#snp tattoo

Submission from @illuminarchie 
These are his first two stick and poke tattoos, and I’d say he’s off to a great start!  

First time using shader needles for a hand-poking

I used a 9Round-Shader to fill in the black areas; two passes with the needle, could have gotten an opaque black if I did a couple more passes, but I wanted a more weathered look to it, given the post-apocalyptic vibe I was going for.  Definitely a lot faster and more uniform than trying to pack black/color with a lining needle.

I used Kokkai Sumi ink instead of the “Infinitii: Black Outline” that I like; so far I like the Kokkai Sumi, but I don’t have any done with this ink that are fully healed yet, so I can’t give a firm opinion as of yet.

[EQUIPMENT]
Needles: Pre-sterilized, single use, blister-pack 5Round-Liner and 9Round-Shader Tattoo Needles
Ink: Pre-sterilized Kokkai Sumi
Misc: Paper Towels, 91% Isopropyl Alcohol, disposable ink cups, Dial Gold Soap
Care: Dial Gold Soap, Tattoo Goo

I meant to do a tutorial with my next tattoo but I got too excited and forgot.  Shit.  Maybe I’ll film a super simple one tomorrow
