Stencil application liquids help transfer the drawing from hectographic paper onto the skin with better sharpness, adhesion and stability.
How Stencil Application Liquids Work
Once applied, the skin becomes slightly tacky, which makes the stencil pigment land well defined and stay visible throughout the tattoo.
Your choice should account for the paper you use, the application method and the manufacturer's instructions. Correct preparation reduces the risk of faded lines, smudging or the transfer shifting as you apply it.
Which Application Liquid To Choose
There are several types, so weigh three things: the paper you'll use, your application method and the manufacturer's guidance. The right liquid applied correctly cuts your margin of error dramatically.
How To Apply A Tattoo Stencil
Clean and prepare the area. The skin has to be dry, hair free and clear of creams, oil, sweat or any residue that could compromise the transfer.
Apply a small amount of liquid and spread a thin, even layer. Don't leave the skin soaked. Excess liquid makes the stencil slide or blurs the lines.
Wait until the surface turns slightly tacky.
Position the hectographic paper on the skin and press firmly, without moving or dragging it.
Lift the paper slowly, starting from one edge.
