Not A Masterpiece...

Eyes bouncing back & forth as the haze grows stronger. The stars above me melting away, leaving a pitch black sky. Not soothing. Body becoming stretched out over this odd canvas. Feeling parts of me disappearing into nothing. Looking at the holes in my now misshapen body. Becoming a Dali painting.I cannot see the technique…⚡️

When you are referring to stick and poke tattoos, are you including traditional island cultures (Hawaiian, Polynesian, Japanese etc.? Because those are amazingly beautiful and meaningful. Or are you just talking about shitty, cliché, done-in-your-parents-basement stick and pokes?

Haha I’m just referring to those shitty done in your parent’s basement with a sewing needle and india ink type deal, not cultures who have been doing hand-poked tattoos for centuries (that’s a whole other ball game and imo a beautiful cultural tradition.)
