  • I know some of you on here hand poke yourselves. I’m intrigued...
    Malice has offered to let me tattoo myself under her supervision next time we hang out but still interested in maybe giving it a try.

    I’ve been handpoked so know the mechanics of it but how do you actually do it? Were y’all taught by others or just YouTube video and go for it?

  • I have some v dodgy attempts from when I was 17 with a Stanley knife. They were cuts with ink rubbed in but they are still here 16 years later.

  • Just sort of keep poking until you feel a pop. You're tattooed enough to know what a freshly tattooed line/dot should roughly look like so jab hard enough for it to look like that, it's not particularly complicated! I'm sure you'll be fine, especially with an expert there to watch over you. What are you thinking of doing?

  • Might as well just go all in and use the machine if you've access to it though, no?
