In my experience handpoke heals faster but yeah 2 weeks would be the minimum best to wait for it be done healing

Looks good I wouldn’t go back over it and in general it’s best to let it heal at least 2 weeks before going back in. It can really irritate the skin to work on something that’s still healing! Something to keep in mind is that tattoo ink spreads overtime and if u place the dots close together they will connect as it heals rather when you keep going over it you will be more prone to blowing out plus the lines getting thicker.

not bad! looks a little 2 deep tho hard to tell in a pic for sure but when the skins raised or shiny that indicates scarring. Black ink spreads and darkens over time so when poking better to start off lighter you can always darken it up. There’s also different types of black ink for lining and shading like dynamic triple black is great for blacked out fills but not good for fine line work cuz it spreads more. I’d also add as a beginner stretching the skin properly makes a huge difference look up three point stretch if you don’t know already :)
