1500+ 5 STAR REVIEWS - SERVING THE STICK AND POKE TATTOO COMMUNITY SINCE 2016

Artist Interview - batu_madz

This week we interviewed a self-taught stick and poke artist whose connections to others, both clients and other artists, drives his passion for his artform.

 

Who are you and where are you based?

My name is Saul, AKA Batu Madz. I’m a 30 year old artist based in Madrid, Spain.

 

How long have you been a stick and poke artist for and how did you learn?

It’s been almost 4 years since I’ve started officially to poke some skins. I’ve always been a self-taught artist, so when I got confident enough, after practising on fake skin, I’ve started poking my own skin, and some friends and family I could convince.

 

What is it that draws you to stick and poke tattoos?

I have been drawing since I can remember, and dotwork became my favourite technique as it helped my mind to disconnect from everyday routine, focusing on every single dot I could draw. I loved tattoos since I got my first ones when I was 18 years old, but it wasn`t until I discovered hand poke I felt confident to try and poke. Since then, I started my career as a stick and poke self-taught artist. I believe that my passion for dotwork helped me to develop my own style I use nowadays to create and develop my hand poke tattoos.

 

What would be your top tip for perfecting poke technique?

I think the best tips for perfecting your technique is to practice, get to know other artists and share knowledge with them, learn tricks and tips, and ask any doubt you might get to on your path.

 

Tell us about your favourite hand poked story.

I think every time I get to poke a skin it turns into a single and unique story, and it’s amazing to find how small the world is and to realize how close you are to a complete unknown person, just by a simple conversation, you get to discover how many things and people in common you have. That for me is wonderful.

 

What advice would you give to someone who’s starting out as a stick and poke artist?

Poke, poke poke. Practice makes perfect. No one is born knowing. Also watching and asking another talented artist it’s very important. And always try to move on and leave your comfy and safe space and try new things!

 

Lastly, where can people find you?

I’m currently poking in Madrid, at “what a week!” studio, but often I move to other cities as Valencia, Bilbao, Barcelona, and soon I will plan a European tour, and hopefully a north and south America tour!

    I never imagined I’d fall for a crypto romance scam but it happened. Over the course of a few months, I sent nearly $150,000 worth of Bitcoin to someone I genuinely believed I was building a future with. When they disappeared without a trace, I was left heartbroken, humiliated, and financially devastated.
    For a long time, I didn’t tell anyone. I felt ashamed. But eventually, while searching for answers, I came across a Reddit thread that mentioned Agent Jasmine Lopez. I reached out, not expecting much. To my surprise, she treated me with kindness, not judgment. She used advanced tools like blockchain forensics, IP tracing, and smart contract analysis and with persistence and legal support, she was able to recover nearly 85% of what I lost. I know not everyone gets that kind of outcome, but thanks to recoveryfundprovider@gmail.com WhatsApp at +44 736-644-5035, I’ve started to reclaim not just my assets, but my confidence and peace of mind. If you’re going through something similar, you’re not alone and there is hope.

    Personal growth is important for achieving success in life. All these words were shared with me by Meduza, who performed a spell reading for me and created a lottery spell that turned me into a lottery champion of $112 million here in Arizona. Within 48 hours of adhering to all of Meduza’s divine instructions, he granted me the chance to use the divine lottery numbers to enter the lottery after I bought my ticket in Tempe. A week later, I was informed that I had become the fortunate Jackpot winner of the game, and this was all made possible by Meduza. I want to kindly express my gratitude to him for his impactful words and actions. For a transformative opportunity in your life, contact Meduza via his

    If someone had told me a year ago that I’d lose over a quarter of a million dollars to an online scam, I would’ve laughed it off. But that’s exactly what happened. It started with what seemed like a legitimate crypto trading platform, sleek website, active Telegram group, and even customer support. I invested gradually, watching my dashboard show unreal profits. When my balance hit around $251,000, I decided to withdraw some funds. That’s when the nightmare began. Suddenly, I couldn’t withdraw. The support agent said I needed to pay extra fees to verify my account. I paid twice. Then they vanished. My wallet was frozen, the site went offline, and the people I’d been chatting with blocked me. I realized I had been scammed. For weeks, I felt sick. I contacted my bank, my local authorities but crypto transactions are almost impossible to trace once they’re on the blockchain. That’s when a friend recommended Dexdert Net Recovery. I was skeptical at first. But Dexdert’s team was different. They were transparent, professional, and explained every step. They analyzed my transaction hashes, tracked the scammers’ wallets, and used blockchain forensics to identify exchanges where the stolen Bitcoin had been moved. After several weeks of investigation and coordination with law enforcement and exchange compliance teams, Dexdert Net Recovery successfully recovered my Bitcoin all $251,000 worth of it. Seeing that transaction hit my wallet again was unreal. I actually cried. Now, I share my story because I know there are thousands of people like me who feel hopeless after being scammed online. Dexdert Net Recovery gave me back not just my money, but my peace of mind. If you’ve fallen victim to a crypto scam, don’t suffer in silence. Reach out, report it, and get professionals like Dexdert Net Recovery involved.
