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!

    Crypto Recovery Review: Consult METATECH RECOVERY PRO to Retrieve Lost Asset.

    In just three days, this fraudster wiped out my Ethereum—$81,000 gone in seconds. It began harmlessly: a DM from a self-styled “crypto trading expert” in an investment chat. His profile looked legit, full of screenshots showing unbelievable gains and raving testimonials. He pitched a guaranteed 60% return in 7 days. I was suspicious at first, but his confidence rubbed off. He used technical jargon, name-checked bogus trading platforms, and even sent a forged contract that seemed real. Against my better judgment, I moved my Ethereum into his wallet. For three nerve-wracking days, I kept refreshing my balance, waiting for the promised profit. Instead, I got radio silence, then demands. First came a “blockchain verification fee,” then a “liquidity tax” supposedly needed to release my funds. Each time, he pressured me: “Pay now, or your investment is frozen forever.” Fear clouded my thinking, and I sent more money, sinking deeper into the trap. By the time I understood it was all a lie, the scammer had disappeared with my life savings. I felt devastated and ashamed, and didn’t tell anyone for weeks. When I finally told a friend, he urged me to contact Certified Recovery Services, a firm that handles crypto fraud. I reached out and they answered right away. The team traced my stolen Ethereum through multiple wallets, followed the scammer’s trail, coordinated with exchanges to freeze the assets, and used legal channels to recover every cent. Within weeks, my money was back in my wallet. If you’re scammed, act fast—immediate action gives you the best shot at recovery. Thanks to METATECH RECOVERY PRO, I didn’t just get my funds back; I got my peace of mind. If you’ve been targeted, don’t stay quiet—contact METATECH RECOVERY PRO via.

    I never imagined I’d fall for a crypto romance scam but it happened. Over the course of a few months, I sent nearly $184,000 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 a crypto recovery agent. 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.

    My husband just woke up and decided our marriage was over. For a few months now, Mark and i have not been going well because he was having an affair with his assistant at work. I loved my husband so much and decided to stay and work on our marriage. In a short time, Mark stopped coming home and his close friend told me he has another apartment where he live with her. I was hurt and went on seeking for help because Mark was different from the man i married 10 years ago. Luckily, i found Dr OGBO who promised to return my husband back to me. He performed a reconciliation spell and he returned back and now we are both happy again with our boys. If you have issues like mine, send Dr OGBO Email psychicogboreading@gmail.com or contact him on Whatsapp +2349057657558

    I have been suffering from a deadly disease (Hsv) for the past 2 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how Dr Jude helped someone in curing his (Hsv) herpes disease, quickly I copied his email which is doctorjude01@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on doctorjude01@gmail.com visit his website https://drjudecurehome.site Or WhatsApp him via +2347058053587

    Not long ago, I hired a programmer to recover crypto assets, and the outcome exceeded my expectations. I gained deeper insight into the technology and cybersecurity realm and learned that with the right developer, almost any problem can be solved. I feel obliged to share a trustworthy programmer with anyone who has fallen prey to a Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency fraud. When I attempted to withdraw the $157,000 I had invested with an investment firm, I encountered numerous issues and was unable to retrieve my funds, despite assistance from purported Bitcoin miners. Since all my deposits were made using various cryptocurrencies that are difficult to trace, I continued to pursue recovery. Fortunately, with the assistance of Dune Nectar Web Expert, I was able to recover my funds. I commend the Dune Nectar team for their skill and professionalism. If you ever need a programmer’s help, contact “Support @dunenectaronlineexpert. com” or visit their site: https://dunenectaronlineexpert.com/

    I invested with a Crypto broker without proper research to know what I was hoarding my hard-earned money into, only to find out it was a hoax and sham. I invested over $180,000 USD estimated to be 6.3 BTC. I was unable to make any withdrawals out of my initial deposits let alone the gains he claimed I have earned even after meeting the bogus fees and charges he is always requesting. Fortunately, I got to know about Recovery Hacker101 Bitcoin recovery programmers through research and positive reviews on Google. After a couple of hours consulting with them, all my funds were recovered including my profits. I can’t thank these guys enough for making me not another prey to these scammers. Thank you RECOVERYHACKER101.
