My "LOSER" self hand poked tattoo

 Something like 2 weeks ago, I thought it'd be fun to try to tattoo myself. At first, I was thinking of using caligraphy ink, but I quickly realized from online searches that it wasn't safe to just use any ink, and it turned out that my caligraphy ink didn't have the ingredients written on it. So, I got myself some black tattoo ink online. 

Then, using tutorials online, I made myself a handpoking tool. If someone reading this decides to handpoke themselves, please look a little bit into it before starting, and be safe.

I didn't really know what to do first, so I did two st☆rs which turned out okay, but are not well filled.

At some point, I then decided on "LOSER" for my left wrist. Because that's what I've been feeling like most of the time for 4 years or less. And because that's what I am to society. I'm not useful for the government and the capitalist world, because I don't work, I almost don't do anything. I'm not a viable source of money for them. And that last part, I really like.

Anyway, so I wrote the word on my wrist, and started poking, and everytime there was too much ink on my wrist to see the letters lines, I cleaned it up. Oh, and I didn't have rubbing alcohol at the time, so I used hand alcohol gel, which hurt kind of a lot when I rubbed the recently poked skin with it, so if you wanna handpoke, I'd recommend getting rubbing alcohol.

I went over the letters over and over again for a pretty long time, at least 1 hour. I think I did it again later the same day, and I might have even done it again the next day. Since then, I haven't went over it again yet, to let the skin heal and see what quantity of ink would remain. Right now, it seems to be fully healed, and most of the letters are half erased, which I don't mind that much, but I plan to go over them again some time.

This is a picture I took of my tattoo 40 minutes ago, and as you can probably see, it's still pretty visible, and most importantly readable, although some parts disappeared quite a lot. 

Anyway, if you decide to do a handpoke tattoo, be sure to do some research beforehand, and to disinfect everything. Your skin, your tools, and your environment.
