[@mariacova8999]

That was awesome! I really want to know, what did you use water for? ((the little glass of water)) ??

[@ArtAntiDe]

As far as I know the cup with destilled water is used to clean the needle from time to time. There is usually some built up from cells and ink. Some people also use water to dilute ink, but it's better to use sterilised water or even special dilution-solution from your ink supplier.

[@tobiasgl19]

Do the needles already come sterilized? If so, would it be unnecessary to sanitize them again just to be sure?

[@undergroundmud]

What do you use the shot glass for again? I never saw you use it.

[@PatrickMallett]

Stanley Hall Lol, yeah I totally dropped the ball on explaining that part. I fill it with water and occasionally slosh the needle around to clean off any excess ink that may be drying up over time.

Una pregunta, los implementos para limpiar la piel y de descontaminación que usas cuales son? :) :)

[@Hi-vi7xw]

[@Brother0swald]

The first time you tattooed yourself, were you scared of the pain at all? My professional tattoos didn't hurt as bad as I thought they would, but the idea of tattooing myself makes my hands slightly clammy. I'm really interested in trying it though!

[@PatrickMallett]

That's a great question. After doing a bunch of research before my first time, I came across the saying: if machine tattoos are like a cat scratch, then stick'n'pokes are like plucking hairs. I remember that put me at ease when thinking about the pain. Also, that comparison is spot on, in my option! Another thing to consider is placement. My first stick'n'poke was on my thigh: not a real painful spot and I was able to use my non dominant hand to stretch the skin and better finesse the needle by not going too deep. I hope that answers your question! :)

[@Brother0swald]

@@PatrickMallett thanks for the reply! That does ease my nerves. I'm definitely going to do more research on the subject but that was a great analogy!

you wrap your ink cups with saran wrap?

[@PatrickMallett]

[@CL-ty6wp]

charcoal and water unless you like heavy metals and other carcinogens. Ink is unregulated and buying from amazon has a 50% you're getting a knock off .

[@stathisfragoulis6040]

what is ur process after u are done poking? it looked like you were abou to wrap it with kitchen paper. if so for how long do you keep it there ? planning to do one this week . cheers!

[@PatrickMallett]

I'll usually keep it wrapped for a couple hours. Then wash it with warm water and soap. I'll then pat it dry and put on a thin layer of Hustle Butter. I'll continue the washing and moisturizing cycle for about a week, two times a day, once in the morning and once before bed. This is the same aftercare process I follow for machine tattoos (give or take a couple days) and it works well for me. I hope this helps :) good luck!

[@justinkeaton2776]

Did you say that took you 21 hours?!

[@ashleighfoster3622]

How many times can you go over it if it’s not dark enough the next day? should you wait a week or two or can you just keep going with it?

[@PatrickMallett]

The healing process is different for everybody and can depend on how large the piece is. I'd wait 2-4 weeks before going back in. Look for healthy/smooth skin. Who knows, maybe you'll grow to love the lighter look during that time.

[@roxhc3256]

can i use needle for sewing and india ink? i mean im gonna buy new, i think about having a small celtic cross on leg, its my first time would that be good? any more advices that i can be safe about this all?and what can i use for stencil like in normal market , cant order rn. Thanks.

[@PatrickMallett]

If you're pretty set on using a sewing needle and India ink, I recommend doing some more research. I don't have any experience with either, therefore can't really give much advice on the matter. I've been using nearly the same process ever since I started doing stick and pokes: what you see in the video. I'm sure there are plenty of resources out there for sewing needle/India ink tattoos, but I'm not one of them. Best of luck!

[@CL-ty6wp]

Do not use india ink.

[@kegzie09]

did you say 21 hours??

[@PatrickMallett]

kegzie09 nope lol, around 2 hours.

[@pepghee-mendez395]

Question pls at the end why did you put paper towel on finished product Wouldn’t that absorb the fresh in before wrapping it? Thx

[@PatrickMallett]

That's a great question. All the ink that's visible after I wipe it, is under the skin. But it still is an open wound. Not open enough for ink to leak out, but open enough to where having it covered for a couple hours could prove beneficial in avoiding potential infection. Does that make sense?

[@pepghee-mendez395]

After viewing and looking at all the Q&A’s I did my 1st stick and poke and I love it! You helped a lot it’s not perfect as I have quite a few professional tats but it’s perfect to me as it’s mine and I did it myself and my lil stick and poke is placed right next to the pros thx again. I’ve had all my equipment for a while now and only your vid made me get over my fear and go for it!

[@PatrickMallett]

@@pepghee-mendez395 Thank you so much for sharing your story! I'm happy that you were able to find value in the video. I know exactly what you mean: they are perfect because you did yourself. Such a powerful feeling :)

[@aaliyahlindner7413]

Is using the hustle butter the same as using Vaseline?

[@PatrickMallett]

I've never used Vaseline before, but from what I understand, hustle butter is less likely to clog pores.

can you do this with a sewing needle?

@@PatrickMallett i have same around question, so do you use the green soap before taking the first poke and rub it again after the process is done?

[@PatrickMallett]

@@gabrielsatria8826 Yep! One wipe before starting and after the stencil is dry. And then a wipe before wrapping it off at the end. I’m also wiping after nearly every pass. It uses a lot of paper towels, but it allows me to get the most precise results, by being able to see the ink the best.

Quick question: what’s the shot glass with water for?

[@PatrickMallett]

Lol, I totally forgot to explain this. I'll occasionally dip and slosh the needle in the water for a quick rinse. Just to make sure ink isn't sticking/drying to the needle, making it easier for it to release under my skin. Does that make sense?

Of everything you got please lose the hustle butter in favor of some saniderm. The way you wrapped it with a paper towel made me cringe so hard.
