This whole stick and poke thing going around is funny. I mean before tattoo guns how do you think people got tattooed? How do you think it is still done in traditional Tibetan and Japanese tapping? Also isn’t there also a big traditional tattooing thing in the Philippines as well? Besides all the other cultures that have done hand tattoos for centuries.

Of course doing it with sewing needles and pen ink is stupid as fuck! Its like I kept telling my friends when we were in highschool; don’t do your own piercings, its a similar issue. Why would you do something utterly stupid as purposely putting pen ink under your skin with sewing needles?!

There are literally professional tattoo artists who do or exclusivly do stick and poke tattoos and tapping. Go see one of them. Or better yet invest in one of these kits if you want to do it to yourself. (Been thinking of getting one myself and $44-66 is not a bad price.)

Be smart children don’t do stupid things, please use that brain between your ears and do some critical thinking!
