Tattoo transfer paper?

Question

where can i get that paper they use to transfer tattoo designs onto the skin before they actually tattoo? and also what do you need to use so that the design actually does transfer?

Answer 1

you can use tracing paper or transfer paper. available online or in office supply stores, some tattoo shops might sell you a few sheets if you ask nicely.

Place the transfer/tracing paper on a flat table.

Place the carbon paper ink-side down so that it faces the transfer/tracing paper.

Place your design on top of the back of the carbon paper.

Tape these sheets together securely so that they don't move around. If they are able to move, your final result might not be quite what you envisioned.

Trace over the design by pressing firmly on the design to ensure that you transfer it completely.

Once you have completed tracing over the whole design, cut it out along the edges.

The skin needs to be moistened in order for the transfer to stick onto the skin, so put some deodorant (glycerin-based) on the area where you want to place your design. most use old spice the clear stick.

Now that the transfer paper has your design on it, place the transfer paper on top of the moistened area and rub gently onto the skin.

when dry you can use a sharpie or other non toxic markers to color the design

Answer 2

Ok, I hope you are not doing a back yard job, but I know that is none of my business, but if you are please please please make sure this person is good.

I work with a tattooist and you can get transfer paper from e'bay, as obviously a supplier will not supply to you as you are not registered.

Once it arrives from e'bay, (it is genuine transfer paper) you then copy by drawing onto the paper then once that in done, you have a roll on of brut (mens aftercare) and roll that onto the place/area where you want the tattoo to be, then place transfer over it and gently GENTLY rub downwards, the transfer is then complete, but you can keep that original drawing for others, no need to throw it out.

Good Luck........
