As a tattoo artist familiar with modern sanitation guidelines, watching yall stick yourself with stuff you pulled from roadkill gave me a hernia. but as a punk, it was SICK good job
Laurenapolis I’d like to start off by saying that cat was absolutely adorable, but, yeah, I have to admit I had a brief moment of confusion/fear as well. lol
I have also taken quills from a roadkill porcupine, as well as skulls, bones, etc. Good to salvage what's already laying there as a free resource. You'll be ahead of others that think it's too gross or wouldn't even consider the uses of natural resources like that. We use domesticated animals for thousands of products and food, why wouldn't we do the same with wild animals just because we didn't hunt them ourselves?
If this guy gets lost climbing everest, historians 2000 years later will be super confused thinking tattoo styles never changed for 10,000 years or someshit
Given for instance shit posting being not new thing (painted dick pictures in roman walls) some things do not change much and we being in our era really confused about some things, this is very much possibility depending how much of information is preserved. Though we do have plastic data storage like cd's and hard drives(?) that could potentially last 2000years relative intact under right conditions, so historians 2000 years later can look into your porn folder...
to everyone worried they were about to tattoo the cat: he might already have a tattoo! sometimes vets will tattoo a green line on the tummy of house cats who are spayed/neutered. with feral and/or community cats they ear tip them, meaning they cut a itty bitty bit off the top of one of that's ears, so if they're ever caught again vets know they are fixed already. my cat penelope has a little green tattoo on her tum from her spay. i think it's kinda cute!
I don't know if this is done in America but where I live cats are usually tattooed with a number in their ear so they can be traced, you either get that or a chip, my cat once got lost for 10 days but thanks to the ear mark we got him back again even though he had made it all the way to the next city over.
@@hedgehog3180 Just depends. For a general catch and release program to maintain feral populations, they will often just do a single mark. I've not heard of anyone tattooing their cat for identification, though I've known one woman who would have numbers tattooed on strays in her area.
I wouldn't fault the Tattoo Artist for doing a bad job. It's a single needle Tattoo. Even Tribal Tattoo use multiple needles. If you go over the tattoo multiple times, in sections with a few rest day for the skin, it will start to look clean and much more define.
Bruh I saw people in highschool give themselves stick and pokes with a single sewing needle that looked significantly better than what that "professional" did Edit: I just got to the end and they never showed her face, and they censored her voice lol she knew people were gunna call out that horrible job
@@GlorifiedGremlin Are you really comparing a steel needle manufactured and sharpened in a factory, to a porcupine quill pulled off of roadkill? It's obvious which one will do a better job.
It’s funny how he calls himself an average person when the average person would never have the drive and determination to do half of the things he’s already done
@@angelwhispers2060 lol i did the same thing but not during quarantine. I had some..... problems with alcohol. I did one on my wrist which i seriously regret.
Today’s episode is sponsored by Inkbox, who makes realistic-looking temporary tattoos that last 1-2 weeks. Head to bit.ly/InkboxHTME to pick your own tattoo out of a huge catalog of designs from the world’s top tattoo artists.
@@RedCoyote I think OP might have been joking that the stigma over tattoos is starting to wear off, not implying that some light teasing is the same as that stigma.
when I was in sixth grade some of my classmates blew the ink of a pen in a water bottle cap and started making eachother tattoos with compass weirdly they didn't come off and didn't infect I was in shock
I got started doing tattoos with a sewing needle taped to a pen, using ballpoint pen ink. The tattoos kinda faded into a light blueish color even though the ink was black, but it didn't get infected, the lines didn't bleed into the skin and it's still looking pretty good. I guess my point is that as long as you have something pointy, a dark pigment and a sterile environment you can make pretty dope tattoos.
My first tattoo at 15 was with a porcupine quill, I went through 3 , it was interesting in the video how they mentioned how soft they are, it’s like a big cat whisker less like a rod
Depends on ink. If it was alcohol based, it could have disinfected tools by accident, though ink it self probably was not safest of possible options...
Just a note: after a fresh tattoo it does ooze a bit. It's part of healing. The extra ink comes out as well as a bit of blood and pus. Its only a problem if it's doing that after a day or two then its no longer normal and a sign of infection.
I'm always like "he looks like dry aged meat and I bet it tastes terrible." It makes me nauseous. 🤢 Whenever I think about Greek history I think about olive oil and oily salad.
That one you did on yourself is a little deep, thats called "trenching" when you are digging little trenches in your skin like that, you only need to go about 2mm in
I did a stick and poke tattoo on myself. I just couldn´t justify the material cost my local tattoo artist told me, because it was almost 3 times the cost of the needles and ink I bought online. I would understand the price if they charged the actual work more than the materials but they didn´t. So I did it myself and I love it.
It would be cool if you did some primitive building from the bronze age and to the iron age. Maybe make a small hut inside of your studio place where you do the show so that it can stay as like a historical thing.

Haha, the "don't do this at home" in the end seems so tagged on. Like "Oh, by the way, all that stuff we just did? Maybe don't do that." I suspect this video could put the idea to get a stone age tattoo in a lot of people's minds.
In 4th grade, a friend and I gave each other stick and pokes in our math class with the pointy end of a compass(the kind for drawing circles) and red pen. Luckily we didn't know what we were doing and it only lasted a couple weeks.
My advice, as someone who has about 1/3 their body tattooed, is to really think long and hard about what you want and to shop around for an artist that isn’t just a “yes-man” find an artist who will give you their honest opinion about your idea and offer solutions to potential issues they brought up.
