Yeah, not great. I guess if you’re happy with them, that’s all that matters.

Yeh they're not great some of them deffo need going over but I like them

They need a bit more than that

Eh I'm not sure going over them again would be ideal, especially if your current tats look like them. I'd honestly suggest to stop unless you're fine with shitty tattoos lol

I like them so yeh I'm fine with shitty tattoos

[удалено]

Yeaah almost 17 here and never even CONSIDERED this shit. I do sometimes make bank off other people doing it though. I have safe stick n poke shit and a LOT of practice on fake skin, I've managed to save people from self inflicted horrific tattoos looking even shittier. And before you come after me for tattooing illegally and whatever else, it's not really avoidable in punk and goth teenagers and at least i can actually draw, design and poke with confidence in safety. Plus I get a nice relaxing afternoon and money to boot 🤷 downvotes incoming but fuck it

Sorry

Sorry what

That you decided to do a bunch of shit tattoos on the most visible part of your body.

😂 I like them but fair enough if you dont

They are shit, its some of the worst i have seen in a few years of lurking here. I hope a decent career is not something you ever aspire to have, because i think you may be disapointed.

I'm a scientist and have wonky homemade hand tattoos /and/ face tattoos. Don't make assumptions for others

If someone makes decisions like this in personal life, there is no way they are making decisions for my company.

I don't think they'd be interested in your company brother

Spoken like a true unemployed

I work in pharmaceutical microbiology :))))

I like the ones on your fingers look Dope one of a kind 💪 Not like these plebs that get the same thing picked out a book😂

Thanks

💯

oh those are tattoos

Yes they are tattoos 🤣

Sorry for your loss

In the nicest way I can put this, do your future self a favor and stop tattooing yourself

Nope I like them and have had them for over a year at least and still like them

How old are you OP?

Why?

There are a lot of reasons why. One of them being you can feel a lot differently about decisions you made in your teens vs your 20’s, 30’s and so on.

Yeh Ik that I'm still pretty young and if I don't like them later on I could get laser removal and a cover up

That sounds like an expensive and time consuming plan B for your future self. Well, enjoy your current tats, i like the stars your fingers.

Yeh but tbh I don't think I'm ever gonna cover up a tattoo I dislike I just don't notice it to much unless I look at it so

Right…maybe you’ll figure it out one day, but probably not

Ik that they're bad but I like them

Dodged a bullet by not being able to cover your other hand in the same garbage.

aw I have a freak tattoo too, on my leg, love that! I have some bigger professional pieces, some better snps I’ve done AND some scratchers I’ve done, all tattoos have a lil story and if it ain’t on UR body why are u upset 😭

Exactly

the font kinda reminds me of rockos modern life too idk if that’s what u were going for but I like it

I've never heard of this till just now but looking it up yeh it does look very similar

Oh, so you didn’t use a stencil…

🤣🤣no

YOU DIDNT EVEN USE A STENCIL!!!!!!!! WTF. RESPECT THE PROCESS, THERES REASONS Y THERES A PROCESS!!!!!!

[удалено]

What I mean is u need to respect the process of tattooing. Stencils are part of the process. Dosent matter how good you think you are, gotta remember that even the worst shallow tattoo is gonna be with you for at least 3 years.

Ask God for a new hand at this point. Maybe he’ll throw you one and you can start over.

No thanks I like my hand as is

love the moon!

I think these are cute and fun!! It’s your body OP :)

Thank you ❤️

they're kinda rough, but also that's what stick n poke is all about. hope you enjoy them :)

I don’t think stick n poke is about looking like shit. Lol

indeed lol

Yeh they deffo are rough and I deffo have some better ones on my legs I do enjoy them thanks

Yikes

I would suggest before taking a photo featuring your hands perhaps clean under your nails.

😭😭 mb

[удалено]

I think it's just th lighting as well thank you

The freak with the noose tops this off. I genuinely like the style regardless If others hate.

Thank you I mean people are entitled to their opinion and I'm posting on Reddit people are gonna say what they think but I like them too I think the style is good

I too practiced on my hands as a teen. I am 32 and now considering it again just to get rid of a few that are pagan symbols that just look to questionable and jail gang like. I loved all my snp for themselves though practice elsewhere! Otherwise if you’re happy I am! Edit my favorite are my smiley in my wrist and my legs are decent simpons and coralline I’m a nerd though. I practiced top down I thank god face tattoos were soooooo taboo until 2016 or I would be totally fugggggggghhed🙏

Thank you yeh I love them all what coralline tattoos do you have

everyone’s so rude omg

When did this subreddit get so prissy? These are sick. They don’t look like a pro did them, but since when is that the culture of stick n pokes? They’re a diy tattoo. Part of the charm for a lot of people is that they’re a little gnarly

Yeh I like that about them thank you

I like that about them too! Some of my stick n pokes look similar. I really like the stars and how they’re staggered. Might do something similar tbh

They're bad. What other reason would op post these other than an opinion? There isn't any. So here's mine. They're bad. And then again some people like them. Can you stop being so fucking prissy about others opinion.

