I made a stick and poke tattoo also to be called as Homemade tattoo, with a needle and pen ink. Well I sterilized needle by burning it and started poking with ink, it didn't exactly got out like it should be, I made 2 of them, one was fine but another was like a wound, I took care of it with semi-antibiotic cream and now it's healing and good, but skin have scars, so do I start making tattoo again? On it while it's pre-healed or do I wait for sometime? For info about stick and poke refer -> https://sticknpoke.com/Stick and Poke Tattoos - DIY tattoos - Homemade tattoos.

Hello, Tatoo needs sterile environment and the depth of ink must be standardized to make it long lasting. Self tatooing is neither safe nor effective. The scarring that is produced after infection is difficult to treat. Suggest you not to try yourself. Consult a dermatologist and have the wound examined.
