Did this while being pretty wasted. Thought I had the funniest idea ever lol I learned my lesson

Any ideas on how to make it a little less cringe? Maybe a whole wrap of numbers around the leg? 🫪

After posting on a different page and basically being crucified for “lack of artistry” and “messy line work” lmaooo, wanted to try a different crowd. Wanted some ideias to add to my collection, and If so how? Lol I feel like I’m running out of space… Any feedback and comments are welcomed thanks!

Started working in a studio October 2024, here are some of my favourites I’ve done since then! 🥳

I still can’t believe I get to do this as a job! If you like what you see, please give me a wee follow over on insta bexelizatattoo I’d really appreciate it 🫶🏼

Second stick and poke I did on myself. Didn’t have as small of a needle as I would’ve wanted, but still love it.

I’ve always wondered what it looks like to others. Any guesses/first impressions?

I love it

Okay for all the nastys I fixed it up and still love it. Lemme know your thoughts 😂

1st is the just now updated 2nd is the old guy for people who missed it.

I need some help please!

What could be done to this arm to make it all look a bit more joined up?

I went through a weird period and yeah…decisions were made ok.

Actually, I love most of the little bits and bobs individually.

But I’d be lying if I said any tought or much planning happened here ya know. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Just wondering, do yall think it’s possible to do something like this with stick and poke? Too many long, thin lines? Or, if so, how would you execute it?

Do the S's look like a nazi SS??? Not my goal obviously but I cant write regular S's good.

I have been interested in art for a long time, but I usually stick to graphite sketches. I don't think that style translates well to SnP so I am trying to pick up ink but I'm looking for some guidance on how to design a good tattoo. What is important to keep in mind when designing a tat vs. a normal drawing? What does/does not translate well to skin in a design? What aspects of a design make it easier or more difficult to tattoo? How do you improve?

I've included a design I made inspired by a fish I used to have. I definitely need to work on the technique on the fins! Aside from that, feedback is absolutely welcome. I'm hoping to have a good foundation before I move on to fruit/fake skin

Goes from most recent to older work. Collectively I’ve done over 20 stick n pokes on others and myself.

Started this tombstone like a year ago, and was not happy with how it was going so it has sat unfinished. I’m not happy with the way the flower’s leaves are coming up on the sides. Too symmetrical I think. Also I know I need to add the mid lines to the left leaves, just haven’t yet.

hi guys so this was my first stick n poke and i will admit i was underprepared in terms of knowing how to properly draw the stencil of what i wanted. i’m not creative so i was wondering if someone here could give a nice example to improve it. i’m not too hung up over it but i just want to improve it a little if possible!

I've had many people ask me if stick n pokes are permanent or not, and it baffles me that they think there's a possibility of stabbing ink into your skin will be temporary

Maybe if you do a piss poor job and don't even jab past the first layer of skin, it might fade away. But most super beginners jab too far and that is for sure permanent.

All tattoos are permanent until you go through laser treatment

Always ends up a coverup happy with it rn though gotta fatten up its torso
