Hello stick and pokers....stuck home right now looking to start poking myself again. Been using a lame pencil rig and looking to up my game... What inks do yall use? Best needles? Let's see some pics!
 
Once someone made an "epic fail" meme of my shitty stick and poke hand tats.
 
@Athena212
I use a pencil rig too, and have always been happy with it. Its tedious and fun!
I start w a 3rl to do the first lines, then go over it with a 9rl to darken and thicken it up.
In my experience to get them to come out good you just need the patience to go over the lines a dozen and a half times to get a bunch of ink in your skin.
Cant speak to what ink I used as I havent done any for a few years, usually just go to a tattoo supply shop and buy a little 2 oz bottle.
If you want to up your game, I would look into buying a cheap gun to get better lines.
Lastly, lots of pics in that thread @SlankyLanky linked for you. We showed you ours, now you show us yours. :)

Daddy-O @Brodiesel710 Daddy? No way on earth he'd have a NO RUGRATS tattoo!

Of course not! Just the Phoenix Suns logo, a frowning alien, galloping poodles, eye glasses, some weird monster lookin pizza slice things I drew when I was a kid, and lightning bolts that are totally not white sepremecist, I swear.
 
This one took a pretty long time. It's done with a 3round liner needle and cheap Millennium brand inks(which were kind of dried up, I had to rehydrate them with a bit of water and that actually seemed to work, tattoo is still going strong 5+ years later)

wowww great work!!
