One: you possibly-may introduce pathogens (think STI’s, flesh eating bacteria). There are just a few issues with poking deep into one’s skin repeatedly (as you can imagine). I love them! The story doesn’t end there…. I now have 3 stick and pokes and 2 gun tattoos. Some cool new friends assured me that they have done it a ‘million times,’ and the evidence was all over them in the form of cute little symbols that meant something to them. I explored the stick and poke tattoo right after opening a ‘new chapter’ in my life two years ago (that may or may not have involved a break up followed by early-life crisis -P ). Wrap the needle with thread in order to hold the ink, and Presto! – a permanent memory maker. On the ‘outside,’ one can simply procure a sewing needle and some artist ink (India ink is quite common). Ink can be taken from a pen, or made from burned anything (carbon) mixed with a liquid. If one is hard up for these supplies, such as in a jail, the sharp object may be a paper clip, scraped along one of many cement walls to form more or less a point. Whatever the complex reason, the tools are pretty simple and easy to get ahold of: a sharp object and some dark black liquid. It’s also cool to have a best friend tattoo you (sometimes while intoxicated) in order to remember this crazy-awesome moment forever. Most recently, humans have been tattooing out of boredom, desire to adorn one’s body with something life affirming and significant. It could ward of evil for women during childbirth, signify a warrior and denote prestige in one’s tribe. Many ancient cultures used tattoo for decorative, protective and symbolic reasons.
