Skin Application

Here is our advice for a successful application :

1. Sanitize the skin- rubbing alcohol 70% only! This is to neutralize the skin oils and ph level and allow the stencil to transfer well to the skin.
2. Transfer Gel- When dry again apply transfer solution gel of your choice. (Some brands are more compatible with our ink then others...you can find our client's recommended brands on the FAQ's page).

Printed Stencils are naturally less pigmented and more detailed then other methods, and as such, they require more precision and accuracy. A clean process and correct amount of tranfer gel is important for the final results. it could take a few tries to get the new amounts right..
3. Application- Apply the stencil on the skin and press it firmly. you can use a paper towel damp with some rubbing alcohol. This disconnect the ink from the paper on to the skin.
4. Drying- Remove the stencil Paper and let the stencil on the skin to dry for at least 10 minutes. To ensure that the stencil will stay strong and durable throughout the tattooing process.
