My first tattoo on skin (my own). Of course it had to be a witch's foot. Gonna watch how it heals and see how I did technique-wise.

Stuff to know:

Yes, I know it's too small to hold up long-term. I only need it to hold up for a couple weeks. I made it this small so it would be easily fixed if I messed it up.

Yes, I used a sterile needle and real tattoo ink.

No, I don't think there's anything wrong with DIY. It's my body and I feel sufficiently educated about the risks and necessary precautions. Not interested in anyone telling me I can't do stuff to my own body.
