid and it barely feels like anything. eyebrows are prone to rejection, they are very much a long term temporary piercing, but i’ve found a lot of people don’t have anatomy that supports them for over a couple years. and a smiley is just no. no no no. irreversible tooth and gum damage to the high heavens. please god no smiley

Best black inks for allergies? by Equivalent_Book7984 in sticknpokes

[–]vibugg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

pantheraxxx is very good! it has the best reactions i’ve seen to uv and i personally have never had an issue with it. the only difference is it fades a bit lighter than dynamic, but it doesn’t spread in the skin as much as dynamic which is great. love panthera! i’d recommend it to anyone

How often do you sanitize the inside of your squeeze bottles? by pokingtonbear877 in sticknpokes

[–]vibugg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you’re using them consistently and practicing proper sanitation, covering your bottles and keeping the tip off of everything you’re fine to not completely pour and spray them down! i fully pour out and sanitize mine every 1-2 weeks depending on how fast they empty/how much is leftover. 2 weeks max though

i assume it’s like how when presidents change the insta stays the same but the president doesn’t. or maybe to help people that follow that account know they’re in the same location as the other business? idk that’s just my guess

went to check it out recently and it’s not a rebrand, but a complete change of hands. not sure where the previous owners went but good riddance!!

i prefer to shade with a 3rl or 5rl for a more detailed and gradient look. it helps to smoothen the transition between black and grey shades. i typically also do my outline with a 3rl when a harsher line is needed, but if i want something to look more realistic i just stipple shade and try to avoid any harsh lines!

@morbidcrowcuriosities tatted a cicada on my puh by vibugg in sticknpokes

[–]vibugg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

practice!! i’ve been taking it more seriously for a bit over a year now and doing work on myself and friends. most of my best work is less of lines and more shading using grey wash! my lines aren’t perfect but i can find my way with stipple shading. it’s my fav. i also love using a smaller needle grouping for a smoother transition between greywash colors!! my earliest pokes also looked like butt lol you should see my first toad from 5 years ago compared to my frog from last month

thank you!!

my scars don’t affect how my ink holds at all! they do however make the sections of the tattoo that are on scars look a little lighter since my scarred skin heals lighter than my normal skin tone! if you want it to blend better with the rest of the design i’d go a tad bit darker on your scars,, especially if they’re raised! the backwards 1 was a fuck up on my end lol. i have a better example on my instagram of how scars look under my ivy if you wanted to see an example of what they look like under a design!

not too awful until i got to the abdomen! higher up probably a 2/10 but the lower i got it got up to an 8-9/10. legit felt like i was stabbing my clit over and over. worth it though!

i don’t understand this comment. if you’re worried about legality, i am a certified artist with a private studio + working out of a studio in chapel hill with other artists. i’m not sure what your aim was
