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!

    You are not alone if you have had your bitcoins taken from your wallet or if you invested in an initial coin offering (ICO) that was a scam. I experienced the same thing. I first lost $173,000 to a fraudulent investment scam company in less than five months. I was able to get all of my money in five days thanks to a hacker my friend recommended. In order to raise awareness about these cryptocurrency criminals and do my part to minimize the number of victims, I’m speaking out. To report a victim, simply send an email to Wizardjamesrecovery@usa.com.

    A virus attack was used to destroy $92,450 worth of my cryptocurrency. In between my binance, I was trading coins when I lost $92,450. I couldn’t understand how that could have occurred to me, so I was perplexed. When a tech guy from my company called Wizard James Recovery, a Cyber Security Hacking Personal Service, a few days later, he discovered that a malevolent scammer named MEV had taken my cryptocurrency out of my wallet. James had to come in right away and track down the transaction. Due to the bot’s actions, I lost nearly all of my money and had $92,450 stolen. Luckily for me, James used his advanced technologies and unique methods to effectively track down and retrieve this transaction without any delays. Thank you Wizard James for helping me recover so well; without him, I could have died. Please contact him using the following link if you were duped; he will undoubtedly make you happy again.

    If you need to recover cryptocurrency that has been lost to wallet hackers, internet scammers, or BTC transferred to the wrong address, I suggest Wizard James Recovery, a very trustworthy recovery organization. Just by sending my case to the Expert and supplying the necessary data, Wizard James Recovery was able to help me recover my Bitcoin. I’m glad I was able to recover this much after losing even more to the fraudulent broker I initially put my belief in. Errors are unavoidable, thus we can never be careful enough. If you have lost money to cryptocurrency scams, I strongly advise getting in touch with Wizard James Recovery.

    Losing nearly 500,000 USDT to hackers was one of the most devastating experience of my life. I felt powerless as my hard-earned assets vanished into anonymous blockchain transactions until I found Agent Jasmine Lopez. Her deep expertise, tireless effort, and unwavering focus gave me hope and delivered results. She traced complex transactions, pursued every lead, and recovered a large portion of my stolen funds something I never thought possible.
    If you’ve lost digital assets, don’t give up. Contact her at recoveryfundprovider@gmail. com Whats//App at +44 736-644-5035}. She turned my nightmare into a recovery story, and she could do the same for you.

    SUCCESSFUL SCAM RECOVERY
    I’m Allen Maxwell, a retired teacher from Texas. I spent over 30years in the classroom, most of them at Oak Ridge Elementary School in Houston. I’ve always tried to be financially prudent budgeting carefully, saving consistently, and planning for a modest but comfortable retirement. A few months into retirement, I came across a cloud mining investment platform online. it promised 20percent monthly returns. The website looked legitimate, packed with technical details and glowing testimonials. I did some checking and even spoke to a so-called “account manager.” Everything seemed professional, I thought maybe this is a chance to make my savings stretch a little further. I decided to invest $25,000. For the first three months, the returns came as promised, on time every month, I felt confident. Then, without warning, the website disappeared, the emails stopped. The phone numbers were dead, that’s when reality hit, I have been scammed. At first, I was overwhelmed with embarrassment and regret. I didn’t know where to turn until I stumbled across Cyber Hacking Platform during an online search. I hesitated, could I really trust another online service? But something about their approach felt different measured, honest and transparent. From the very first call, Cyber Hacking Platform treated me with respect and care. They explained their process clearly and made no unrealistic promises. Their team launched a full investigation into the scam, what they uncovered was sobering, the platform was a classic Ponzi scheme. There was no mining, just a cycle of using new investors money to pay old ones. Their investigators traced my stolen funds through the blockchain, tracking them across digital wallets and exchanges. Eventually, they located a significant portion in a Tether reserve based in Seychelles. With relentless effort and negotiation, Cyber Hacking Platform secured a substantial recovery. I got back $20,00. Not quite everything I lost, but it was more than I ever expected to see again, It felt like a second chance. Cyber Hacking Platform gave me more than money, they gave me closure, confidence and the sense that someone was on my side. If you have been scammed, don’t suffer in silence, turn to Cyber Hacking Platform who knows how to fight back, you can reach out to them through their company email address I will provide below for assistance;

