  • Hi!! I’m not a professional or anything as you can tell but I just made this quick video. I was skruggggling with how to use this shit. I was using the wrong paper and yadda yadda. But I hope this helps! But again, this also probably isn’t right right way, but this way worked for me.

      Me too 😂 I got a wormhole machine last year with a bunch of black ink, color ink, tattoo bandages, and healing salve. I have been reading on how to use it and watching videos for about a year. About to break out this bad boy when I realized---- I don't have transfer paper!! Ugh. I got practice skins in silicone and plastic but I may actually need to buy transfer paper huh? 🤦🤦🤦

    Thank you so much for being so clear and to the point! Like you said, there's not a lot of tutorials that really explain it like you did, or they'll just tell you to get the thermal printer. You're a lifesaver!

  • @ew6615
    @ew6615 Před 3 lety +337

    The flimsy sheet should be removed. Draw the stencil onto the other white page. Also, another tip is if you used a stencil applicator like stencil stuff on the skin, apply the stencil and then let it dry for about 20 min, the stencil won't rub off easily.

    • @hlytee
      @hlytee  Před 3 lety +33

      Ooo okay thank you! I must’ve messed up the way you described because I couldn’t get the stencil to show up on that paper. 😅

    • @michelauspimmelberger
      @michelauspimmelberger Před 3 lety +20

      @@TheRiordane No, thats just a protective film, so the carbon doesn't rub off while in transport. The brand i use even covers the underside in some kind of wax, to prevent the carbon from sticking to it. The other translucent white paper that is attached to the carbon sheet is used to transfer the stencil onto.

  • @alienangel777
    @alienangel777 Před 2 lety +119

    Thank you for this simple and understandable tutorial! I've found that something that works better for me than deodorant or green soap is...simply lick your skin for the transfer. I know, it sounds weird and unsanitary, but the ink sticks like a mf and after 5-6 handwashes with soap and water, your skin has been washed multiple times and the ink stays sharp and dark. So to tattoo on licked and then washing a few times (more washing than suggested for Covid) makes for a good low infection, long lasting print on the skin. If you don't finish the actual tattoo in one day, you can just rely on the ink staying long enough to continue another day. Peace!

    I just started messing around myself and got some transfer paper today but about 3 days ago I came up with this idea to put a piece of wax paper on a plain piece of printer paper (spray adhesive), then I put it in my printer and printed on it like a regular piece of paper. The wax paper isn't as porous so the ink will sit on it, press it on yourself like the transfer paper and it works. Note: if anyone decides to do this quick solution, you will think you can use your little creation more than once cuz you can wipe the ink off, but it really only works once. Just like transfer paper.

    Just a heads up the reason there’s two pieces of see-through paper on the other side is so that you can put your drawing in between the 20 Paik pieces of paper that way you can trace over something that you printed out trace over something off your iPad or whatever your picture you have the trays that way to trace is that on to your transfer piece

    Do you have to drawl a mirrored image or do you drawl it the same way you want it tattooed

    I’ve tattooed almost half of my thigh so far and I have this old stencil paper that I’ve had sitting in my closet for ages because I have no idea how to use it. I just sharpie on my leg and tattoo over it. Maybe I’ll give this way a go and see

    I had the same problem on CZcams regarding this subject up untill your video, and I am so glad I found this because your video was to the t on this subject and what I was trying to learn so thank you so very much, question I have for you and you may or may not know but I thought I'd ask anyway. So the 3 questions i have are with the deodorant stick, do all the different brands work the same or enough to where is there a certain brand that you prefer over others or no? 2nd question is if you use the transfer paper, but want to re position it in a different location on the body, how many times can you use the same transfer paper before you decide to use a new transfer paper. And 3rd question is what's the best way to get the previous design off your body from the transfer paper? Like maybe hand sanitizer? Also thumbs up for you and I subscribed to your chennal :).

      Hello!!🥺🥺❤️ thank you for subscribing and for your kind words!!
      I’m pretty sure the deodorant all works the same but legit just get a small $1 one (:
      Hmm I think I used the same stencil twice at least! But when your order transfer paper, you get a lot in a pack so you’ll have plenty of papers to practice on (: and yes I used hand sanitizer to get off the stencil on surfaces and my arm. But I’m pretty sure soap and water works too(: again I’m not a professional so definitely check out articles and videos from actual tattoo artists (:
