#snp tattoos

I know they aren’t amazing but hey, first stick & pokes.

Submission from @kiwisarentasian! I like the aesthetics you chose; but I’m curious as to what ink/needles you used.  Once they’re healed, you could always go over them later with a good tattoo ink and needles if you want to improve the quality.  In any case; it’s not a bad start, what matters most is that you’re happy with them!

another AM hours tattoo, it’s not as good as my others, but it fulfilled the purpose. (done by me, as always)

Submission from @deadinsides; I like it; reminds me of the American Old School Traditional style

a moon and dagger, just freshly done (by me)! (ft. the bee i submitted about a week ago)

Another awesome submission from @deadinsides! Love the fine point on that dagger tip.

I have a bunch more but these are my newest pokes ❤️

Wow I LOVE this!  Amazing submission from @kaideesumo That rat is the most adorable thing, and I love how clean the linework is on these!

I used to raise rats when I was a kid, cutest little things aren’t they?

[My Newest Tattoo]

Who would have thought tattooing the inside of your fingers would hurt?  My mentor decided that since I didn’t think 3RL needles hurt, I needed to experience a 1Liner needle…my dumb ass chose the inside of my finger to test it on (I have plans for the free spaces on the outside of my fingers, and fingers are my favorite place for tiny tattoos).  I wussed out and switched to the 3RL(which still hurt like a sonofabitch on the inside of the finger), so now he gets to laugh at me.  Fucker <3

That said, I got two adorable tattoos out of the experience, so I won’t complain.

But yeah, placement kiddos.  Smaller needles hurt worse than larger groupings, and some areas are just naturally more sensitive than others; but it’s bearable. (I mean hell, my mentor tattooed his own dick for fucks sake...PS please don’t tattoo your own dick, he’s a professional with around a decade of experience under his belt)

STUNNING submission from @ashen787

A six hour session, and first work on other people!  Keep at it, your work is AMAZING!

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.
