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!

    When I realized I’d been scammed out of my Bitcoin, I felt like the floor had dropped out from under me. I assumed those assets were gone forever because of how blockchain works. However, after doing some digging, I found The Wizard James Recovery Company, and they completely turned my situation around.From the moment I reached out, the team was incredibly professional. They didn’t just give me vague promises; they walked me through the actual blockchain forensics and tracing techniques they would use to follow the money.
    If you are currently feeling that “gut-punch” feeling after a crypto scam, don’t give up hope just yet. The Wizard James Recovery Company is the real deal. They are professional, transparent, and most importantly effective. They gave me my peace of mind back, and I can’t recommend them enough. Wizardjamesrecovery@usa.com

    I’m sharing my experience to help others who may be going through the same situation. I lost 260,870 in cryptocurrency to an investment scammer and thought it was gone for good. After exhausting several options, I eventually got assistance from Brunoe Quick Hack, and to my relief, the stolen funds were successfully recovered. The process restored not only my assets but also my confidence after the scam. This experience will always remain a part of my story, not as a symbol of failure, but as proof that even in the face of significant loss, determination and careful action can sometimes lead to unexpected recovery.CONTACT>>> BrunoeQuickHack-(@)-Gmail.Com

    Dune Nectar Web Expert assists individuals and organisations in promptly and compassionately recovering misplaced or misappropriated funds. Our team comprises experienced specialists in financial recovery, fraud investigation, and client advocacy, with strong customer ratings on Google Reviews and Trustpilot. Each case is handled urgently, empathetically, and results-oriented.

    We address cryptocurrency scams, chargeback and payment-recovery disputes, forex and investment frauds, phishing and social-engineering schemes, and other misappropriations. For cryptocurrency matters we combine blockchain tracing with investigative methods to map fund movements and identify parties. For chargebacks and payment disputes we review merchant records, processor policies, and transaction timelines to build evidentiary support. For forex and investment fraud we reconstruct transaction histories, verify counterparties’ regulatory status, and coordinate with compliance experts to seek restitution via legal and administrative channels.

    Our process is transparent and methodical: intake includes assessment of documents, transaction logs, and communications to determine feasibility and strategy; forensic examinations employ blockchain analytics, bank tracing, and digital forensics; targeted outreach is made to processors, exchanges, and institutions; and, when appropriate, we coordinate with law enforcement, regulators, and external counsel. Clients receive regular updates, defined timelines, and clear explanations of options and probable outcomes.

    We provide tailored, evidence-based advice, distinguishing reversible payment methods (chargeback-eligible) from irreversible transfers (certain cryptocurrency transactions) and explaining strategic implications. We disclose prospective fees, expected timelines, and success factors such as prompt reporting, transaction identifiers, and third-party cooperation.

    Our approach is supported by industry research showing that early detection improves recovery odds. We prioritise rapid evidence preservation, verified chains of custody, and accredited forensic tools to produce documentation suitable for formal remedies.

    We pursue proactive, pragmatic recovery strategies while openly communicating risks and impediments—jurisdictional limits, counterparty anonymity, and regulatory differences. To address these, we maintain a network of legal partners, compliance advisers, and international contacts to facilitate cross-border cooperation and remedies, including mutual legal assistance, exchange-freeze petitions, and civil recovery proceedings.

    Engaging Dune Nectar Web Expert provides a partner committed to integrity, transparency, and demonstrable results, with explicit engagement terms, documented action plans, periodic reports, and guidance on legal processes with projected timelines, costs, and expected outcomes.

    In summary, our objective is to recover clients’ assets through bespoke, transparent, and effective solutions combining forensic technology, regulatory expertise, and proven investigative workflows. To report a case, contact:

    We never imagined we’d own a home or qualify for a mortgage due to our credit situation. It felt impossible. But everything changed after speaking with West at H A C K W E S T @ W R I T E M E . C O M.

    From the very first conversation, he was professional, confident, and transparent. He assured us he could fix our credit and raise our score… you know what? he delivered. Within just 9 days, our worries disappeared, our credit was fixed, our score improved, and we were approved for our first mortgage. The entire process was smooth, fast, and stress-free which is far easier than what friends experienced with other companies.

    Beyond that, I also had a devastating crypto loss. I lost 19.6 Bitcoin to an online investment scam after trusting someone I met online. When I realized I had been scammed and blocked, I was mentally broken and financially devastated.

    Through a family recommendation, I contacted Hackwest. Despite not being able to pay upfront, I completed assigned tasks instead and against all odds, every single Bitcoin was recovered. All 19.6 BTC returned safely.

    This wasn’t just a service it was life restoration.

    Hack West didn’t just fix systems he restored stability, security, and peace of mind.
    From credit repair to mortgage approval to crypto recovery, the results were real.

    Highly recommended. Professional. Reliable. Life-changing.
