FREQUENTLY ASKED (VERY DOUCHELY) QUESTIONS
1. This kit is dumb. Fuck you!
Use your words. I canโt tell whatย your problem actually is.
2. Youโre probably selling to kids!
I work very hard to keep this kit away from those under 18. My payment does not allow funds from a person who is under 18. I market to only over 18 advertising on Google, Facebook, Instagram, etc. ย If I suspect someone is not 18, I cancel the order. Packaging is plain, there is no fun mascot and there is no candy. I really wanted to put candy, because I like candy and it would be cool to have like a Swedish fish in there, but I donโt want kids to want it for the candy and slyly steal parentโs credit cards and then bribe the mailman in order to get the candy in the kit. This kit, I readily admit, [โฆ]

- Blood Borne Pathogens: These are really small.
- ย Ideas: The suggestion to avoid designs and patterns from a culture different from your own (appropriation)

- How most of our stuff is made locally. Also from recyclable, vegan, compostable, stuff made in the USA. We pay a living wage to all our part-time Independent Contractor Kit Makers.
- Pro Tips. Did you know that putting ointment on while poking will help keep the area free of ink puddles? Yer welcome. ;-) <3
Booklet Excerpt:
Some History on Natural Tattoos
The word tattoo was brought to Europe [โฆ]
More needle types for complicated DIY tattoos
We hear that people want to try more needle types in order to createย a thicker line and do some other tricks. We are therefore phasing these into our EXPERT KIT. After your initial kit, you can get an Expert kit, which now contains three 7 Round Liners! That is seven little itty bitty needles mushed onto the needle shaft. These little ones hold ink and create a thicker line. (3 Round Liners are 3 little ones, 5 is five and so onโฆ) Enjoy!
Expertย Kit // $ 42.00-$63.00
- 9 needles ( 3 of each: 3RL & 5RL & 7RL)
- One to five 1/2 oz.(15 mL) professional tattoo inks (color ink above).
- 2 Packets natural aftercare balm โย Hustle Butterโข
- 2 Stencil paper squares & 2 packets StencilStuffโข (vegan)
- Mini glass ink jar &ย 2 ply poly-paper medical covering

Want a clear and clean tattoo? Stencil it.

Poking in 2007 – Throw Back Thursday
Weโve come so far! Out with the old, in with the newโฆ.
This article, โStick โnโ Pokeโย by Ben Cho in Vice is sweet & expresses the extra feels involved in home tattooing. I do not however recommend the materials nor method that they use espeshโ all the drug use. Regardless,ย tattoo result is quite nice โ and fine lettering is hard to do. I hope that future tattoos by Ben and Alexis can be done more safely.
