How to Get Rid of a Stick and Poke Tattoo

What Is A Stick And Poke Tattoo?

A stick and poke tattoo is a traditional form of tattooing. It involves a single needle and ink that is hand-inserted into the skin. Some stick and poke tattoos are done by inserting a needle into the end of a wooden stick which is repeatedly tapped into the skin. Other forms of stick and poke tattoos are at-home DIY tattoos that are done at your friend’s party last year. It’s also a widely used method in the prison system. Inmates create their own tattoo ink (usually some burnt soot) and anything sharp they can find or file.

If you try to use at-home remedies, you’ll be wasting time and money on ineffective removal that may lead to serious side effects and skin damage. Some of the side effects of at-home tattoo removal methods are scarring, blistering, infections, and more.
