Introduction
If you’re looking for a stick-and-poke tattoo, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve got all the information you need about this popular style of tattooing, from how it’s done and how long it’ll last to the types of materials that work best for this type of artwork.
Stick and poke tattoos
Stick and poke tattoos are temporary. They require no medical intervention, and they can be done by yourself, but they are painful, so it’s best to go see a professional if you’re not sure about your skill level. Stick-and-poke tattoos are cheap, too! You can get one for as little as $50 at some tattoo parlors (though this may vary depending on where you live). If you know how to draw with a marker or pencil on paper before getting started with stick-and-poke tattooing then the cost will be even lower than that!
The only downside is that stick & poke tattoos don’t last as long as other types of body art like piercings or laser removal procedures do because they’re made using both needles/pins (one) while piercing needles/pins only pierce through the skin once per session while stick & poke needles/pins pierce multiple times over several sessions until all ink has been absorbed into the skin completely (which takes between 2-6 weeks).
Stick and poke tattoo ink
To begin, you’ll have to decide on a tattoo needle gauge. The size of the needle determines how much ink is injected into your skin and how long it will take for the area to heal. The smallest gauges are generally used for small tattoos (such as the forearm or ankle), while larger ones can be used for larger areas like the back shoulders, or chest.
If possible, try not having any other piercings in that particular area before getting this done so that there’s no chance of infection from another piercing causing inflammation around your new tattoo.

DIY stick-and-poke tattoos
If you want to make your own stick-and-poke tattoo kit, here’s how:
- Buy a cheap set of markers. You can get these at any drug store or craft store. They’re usually about $4 total for the whole package, which is plenty for the amount of time it will take to make your own stick-and-poke tattoo kit.
- Get some blank paper or good-quality notebook paper (you can use regular paper but I prefer a notebook). You’ll need this as an example so that when you start making your own stick-and-poke tattoo kits later on down the line, they’ll look just like mine!
- Grab some old magazines like Entertainment Weekly or People magazine; these are great sources because they have lots of pictures inside them showing celebrities wearing various types of clothing—including ones with their hair sticking out everywhere! This way we won’t have any issues finding inspiration when trying our best not only as artists but also fashionistas ourselves.”
Conclusion
If you’re wondering whether a stick-and-poke tattoo is a right choice for you, remember that it comes with a lot of pros and cons. As we mentioned earlier, stick and poke tattoos are extremely popular for their versatility—you can create intricate designs on your skin without having to worry about expense or time! The only downside is that if done wrong, these kinds of tattoos can result in scarring or discoloration later down the line.
