That one week my stick and poke actually healed clean
After about 15 tries over 2 years, I finally had a tattoo on my ankle not get infected or blow out. Used a 5RL needle, India ink from the art store, and sterilized everything with 91% alcohol. The lines stayed crisp and the redness went away in 3 days flat. Has anyone else had a random good week like that where everything just clicked?

Real tattoo ink isn't the same as india ink from the art store though. Different ingredients, different safety standards. Don't wanna mess around with something that's gonna be in your skin forever.
