Stick & Poke Self Tattoo, Full Process ~Stardew Valley Edition~

(No music on this one, so you can keep playing your own jams if you're just tattooing along.) Hand poked tattooing is an ancient artform that is gaining popularity.

All of my tattoos are meaningful to me, and this one is in tribute to my m...

YOU FINALLY POSTED!!! I thought you forgot about us!!!! OMG SO HAPPY TO SEE UR BACK AND POSTING !!! Hope all is well mads love ya ❤️
nice, thanks for sharing :}
I hadn't watched your videos in a few years and today you popped in my mind, I'm glad I could find you again and I'm glad to see you tattooing and exploring other stuff! you also said a couple of things that resonated and it felt nice to hear! thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for being so open about your own mental health struggles. I have a history of that particular struggle and it didn’t even occur to me that that could be one of the reasons why it was so easy to do my (one and only) stick and poke until someone came at me saying that I was doing it as a form of that. I suppose causing yourself pain is alien to some people. But anyway, you mentioned that you want to make videos but you don’t want to do a tattoo. I love to see your non-tattoo vlogs and listen to you talk about books!! You don’t have to make only tattoo videos.
I love watching all of your videos :) your last stick and poke video brought me a lot of comfort<3 just did my second stick and poke (healing well>:) and can't wait to become a human coloring book
I use that stuff.works good i think👍
Thank you for the explanation of the needle types!!
Youre quite welcome, thank you for being here.
10:07 when I was giving my pup insulin shots, I learned I could put the used needles in CLEARLY MARKED water bottles and drop them off at any pharmacy to be processed through sanitation legally. Clearly marked means “biohazard” and “needles”. Also tape the lid before dropping off to ensure the bottle doesn’t open
This is super excellent advice, thank you so much!
9:04 when I was in art school, my color comp teacher’s main saying was “great artists steal” the only thing I remember from his jank ass class 😂😂😂
I totally attributed this quote to David Bowie (for some incorrect reason) and just checked that originally it was Picasso who said "Good artists borrow, great artists steal." Its an interesting mindset, I appreciate that idea. Thank you for your comment! Happy pirating!!
@@MadsMcKay yeah my art teacher clearly stole that from Bowie 😂
0:17 hahaha i think we soulmates 😂😂😂
Great content!! You’re my new favorite person to watch. I did want to ask, how often do you have to change out the needle when poking? Like is it okay to go a hour or so before replacing with a new one? I have always been into diy even though I have some tattoos done by a professional but nowadays we’re all learning so much from being quarantine a few yrs back. An plus I don’t have funds to just go get a tattoo everytime I want one so I’ll learn on my own and correct mistakes if I can along the way. Stick n Poke has become my new obsession. Tattoos & piercings but mainly tattoos is like therapy session for me. Hell I trust me doing my own piercings and they turned out just fine. My mentality is “I’ll try it so if it f’s me up, you won’t have to do it🤦🏾♀️”. But there’s always going to be someone that wants to try it so I like that you show the better way to do it and how sanitized you are too. Like what’s the worst that can happen and I know that sounds bad but I’m being honest & As a medical professional I probably shouldn’t say that but it’s best to be honest. If something goes wrong I’ll go to urgent care. So far everything has been fine and I am still here to tell my story☺️. Also, I love the way green looks on you it is one of my favorite colors. I hope to see more content of your work and your sense of humor is very appreciated🫶🏾💛. Sorry for the long comment but you seem laid back & kind and I like that about you.
Ahh thank you so much for your wonderful comment! I'm so happy to have you here, and the encouragement will definitely help me focus on my next projects. For needles, I've recently internalized that they are cheap enough, and if I buy a whole box, they're going to expire before I can go through all of them, so I encourage changing them as soon as they feel like they're dulling. That's gonna depend on the quality of needles, but I've noticed the first hour of poking goes a lot smoother, so that's probably a good rule of thumb! Having a half dozen ready to go makes things a lot more comfortable. Plus I don't have to worry about cleaning them out between breaks now. And you have inspired a new subject to talk about soon!! Yes, I have also invested in some professional tattoos for myself, and even though I could probably save up a little while and have someone else do all these tattoos for me, there is something different about tattooing yourself. It's very relaxing and very satisfying to do them for yourself. I think my personal logic is that I'll tattoo my legs and save my arms for professional tattoos. I'm not really satisfied by conventional 'self care' type activities, but this makes me feel self-love. I acknowledge my wants, put a lot of work and thought into myself, and I practice aftercare. I never really thought about it before, but you're right, this is a bit like personal therapy. And yeah, the sanitation aspect is sort of a paradox, isn't it? Like, on paper, this is a terrible idea and there are so many sanitary tattoo shops to get this done 'properly'. But at the same time, we all get cuts and scratches as we go throughout our lives, we don't treat every single one as a life-threatening injury. I think most people have a good sense of "Hey this looks infected, lets draw a line and see if the redness starts spreading towards my heart. If so, I'll go to urgent care." That thought process applies to any skin abrasion. Thank you so much for your kindness; you've made my day!! Happy poking!
