Preparing Your Tattoo Design
Before printing, ensure your design is ready and formatted properly.
Design Tips:
- Use black and white high-resolution images
- Ensure correct sizing (within 216mm width and 400mm length)
- Invert the image if needed (mirror mode)

How to Print the Tattoo Stencil
Once your device is set up and the design is ready, proceed to print:
Steps:
- Insert the A4 stencil paper with the white sheet facing up
- Select the design in your mobile app or PC software
- Adjust the resolution and print settings (default: 203 dpi)
- Click “Print”
Wait for the printer to finish. The process should take only a few seconds depending on the size of the design.
How to Apply the Stencil to Skin
After printing, here’s how to transfer the design to your client’s skin:
Steps:
- Clean and shave the area where the tattoo will be applied
- Use a stencil application gel or solution
- Place the printed stencil face-down onto the skin
- Press gently for 10-15 seconds

- Allow the stencil to dry for several minutes before tattooing
Pro Tip: Avoid touching or smearing the stencil after application to maintain clarity.
