I wanna do a stick and poke tattoo but I don't know how it would turn out. Also I don't know how deep I'm supposed to poke, can anybody give me tips?

Use India ink (you can get it at Michaels or any other art store) and use a sterile needle. I like using push pins bc you can hold onto the top. You can sterilize it by boiling it or using alchohol. Pour a little bit of ink into like a bottle cap or something so you can dip the needle in without contaminating all the ink in the bottle. You want to do pokes that just barely penetrate the skin. You'll bleed a little over the whole time but you don't want to draw blood with any individual poke yk. Like probably a mm or less deep, you dont want to go beyond the first couple layers of skin. It'll be really light at first so youll probably want to do like 3 layers of ink. Make sure you look up how to do it properly because if it gets infected it could be really bad.