@@MadsMcKay You’re very welcome love!!☺️ Thank you for your tips and advice. I most certainly will take into consideration. It’s so amazing to know I could inspire anyone I look forward to the subject once you get around to it.. I am tuned in already. Honestly, the fact you already have an idea of how you want your work to be is amazing to me because that lets me know it has been thought out and planned. I don’t have much leg work but I want a sleeve on one side..weird, right? I just have this thing that it’s certain art I want on one side of my body.. like I don’t like odd numbers much but I can embrace it if it happens. See! Yes I knew you would catch my drift lol..this is a therapy session for sure. I have this thing when I go into the shop to get inked I find myself breathing calmly and I fall asleep and seeing a trusted artist they’ll just leave you be but I never woke up to my work being jacked up. I’m not sure what to call this but it’s satisfying. You got me laughing..It’s the sense of humor that is making me smile. I am glad to make your day, you made mines by watching your videos I have to go back and watch the rest. Happy Poking!! SN:/ what ink you prefer for sensitive skin? I get irritated easily and I hate it😩. I hear ppl say vegan ink but I want to make sure I get the brands you would use.
@@SummerK799 <3 I think Kuro Sumi might be the best ink for sensitive skin, but I've switched to Dynamic because it holds its pigment more. I'm not sure but I think I'm going to avoid colorful inks in the future, cause who knows what is in most of those.. Also I totally love the asymmetrical look of one tattooed side! I think it's rad.
Thank you for the comprehensive creative process, and thank you so much for being vulnerable and giving your testimony about self-harm. This makes your video helpful in ways we may not even fathom.
I appreciate your kind words. I'm glad youre here.
Thank you for your videos and for who you are! I always enjoy watching your content so so much 1 because I am also doing Stick and Pokes and 2 I reeaaally love your vibe 💚 Also thank you so much for talking about mental health. May I ask what the name of the book is you are referring to in your video? About feeling trauma etc. in your body and pushing it out?
You're so kind, thank you so very much. And I appreciate you asking, I've spent more than a decade in therapy, which never benefited me in the long term at all. I didn't get diagnosed with C-PTSD until my late 20's, and even then it's difficult to find a professional to help that doesn't cost $600 bucks an hour out-of-pocket, therefore I'm being my own therapist now. I will be totally straightforward, the Processing-Trauma-Out-Of-Your-Body is one that you should ~probably~ have a professional Somatic / somatotherapy instructor for, as the practice involves triggering yourself intentionally. That's... really not possible for the vast majority of us, though. The parallel therapy I would suggest is called Internal Family Systems therapy, and that's safer to do alone. There are subreddits for IFS that are extremely useful. Some somatic-type tools are things like, "Having a panic attack? Locate what you're feeling + where. Take your shoes off, and rub your socked-feet on carpet, generating heat. Push all that tension down into the earth, away from your body." whereas IFS is separating out the internal parts of your inner-monolog and identifying their purpose in your life. I massively struggle with deep-seeded shame and this is literally the ONLY thing that has ever allowed me to feel any degree of self-compassion. It's difficult (and sounds crazy on paper; a lot of people name their parts and speak directly to them) but that's my #1 suggestion. Now, when it comes to books, I like to use the Libby library app, but there is typically a long wait for these books. Most of the time I order used books of AbeBooks, but books of this nature are often cheaper buying new, honestly. I started out reading a non-therapy related book *(Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain by David Eagleman) which gave me a different framework for how the mind functions. We are not a top-down system, the consciousness is NOT in charge. Also, we think of our brains like computer programs, which are constantly trying to optimize things, but a computer will stop optimizing; the mind never does. For therapy books, the biggest one is *(Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents by Lindsay C. Gibson) Highly suggest this book for EVERYONE who cares about self improvement. It's half-filled with example stories which is good because its an intense read. I'm currently taking notes on *(Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving by Pete Walker) which is also one I have to pace myself through. Through Reddit, I've found suggestions for *(No Bad Parts by Richard C. Schwartz) which is specifcally about the Internal Family Systems Model. Also, *(The Body Keeps Score by Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D.) and *(The Tao of Fully Feeling, also by Pete Walker) about living with PSTD. Those last two are on my reading list but I haven't started them yet, I need to take a mental break in between these by reading some science fiction escapism. Apologies for the huge wall of text!! When looking up self-help books, be sure to check the qualifications of the author before incorporating their practices into your life. Best of luck to you!
