Sounds good. When I was doing it it certainly felt just sort of 'right'.
Today's the first day I haven't bepanthened it, it's a bit itchy but reckon that's more to do with the hair growing back in and it looks (to my untrained eye) like the ink's spread out a bit, filled the gaps between my pokes a little and like it's happy staying where it is.
Gonna try some lettering next I think, fingers crossed it's not totally illegible!
If you are bleeding from a hand poked tattoo you are going way too deep, with hand poke you really have to just have a feel/ear for it to get the depth right.
