Info

Although thermal transfer paper has been the industry standard for several decades, the production papers have been reasonably one-dimensional, only producing dark purple outlines as you would get with any regular carbon copying paper. While this color works great on lighter skin, it can be quite poorly visible on darker skin tones.

FAQs

How do you transfer a tattoo from stencil paper to the skin?

Once you have imprinted your design on the underside of the master sheet of your tattoo transfer paper (by hand to stencil machine), it’s time to transfer the stencil to your client’s skin.

• First, ensure that the skin is clean, micro-free, and hairless. For best results, clean the skin with some form of organic antimicrobial agent.
• Dry the skin by patting it down
• Next, apply a stencil gel like this one from Illusionist Tattoo onto the skin to give the stencil more staying power.
• Now, place the sheet on the patch of skin and press it down firmly, without rubbing it or shifting the paper around.
• Leave the stencil on there for a couple of minutes to ensure the stencil transfers correctly.
• Peel the stencil off gradually, checking to ensure that the transfer is complete
• Allow the stencil dry completely before touching it to enhance longevity

You are now ready to begin tracing the tattoo out with a tattoo machine.