Stick and poke tattoos really don’t hurt. I have two and the first one did hurt like hell but it was because my friend went way too deep at times (thankfully it didn’t cause a blowout). The second one was done myself and since I had control over it and could feel the pain it was easy and virtually painless, imagine trying to draw on your skin with a pencil a few times over and that’s basically the same amount of pain
Have you seen 3D Tattoos? Theyre not 3D as in "they appear 3D", they are elevated from the skin... Basically they do a tattoo but they make sure it gets "infected" and swollen and stays that way. Which is 30x more dangerous than simply getting a rustic tattoo
It's not forever. Your body's immune system has a difficult time breaking up and then removing closely clustered pockets of pigment(hence the tattooist saying of "Bold will hold") but from day one the body is trying it's best to remove the pigment from the body. This is why old tattoos look "blown out".
There are a bit of issues with how things were performed. First at 10:01 that quill is definitely not sterile, if anything it has been disinfected (but most likely not from from the quality of alcohol, and how the alcohol was distilled and treated). The quill should have been sterilized by using an autoclave, ora combination of heat and alcohol (probably an hour near boiling). It would have been a good idea to either ask the tattoo parlour or the tattoo artist who used the quill on how they sterilize their equipment. The choice of dye is a bit concerning because of the possibility of carcinogens. That soot hasn't been treated properly and there is probably a degree of incomplete combustion during the preperation.
i'm native american and we use porcupine quills for a lot of things, i keep a towel and a cardboard box in the truck in case i come across a dead one. toss the towel on it, poke it down a little with a stick, then toss the towel in the box. most of the quills will get stuck in the towel then you can take it home and carefully get them at the workbench.
Inkbox is actually so good! Better than the alternatives. Just don't put down too much pressure, lol. A spent $60 for five tattoos last time I did a music video.
I usually get tattoos of things that mean something to me. Like I tattooed my cat’s paw print on my right shoulder. She was the cat I grew up with and always was so cuddly and nice, she did a lot for my life. I also have a skull with a top hat because that’s now a tradition in my family that started with my grandpa who got me into the career path that I work and basically structured my entire skill set. And I have a heart with mom... because my mama
Andrew S he was going very slow and it looked like he was going REAL deep, when i handpoke i usually do faster pokes and angle in the direction of the line, not straight in
I have a smiley face stick and poke I did back in high school about 7 years ago... it was my favorite I got it “redone” with a tattoo gun about 5 years ago ...
Mostly just in fantasy, but sometimes I can make paper blow off the table by waving my arms wildly. Let go your earthly tether. Enter the void. Empty and become wind.
I remember a while back when you were making glass you used a limestone which probably was from the Magnolia member of the Platteville limestone which is the upper part of that limestone which overlies the saint peter sandstone. I am aware you had some problems with your glass and some of that may be due to that the magnolia member isnt a pure limestone but a dolomitic limestone which means it has incorporated magnesium. Also magnolia while it may look relatively pale it has quite a bit of iron which is why when it is cooked it turns red (sometimes). If you want a close and more pure source of limestone in southwestern MN there are cretaceous chalks which are exposed in a few places however a lot of glacial deposits are derived from this and the chalk can be picked out. Morris MN looks like it has a few deposits like this also Ortonville does too. You might also find some shark teeth at these sites too.
In the past, nukes have been used in wars to put a quick stop to them. Famously againt japan. Now we can't get level an entire city so instead we'll be nuking a local sushi place.
Is there a second Lauren with the same shirt? Because I feel like I'm going crazy, but aside from the hair, the tattoos on the arms are different, but the same ones are on the fingers?
@@ccortez392 that just means it wont behave the same as tattoo ink. ink is ink though, if it gets in the skin it'll stay. i have a dot on my hand right now so thats four people in here saying it happened to them
@@Zack16611 Things clearly doesn't happen in chronological order in this channel, she might be introduced on another project, but they could've at least quickly pointed who she is.
For this one you guys really should've gonne with traditional japanese tattoo with bamboo needles or the polynesian/ Tahiti traditional method that uses shark teeth, bones or shell for the hammer/percussion tool... alas, hard and expensive to find the pros to do it I guess. :P Key thing to understand about tattoos is this: you are not injecting any ink, you are opening holes in which ink will be drawn in by capillary action.
We initially were going to talk to an artist who had trained with traditional hand poke tattoo masters in Borneo and a few other places in Polynesia and eastern Asia, but unfortunately the interview fell through due to scheduling. It took a while to decide which method to do but we went with the porcupine quill because that method is local to a few Midwestern Native Tribes, we were lucky enough to find that porcupine (we were going to try and talk to a porcupine handler at the Minnesota Zoo before Daniel found it), and it makes for a really impressive story that we got tattoos with a porcupine quill. I didn't know that about the capillary action, thanks for that!
When I was younger my moms boyfriends friend was giving himself a tattoo and I thought it was supposed to happen and I realize now he was definitely bleeding way too much
Interesting. porcupine tattooing really did leave a mark. hmm. Good job Andy and Joey on taking the tattoos. I am sure something moved the world with that work. and that airbender symbol is a Celtic pattern, and the 3 lines is a tribal ceremony mark in various tribes for andy. Good job indeed.
Thank you! I had wanted an Avatar tattoo since I first the show but could never figure out what to get, and since we needed to keep it small for times sake I remembered the four elements symbols. I would definitely be an Airbender if I could, so it made perfect sense.
HTME: "Warning, few quick photos of a mummy from a comfortable distance" Also HTME: "Here's minutes of footage with close-ups of people getting needles... No warnings."
This proves that tattoos and alcohol go together since ancient times. As a side note, never have I ever been so conflicted about clicking the like button. On one hand, I love the educational and entertainment value. On the other, getting a tattoo for any superficial reason is not something I can agree with.
