How to Put on a Tattoo Stencil
- 1). Clean the area where the tattoo stencil will be applied with soap and water then blot the skin dry with a paper towel.
- 2). Shave all hair off of the area with a razor.
- 3). Rub the skin where the tattoo will go with unscented deodorant. This will help the stencil ink adhere to the skin and darken the lines of the design.
- 4). Apply the stencil carefully, with the ink side facing down. Smooth it out against the skin to remove any bumps and to transfer a crisp design. Allow the stencil to sit on the skin for a few seconds.
- 5). Remove the stencil paper slowly. An outline of the tattoo design will appear on the skin. Allow the design to dry fully before tattooing.
