HOW TO CREATE A TATTOO STENCIL BY HAND STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL

Описание: Preparing a tattoo stencil by hand is not only a practical solution for those with limited resources but also a valuable step in becoming familiar with the design you're about to tattoo. It's akin to a rehearsal before the main event. However, creating a stencil by hand involves careful consideration of several key factors.

Firstly, it's crucial to print your design in the exact size you intend for the tattoo. Since you'll be tracing it directly, there's no room for size adjustments afterward. It's a smart move to print several sizes and test them against the client's skin to ensure the perfect fit. For simple tattoos, size might not be a big deal, but for detailed work like portraits, ships, or buildings, accuracy is essential. Mistakes in sizing can significantly disrupt your workflow, especially since stencils for complex designs take a considerable amount of time to perfect.

Secondly, ensure your stencil transfers accurately to the back of your paper or directly onto the stencil sheet. If you're tracing directly behind the printed paper, there's less concern. However, if you're transferring to a stencil sheet, secure the paper with tape to prevent any movement during the tracing process. Any shift can lead to time-consuming corrections.

Lastly, the quality of your stencil paper and transfer gel is paramount. I've consistently used 'Spirit Classic Thermal Paper' for these types of stencils, and recently, 'Proton' has become my go-to stencil gel. It's the best transfer gel I've found on the market.

Creating your first stencils by hand is not just rewarding; it's a fun way to engage with the tattooing process in a tactile, analog manner. This practice will greatly benefit your technique before the actual tattooing begins. Enjoy every step of the process, don't be too hard on yourself, and happy tattooing!
