yes idk my best friend did one for me and now I have a little flower on my body that she made for me and that is v nice. tips are have someone who knows what they’re doing do it and idk nothing else, it’s fine. it’s not a big deal.

PLEASD DONT GET STICK AND POKES DONE

no matter how much you THINK you’re cleaning the needle and how much you THINK your friend “knows what they’re doing” If you are getting a tattoo done outside of a parlor you run a really really high risk of infection! Please don’t fucking lose a limb because you want “a little flower” on your body!

your friends do not have an autoclave, your friends so not have years as an apprentice to learn to tattoo safely.

PLEASE DONT DO THIS.

girl-sweat you usually give good advice but PLEASE do not encourage people to get stick and pokes you don’t know enough on the matter and it’s really bad that you’re telling people it’s not a big deal when so many people are getting really sick and losing limbs because of this!!!! You’re a role model for a lot of people and they’re going to be looking up to you and I don’t want anyone getting hurt because they listened to what you said.
