The main purpose of stencil preparation liquids is to clean and sanitise the skin.
They also strip oil from the skin and turn it into a proper base for transfer. Prepare the skin well and you cut the risk of the stencil sliding or transferring incomplete.
How To Prepare The Skin Before Tattooing
Skin preparation is a critical step. It raises the quality of the finished work and makes sure the session is safe and hygienic.
Clean the area. Remove sweat, creams, oils and any other residue from the skin you're about to tattoo.
Shave the area. Where needed, use a disposable razor and clean again to remove loose hair and residue.
Apply transfer liquid and the stencil. Always use professional products and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
How To Balance Skin pH Before Tattooing
If you want to balance your client's skin pH before starting, look for stencil preparation liquids with a neutral, physiological or eudermic pH. Only those formulas clean the area without disturbing its pH.
Never substitute a proper stencil preparation liquid with household products.
