If you don't have any experience, our exercise sets are just the right thing for you. It first familiarizes you with the materials and you can make your first tattoo attempts on the practice skin. The needles can also be used several times for this purpose. First and foremost, it's about getting a feel for the technology and the process in advance.
For this you should have internalized a few important points in advance:
- Always keep your workspace clean
- Wear gloves as you prepare
- Ensure good lighting conditions
- Always place all utensils on a clean surface. Use the enclosed black documents for this
- Attach them to a smooth surface with masking tape, for example
- Use the wooden spatula to pick up some Vaseline and then place it on the surface. Place the paint cap on the petroleum jelly to prevent it from tipping over as you work
- Shake the paint bottle well before pouring the paint into the paint cap
You can use the grip band to fix the needle to the wooden spatula. Use the tattoo pen to draw small, simple drawings on the practice skin (e.g. triangles, circles, lotus, etc.).
Dip the needle lightly into the paint and start to work over the lines with a few light stitches. In order to clean the exercise skin at the stung areas in between, it is best to use kitchen roll with a little water.
See how the needle fits your hand best. Make sure that your hands are always on the ground and that you have a secure grip.
Since the human body is not as straight as your work table, it is advisable later to attach the practice skin to objects with a curve such as a poster roll made of cardboard or similar.
Fruits such as oranges or bananas are also suitable for further practice. The results will probably not be great, but you will learn how to use your tool safely beforehand.
Please do not simply throw the used needles in the household waste, but make sure that they are packaged appropriately and cannot injure or infect anyone. Act responsibly and use special puncture-proof bins to dispose of your used needles. You can also find these in our online shop.
And now we wish you a lot of fun with your Stick and Poke - Set and hope that you enjoy it.
Best regards,
Your stick and poke team
