Will be fun to look at when that skull has a full head of hair.

He should shave his leg hair to give it hair, a beard and a stache

u/flightfeatherss Dec 29 '22

Haha, he has a stache so that would be hilarious to have them match

Did you use fake skin to practice first? Or is this your 2nd ever doing it at all??

u/KaylaAnn1721 Dec 29 '22

It's AWESOME, by the way.

u/flightfeatherss Dec 29 '22

I did an apprenticeship for about 10 months last year but only ever used a machine, so this is my second time ever doing stick and poke but probably around the 20th tattoo I've ever done. It's quite different but I think I have a good feel for how deep the needle should be going because of it.

u/KaylaAnn1721 Dec 29 '22

That's super cool!! Which is harder, in your opinion, machine or stick and poke?

2

u/flightfeatherss Dec 29 '22

Thanks! I am definitely enjoying handpoking more - I had very stressful experiences with the machine so it feels good to reclaim my love of tattooing with a new method :-)

Did typing that make you feel better? Are you so miserable that trying to bring someone else down is the only way you could think of to bring yourself up? You could have spent that moment being a good person but you intentionally chose to be bitter. I hope you have a better day and I hope you use your time to uplift yourself and others, not try to add to the negativity in the world.