    Most customers are unaware that they can get back the money they lost to scam brokers since they were either misled by recovery experts or were not told about it. I was fortunate enough to meet one of the few individuals that can actually pull this off. If you require assistance with this, I recommend contacting wizardjamesrecovery@usa.com via email. Since I visited their office, they are completely legitimate.

    HOW I RECOVER MY LOST FUNDS AFTER INVESTING

    Exercise extreme caution when dealing with this company. They scammed me $800,000 out of my money and even gained unauthorized access to my banking information, which severely impacted my financial well-being. I had initially approached them with the hope of improving my life through investment, but instead, I was deceived. This company should be thoroughly investigated and shut down to prevent further harm. Fortunately, I was able to recover my funds thanks to Mrs. Rose. Although I was initially hesitant and unsure about contacting her, I decided to take the risk and I’m so glad I did. You can reach her via telegram (RoseCyberHives) and email rosecryptorecoverygmail. com
    With the help of her skilled team of cybersecurity professionals and cryptocurrency experts, I was able to recover my lost funds quickly and with minimal stress, a sharp contrast to my previous experience. If you’ve been scammed or are in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to her for assistance. via telegram (RoseCyberHives) rosecryptorecoverygmail. com

  • Vidia Laxmi: August 11, 2025

    Hello everyone I know this is not the topic to be discussing here but with what I Have been through and my bad experience, I want everyone be careful and stop being deceived by all these brokers and account managers, they scammed me over $900,000 of my investment capital, they kept on requesting for extra funds before a withdrawal request can be accepted and processed, in the end, I lost all my money. All efforts to reach out to their customer support desk had declined, I found it very hard to move on. God so kind I followed a broadcast on how scammed victims can recover their fund, I contacted them and provided the neccesary requirement, I got feedback after some hours and I was asked to provide all legal details concerning my investment, I did exactly what they instructed me to do without delay, to my greatest surprise I was able to recover my money back including my profit which my capital generated. I said I will not hold this to myself but share it to the public so that all scammed victims can get their funds back.

    I invested $86,000 worth of USDT into a stock market trading app, believing it to be a legitimate opportunity for me to make profit. It wasn’t until later that I discovered it was a Ponzi scheme. As a full-time investor, I was devastated by the loss and felt immense regret for trusting the marketing admin with my hard earned money. While grappling with the aftermath, I came across Reviews of jamesmckaywizard on GOOGLE while i was looking for ways to recover my stolen funds back. After researching, I found them to be a genuine and trustworthy crypto recovery team. I reached out to them, and they promptly guided me through the entire process via their email. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, my USDT was fully recovered. I highly recommend their Service to anyone seeking assistance in recovering their crypto or money lost to anyone online due to false pretense or whatsoever via Email: jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or what ’Sapp +31- 65-74-46-24-8.

  • Maria Grace: August 11, 2025

    I almost lost my life after falling victim to a scam that went on for weeks, I got contacted by a lady pretending to be a Forex trader, she told me that I’ll make huge profits if I invest on her platform not knowing that I was being targeted, I started making investments through bitcoins until it was time to withdraw and they insisted I had to pay 20% to withdraw my money and it was then I knew I was being swindled. Unfortunately, I had already put $90,000 into this investment scam. While I was wallowing in depression, I came across an article about Mr. JAMEMESMCKAYWIZARD. Whom i contacted that helped me recover my money, I didn’t hesitate to give him the neccesary details he took some information from me and to my surprise, all my money was recovered within 48 hours. I’m truly grateful to him and his team for their professionalism in helping me recover my money. If you have lost money to any of these scams, I’ll recommend them to you.
