Sorry, did it tonight and not that.
Bit more pain this time. Maybe because of the placement, maybe a slightly different technique. After @young_gun saying, "...with hand poke you really have to just have a feel/ear for it..." I noticed that going in and sort of flicking out (as I have seen done in some vids) makes more noise than straight in and out, so used that technique more this time. Think I also made more of an effort to make the lines a bit more solid too.
Pic of the last one I did too, I think it has fattened out a bit.

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!
