Stick and Poke (SnP) tattoos get a bad rep. They're generally associated with 15 year olds who can't get a legal tattoo, or prison inmates, or idiots with infections. They're the LOVE/HATE knuckles and the teardrop in the corner of your eye or the gang signs.
I disagree.
I am in love with SnP tattoos. I like the meaning, I like the fact I can do them myself, To me, they seem more real and raw and personal. There are plenty of reasons to do get an SnP or to not, but this post is not about the pros and cons, this is about how I went about giving myself one.