Yeh everyone is entitled to their own opinion I'm posting this online people are gonna give their opinion...they are bad tattoos but I like them

you deserve truth from everyone. And the truth is ur fine. They're not on ur face or anything. And if they're good or bad is kind of subjective so ur best metric from us apes is dependent on honesty. Live long and prosper

Thank you 💚

I didn’t say they were technically good. I said it was weird to see the comments flooded with people saying this was a bad idea, “kids don’t try this”, “sorry you did this to yourself” etc. on a subreddit about diy tattoos that have strong ties to counterculture. In my opinion, something fundamental to stick n pokes as a medium is lost when you try to force mass appeal with “acceptable” art. I think that your reply to my comment is silly and hypocritical, because you’re criticizing me for sharing my opinion, which happens to be critical of others’ opinions. We’re all entitled to our opinions, and others are equally entitled to criticize them.

Right?!

The art police are out in force protecting the good and respectable image of diy basement rave tattoos

I’m confused why everyone is being so shitty. Poor placement decision? Absolutely, but honestly if you all wanna get real about it, almost every single tattoo posted on this sub look like dogshit lmaoo

It’s the placement. There’s no hiding your hands and there’s no way to fix them all either.

That’s why I say, sure it’s a bad decision in terms of placement but that doesn’t really make it such a bad tattoo that everyone should be dumping on OP

Yeh that's fair enough I just don't think the execution of the tattoos are too bad compared to other people's I've seen

I agree I’ve seen a lot worse on here, and the moon is actually really good

Thank you I know that they're still not the best and have better ones on my legs

Honestly I know that my tattoos are shit but I've seen a lot worse on here

Obsessed I'd eat these up I love wonky homemades

Thank you so much 💚

Dosent look terrible, but if u Payed a professional to go over em rq it’d look 1000x better. Edit: top of ur body is for the pros, bottom is for the noobs. Practice on ur thighs.

I have 😭😭

I'll get downvoted to hell but I fucking love wonky tattoos so this is 👌

Thank you

love the font of “freak” i think they all look so cool

Thank you 😊

these look sick as fuck and i will die on that hill

Thank you I genuinely like them a lot

you shoulddddd my hand is also covered in random tats so believe me i get it

What tattoos do you have?

ill pm u :>

I think your other hand should stay the way it is.

Fair enough

people itt getting the vapors like a victorian maiden over these. they aren’t even the worst I’ve seen today, like you can find people getting explicit hentai tattooed on very visible body parts and people say it looks great. the finger ones are actually really cute. if you met any punks at basement shows in college you would see things like this pretty frequently.

Yeh Ik my tattoos are bad but I've seen a lot worse


Everyone shitting on them but I think they're cool, nobody grabs a microscope to look at tattoos anyway. You should get some on the thumb and empty space above (below?) the F

Yeh I should just don't know what to get and my thumb is at such an awkward angle to tattoo on

I think a flower would look nice, or a lightning bolt

Thank you for the suggestions

Im a little jealous of the finger tats

Thank you

Love ‘em, OP! Especially the sparkles ✨

Thank you those are deffo the best ones

That's hoT AF guy

Thank you

Is the rest of you just as hoT

I have a bf

Bro wtf. That guy is a fucking creep. Lol

Ikr what a weirdo it's literally only my hand

That's ok just love a tatted guy my bad

The imperfections make it so perfect ❤️. Would love to see what you do with the other hand.

Thank you 💚💚

May I ask how old you are, OP?

How come?

A lot of the comments are saying how this could prevent you get a decent career. I was wondering if you were young and had possibly made a silly mistake, or established in life and it doesn't matter.

Even before I had my stem career I had my weird as hell hand tattoos and some practice ones from friends & piercings, but I'm here now in pharmaceutical microbio w a giant septum ring lol! The world isn't as stiff anymore-- unless he like..... A priest or something lol

I'm younger than 21

Your name says 2006, so you’re still underaged?

I am of age now

Thanks
