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!

After losing crypto to a scam, desperation had started creeping in, until THECYBERGOATTECHIE became the lifeline I didn’t know I needed. Skepticism melted away the moment their team stepped in, armed with precision and patience. Every update felt like a step closer to breathing again, not just recovering numbers on a screen. They didn’t just retrieve funds; they restored trust in a space that had burned me. The relief wasn’t just financial, it was visceral. If you’re drowning in the chaos of lost assets or navigating crypto’s murky waters, their name is the one worth remembering. Hands down, thecybergoat@techie.com, the difference between despair and resolution.
Working with TheCybergoatTechie was nothing short of transformative. After an investment scam left me reeling, their team became my lifeline. What began as a desperate email spiraled into meticulous forensic work: tracing digital breadcrumbs, dissecting transaction histories, even reconstructing the scam’s architecture. They spoke in clarity, not condescension, translating legal complexities into actionable steps while their paralegals weaponized paperwork like silent assassins. The recovery wasn’t instantaneous; justice grinds slowly, but their updates were precise. When the first recovered funds hit my account, it wasn’t just money returning; it was dignity. For those navigating financial quicksand, thecybergoat@techie.com doesn’t just throw ropes; they rebuild the ground beneath your feet.

Locked Out of $630k Until Bitreclaim Stepped In
This has been one of the most stressful experiences of my life.
I was locked out of my Coinbase Wallet for more than four months, unable to access $630,000+ and 3,189 ETH. Despite countless attempts, I could not reach a Coinbase support representative with authority to help. Everything led to automated systems, repeated scripts, or requests for information I had no way to obtain.
What made the situation even more disturbing was being told I had to pay an extra $441,995 as a so-called “one-time tax payment” directly to Coinbase not the IRS before access would be restored. I was told Coinbase would hold the tax funds on my behalf. This made no sense and felt deeply wrong.
At that stage, I was emotionally exhausted and convinced my life savings were gone.
I eventually found Bitreclaim.com and opened a formal case with their smart contract audit team. From the very first interaction, they treated this like a serious financial incident. They reviewed wallet data, transaction history, and communications, and conducted a blockchain forensic audit to identify what had actually happened.
Thanks to Bitreclaim, I was able to recover access to my assets and move them safely back into my Ledger Nano. Their expertise made the difference when no one else would even listen.
If you’re facing frozen crypto, suspicious payment demands, or unresponsive exchanges, gather all transaction hashes and wallet details and open a detailed case with Bitreclaim’s 24/7 support. It may save you months or everything.
I would like to share an important experience as a reminder to others in the crypto space.
I fell victim to an investment scam and lost 560,870. Following the incident, I pursued formal reporting procedures and sought legitimate professional assistance to address the situation.

Good day viewers, I wish to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs, but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery and I saw many individuals testifying about Priest Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery and he clarified the process to me stating that after he casts the spell it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers which I accepted. I followed all his instructions and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery.. After the draw the following morning I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million on the New Jersey Lottery. I’m here to extend my heartfelt gratitude and praise to Priest Meduza. If you need help in your life, Whats_App +18077983042 or Email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or visit: lordmeduzatemple.com