@MadsMcKay Omg thank you so much for your wall of text 💚 getting into good therapy and improving mental health is so god dammed difficult (and scary 👀) that I am super happy about every person sharing their experience! I think those struggling can benefit alot from that 💚 The first book you recommend sounds super interesting, and also the "The Tao of Fully Feeling". I am always super happy about book recommendation, so I'll most likely give them a try 😊 I wish you all the best on your mental health journey and stay strong 💪
hahaha i love ur humor throughout this
That's very kind of you, thank you so much for checking this out and subscribing!
I've been tattooing myself for over a year now, your videos have encouraged me a bit and thanks to them I haven't made a few mistakes that I could have made. Thank u :3
Thank you so much for checking this project out. There are the silliest mistakes to be made it tattooing... Because I film with time lapse settings on, I couldn't catch it on video, but I had one scary misspoke when I was pulling my calf up- (my glove was too slippery from Hustle Butter and I 'dropped' my leg as I poked. Totally poked outside the tattoo, but it's okay, no one knows where it is but me.) Mistakes happen! As long as we're safe, it's all good. This IS art, anyways.
i'm with you on loving stardew valley! i just checked steam and i've played 3848.5 hours of it😅 really love the placement of your evangelion tattoo!
That is impressive! I'm curious if you have a half-dozen Stardew Valley playthroughs like I do, or if you've just dedicated yourself to one farm through all that time. I still haven't unlocked a lot of Ginger island, I can't believe how much there is to do in this game. Thank you for your kind words!
@@MadsMcKay i have like 10 saves! i'm a completionist at heart, so i completed all the steam achievements, got 1 of my farms to 100% perfection, and then got a 2nd farm to 100% perfection after the latest update added a bunch more stuff! so that accounts for like 1000 or so hours lol. definitely a game i don't really get bored of bc there's so much, like you said!
Your videos are so comforting for me thank u
I'm so glad! Thank you for your kind comment, I hope you're having a wonderful week.
I wanted to ask what you thought about the tattooing kit from Amazon? Is it decent for someone beginning? I know you still need to buy all the cleaning supplies still. Or is it better to just buy everything like how you have listed in your other video on supplies to buy before starting?
Hi I'm super late to replying to this, my apologies. A lot of tattoo supplies are gonna be kinda sketchy. Honestly I might trust a small company on Etsy that makes a handpoke kit before I would order anything off Amazon. I just saw an article today about inks from amazon having bacteria in them, which is scary. I want to tell you to order a small batch directly from a tattoo supplier, but a lot of those aren't publicly accessible. I use worldwidetattoo .com personally, but even their products aren't perfect.
I have a question what is in the clear bottles?
What are passes? Like how many times you go over the same line?
The cat is the most important part lol.
i did my first stick and poke trial on myself with great results, thanks to watching your videos and others. thank you!
I would highlt recomend only using ink from known brands And reputabler sellers, (sp?) you never know that cemicals they use in the ”china” inks from wish, shein, or amazon ect. Some use toxic heavy-metals and the ink you use in a tattoo is suposed to stay inside you, so I would say it is the most important part of the whole tattoo not to skimp out on!
I don't know if you'll see this, but thank you for giving us all a lovely series of videos on stick and pokes! I 100% just spent 3 1/2 hours this morning tattooing myself with your videos in the background. Felt like I had a cool, badass friend doing it with me. Hope you're still keeping it up! Your artwork and the tattoos you've done are insanely cool! Keep kicking ass! 👏🩷
You are supposed to use the thicker paper, the middle one is to protect it from the stencil ink getting all over it. Also, cut slices into outside areas of your stencil paper so it wraps around easier 😉
Thanks for the tip! You are totally right.
Another great video! Those gardens and museums are beautiful!
Glad you enjoyed this one!!
Great job on the camerawork! Some vlogs make me nauseated but for this it was so nice and steady ❤
That's very kind of you. The camera used is pretty good on panning shots, but I would love to upgrade to the DJI osmo 3 because it's got great low light as well. Thanks for checking out the video and for your kind comment.
🎉🎉 snagged the first comment. Beautiful video, lots of great info especially on sumo (Toshi! Toshi!). Can't wait for part 2!
Thank you for being here (and there, lol).
Yours is the best I’ve watched so far. I’m about to do my first actual tattoo that I’ve done myself to start my patchwork leg sleeve. My last stick snd poke was done at 14 with pen ink and a piercing needle. Surprisingly it turned out well but I’d like to do this one a little bit more sanitary because it’s going to be LARGE
Thanks so much! Can I ask how well the pen ink held up over the years? Best of luck with your future work!!
What do you do to wipe off the extra ink mid tattoo?
Hello, if I'm understanding your question, most artists dab (with a bit of dry paper towel) the ink as they go. I personally have a habit of soaking a paper towel in Green Soap solution and using that to wipe, since the ink dries. Highly recommend getting in the habit of dabbing as you go!
