How can i transfer my tattoo design to my skin?
you can actually use just stick deodorant. make the design on the carbon paper, rub the deodorant (has to be a solid, and clearish...not the white kind) onto your skin and immediately place the carbon paper on the spot. leave it there for a few seconds while you gently rub it. kind of like putting on a temporary tattoo. if you dont use that kind of deodorant, another thing that works is to put a solution of soap and water (about 50/50) in a squirt bottle and spray that on instead of the deodorant. they both work really well. and incase you dont like it, rubbing alcohol will take it all off :)
Reply:Clear stick deodorant will work. Print it out or photocopy it


then press on to deodorant covered skin..
Reply:Good Idea. Glad you're taking some time and thought...





We use carbon paper. Layers of thin paper with a carbon sheet underneath, and you put the design inbetween the sheet, above the carbon, and then run it through a thermofax...which uses heat and pressure to transfer the design.





I doubt that you can get either of those things... Sorry.. We order ours from a supply company..and I'm not sure where to get it outside of them...





We also use green soap and/or a deodorant stick to actually prepare the skin for the design to be applied. You could try using an ink pen, and deodorant on the skin where you want it, and see if that transfers...but I'm not used to the home-ways of it..





Maybe you have a friend that could draw it out on you..?
