Stick 'n poke needles

viking · May 11, 2011

So I have some amazon gift card credit, so I was thinking of ordering tattoo needles instead of using sewing needles. What kind would be best? Shader or liner? I was just gonna get 5rl. I have no idea what the difference is.

How hard do I press?

Thanks.

Get a 5round liner and 3round liner. You'll figure out how hard to press, it's about the same.

Would there be any reason to use real tattoo ink over regular india ink?

Stays blacker, longer and doesn't 'bleed' under the skin as much. From my experience.

I have an oval on my right arm that says 'circle' above it

. The joys of stick and poke lol, home made ink too, shouldn't do that one.

Turns out the seller I was gonna buy from is selling counterfeit ink.

Fuck it.

I use piercing needles. They hold ink well.

Get a 3 liner with '00' needles, spiral ground if you can find them them, they are a lot better for handwork.
Ink wise, if you can't get tattoo ink then use either Rotring technical pen ink or Pelikan (if you can find it).
India ink often contains shellac and should be avoided.