@@MadsMcKay perfect thank you!
love how real you are. Thanks for the education :)
Yo, thank you for stopping by!
i know this is a few years late, but kleenex makes hand towels that are extremely soft, i think they would work great!
Ahh I'm still pokin', so I'll check those out! Thank you so much!!
hahahaha they all look horrendous. get a traditional tattoo and experience some actual discomfort. these tattoos are for people that want the look of tattoos but can’t take pain whatsoever 🤣 holy yiiiikes
Hey! Im a tattoo artist :) I actually loved your video! Some tips to throw out, with a stencil placement, try be in a natural standing position, just so the tattoo is placed best and the stencil wont be warped in any way. Also, you can just use isopropyl alcohol in a little spray bottle or the stencil stuff itself to remove a stencil. You did so great though! You were super clean and did great preparation. Youre definitely on the right track.
Thank you so much, that's helpful. I appreciate you taking time to check out my process.
Where did you get your purple art box thing?
Ah- it's a cosmetics box I got on etsy from a vintage shop. Any tacklebox will do. Eggplant purple is my favorite color, though, so i got this one. Not sure how common they are...
Just gotta roll with the punches yo 😂
Thank you so much. I started tattoing myself, and felt a pressure, like, a tattoo every 2 weeks. It was stressing me out. So, i am more relaxed, and my last tattoo is about 1 month old. So, i will do the next one eventually tomorrow. My tattoos are for me, they are not perfect, i cannot draw really good, but i have a study hand. I love the journey. And just and only handpoke.
Yay, I'm glad to meet someone is in the same boat. I hope your pokes are fun! Thank you for your support.
I actually like how the red tattoo faded, it's like the line slowly turns into dots. It looks intentional!
Hey thank you! Thats very kind of you to say. Gotta embrace the fade 😎
i relate to you as an artist, youre too real.
Dude thank you so much, I appreciate it a lot.
I got a rotary machine.It's too much responsibility is why.plus i enjoy it.i enjoy giving myself,friends and family tattoos.once it becomes a job it's no longer fun.thanks for being a beacon of inspiration when i started
Your comment made my day, thank you so much! It's fantastic you can share your craft with those you care about most. :)
This is a SO much needed video... Thanks you again for your content ! I relate so much to your experience with art and deadline, forcing yourself to do the things but it doesn't fulfill your artistic needs... it's so important to remember to take time and experiment in those time when everything need to be done and perfect instantly :(
Thank you for your super kind comment!! I wish it was easier to be creative. My big regret is getting excited about a project and sharing it too quickly without giving myself time to enjoy it first.
"Just make stuff" 🙂
That's how I started I did stick in pock but now I got tattoo gun machine work now but stick in pock just takes longer than gun machine work
That's awesome! I think I wanna hold out for a possible apprentiship before I take machine tattooing seriously. More than anything, I'm concerned about machine maintenance. Thanks for stopping by!
Heyyy …i do handpoke tattoos too✌🏻
Hell yeah, brother! \m/
Do you have instagram?
Witch hazel? Why do u put which hazel in the ink isn't that bad?
Witch hazel is great for taking the sting out of tattooing and minimizing swelling. It's also not soapy like green stuff- where I live there are lots of minerals in the tap water, so it's safer for me to use pre packaged liquids like distilled water or witch hazel.
How many hours in should the needle change ? Like can one needle last a whole hour?
Depends on the quality of needles- most good ones should last but I sadly invested in some lower quality needles. Honestly, if I accidentally poke the bottom of my ink cup with my needle, I then consider replacing it.
glad ur back to tattooing , is there a reason ur not using ur machine or it it just because you are more comfortable with snp ?
Thanks for the question! I'm definitely feeling more confident with pokes over a machine. Plus, it's relaxing to do!
I got my first kit and it has nothing but 12 RS needles. I'm not having much luck with clean lines obviously. What would you recommend?
I don't mind doing linework with shaders honestly, they're just a bit thicker. As long as you stretch the skin as much as possible, you should be able to get decent lines with a small shader! Sometimes the issue is the quality of needle, unfortunately.
@@MadsMcKayWHERES THE NEW VIDEOS?!? The new tattoos?!?? We miss u! Where did u disappeared to !
I waited for a new Video for sooooo long. You are my main inspiration to tattoo myself. Everything you say is just so honest. So, yeah, now i am addicted to it. So, thanks for a new Video! 🥰
You're so kind, thank you for your support ❤️
as a massive NGE fan I think your version is definitely recognizable/translates really well! your haircut is really cool btw. i remember when you first did your heffabee tattoo, you seemed so nervous at the time! really cool to watch you grow more confident and comfortable with tattooing :) thank you for documenting and sharing your progress!
That is so kind of you, I really appreciate it. I put a Pen² sticker on my car around the time I dyed the hair purple, lol.
