ReelSkin Synthetic Sheet


The ReelSkin Synthetic Sheet is a professional training skin developed to meet the real demands of the tattooing process, and is widely used by both beginner tattoo artists and experienced artists. Created to simulate the behavior of human skin with high fidelity, it offers a balanced combination of appearance, tactile feel, and elasticity, enabling consistent and realistic technical practice.

For those starting out in tattooing, ReelSkin is an essential tool for developing hand control, needle depth, line precision, fills, and shading in a safe, risk-free environment. For experienced tattoo artists, it is ideal for experimenting with new techniques, testing machines, needles, and inks, or for creating portfolio pieces that demonstrate quality, style, and technical mastery to clients.

Thanks to its elasticity and thickness between 2 and 3 mm, ReelSkin allows artists to work with different tattoo techniques while providing a response very close to real skin. Stencil application is simple and effective, and it can be used with stencil solution without the surface becoming overly wet or compromised. After tattooing, the sheet can be cleaned, keeping the artwork visible and presentable, without unwanted stains or marks.

Another major advantage is the possibility of use on both sides, maximizing material usage and making ReelSkin an economical and durable solution for continuous practice.

Available in A3, A4, and A5 formats, it adapts to different needs, from quick technical exercises to the execution of complete pieces for professional presentation.

Main Features:
  • Approximate thickness of 2 to 3 mm
  • Appearance, feel, and elasticity similar to human skin
  • Compatible with stencil application
  • Easy to clean, without leaving stains or marks
  • Usable on both sides
  • Available in A3, A4, and A5 sizes

How to Use

How to Use

A ReelSkin Synthetic Sheet was developed to realistically reproduce the tattooing process on human skin, allowing for safe, controlled, and effective technical training. Follow the steps below to achieve the best performance and professional results.
  1. Surface preparation

    Before starting your training, place the ReelSkin sheet on a flat, firm, and stable surface.

    If necessary, you can secure it with tape or a non-slip support to prevent movement during tattooing.


  2. Stencil application

    ReelSkin is fully compatible with stencil and transfer products.

    Recommended steps:

    - Apply a thin layer of stencil solution

    - Transfer the design with even pressure

    - Let the stencil dry completely before tattooing

    Allowing the stencil to dry properly helps prevent smudging and ensures greater precision during the work.


  3. Equipment setup

    Use ReelSkin with:

    - Pen-style, rotary, or coil tattoo machines

    - Cartridge tattoo needles or traditional long bar needles

    - Any type of tattoo ink

    The 2 to 3 mm thickness allows you to train the correct needle depth, simulating the behavior of real skin.


  4. Starting the tattoo

    Begin with the linework, adjusting:

    - Machine speed

    - Voltage

    - Hand pressure

    The elasticity of ReelSkin allows you to practice:

    - Continuous and precise lines

    - Smooth shading and transitions

    - Solid fills

    - Techniques such as fine line, whip shading, dotwork, and realism


  5. Cleaning during the process

    During tattooing, you can clean the surface with:

    - Super absorbent paper

    - Water or green soap

    ReelSkin allows excess ink to be removed without compromising the design or damaging the surface.


  6. Final cleaning of the piece

    After completing the tattoo:

    - Carefully clean the sheet to remove ink residue

    - Photograph the piece for portfolio, social media, or client presentation

    The surface was designed to be cleaned without leaving stains or unwanted marks.


  7. Use on both sides

    ReelSkin is thick enough to allow use on both sides, increasing durability and product efficiency.

    After completing one side, you can flip the sheet and repeat the process.


  8. Storage

    After use:

    - Store the sheet on a flat surface

    - Avoid direct exposure to heat or sunlight

    - Keep away from sharp objects

    Proper storage extends the lifespan of the synthetic skin.

    Professional tips

    - Practice the same line or technique multiple times to improve consistency

    - Use different machine settings to compare results

    - Photograph your work with good lighting for analysis and portfolio use

    - Ideal for training before tattooing human skin
