Tattoo you …There’s a new TikTok trend you should probably avoid … DIY tattoos. Yep, people are using their time at home to give themselves stick-and-poke tattoos – which are tattoos done by hand-poking a needle dipped in ink into your skin. Even modelKaia Gerber(Cindy Crawford’s daughter) gave herself one. "I've been having some tattoo withdrawals because I get them pretty consistently; it's like a hobby at this point," Kaia wrote on Instagram recently. "I missed getting them, so I actually gave myself a little stick-and-poke."
No surprise ...professional tattoo artists say you should do not do them yourself. While the stick-and-poke technique is a real thing, the average person is not qualified or trained to do them safely. Aside from ending up with an ugly tattoo, you could give yourself a bad infection. And now is not the time to cause yourself an injury that lands you in the emergency room. (Cosmo)
