How to transfer ink to skin

by TM Maria Be a king in your own kingdom

Whether you are preparing to get a permanent tattoo or prefer a bit of temporary art on your skin, transferring the tub to your skin is not a difficult task to accomplish. It allows you to determine what the design will look like before committing to a permanent tattoo on the tattoo studio.

It also allows you to change the designs that you will place on your skin to match your clothes. Transferring ink to your skin requires a few simple materials and less than half an hour of your time.

Place a template of your choice in the center of a sheet of tracing paper. Any template will do, from butterflies to flowers to tribal designs to Celtic knots.

Fill the template with the colored pens of your choice. Make sure to press down with some force without tearing the paper and to draw several layers of ink between the holes in the stencil to create your design.

Rub clear deodorant or petroleum jelly on the area of your skin where you want to put the ink design. Make sure to apply enough sticky substance to your skin to leave it slightly damp.

Press the side of the paper where you drew it against your moistened skin. Hold it in place and carefully flatten it out with your free hand. Do not let the paper slip, otherwise, the ink will smear.

Lift the tracing paper away from the skin, carefully lifting it from one corner. Do not touch the area for at least 10 minutes, while it is still wet and the transferred ink dries.

Advice

Leave the ink as a temporary tattoo or use it as a base for a permanent tattoo.
