To make the stencil, put the stencil paper down with the carbon sheet facing up. Then, place the paper with your drawing or printed design on top. Press over all the lines with your pen and trace the design. When you're doing this, you want to try to stick with one motion to make a crisp and clean stencil.

To create a tattoo stencil, you will need transfer paper, a thermal copier or a pencil, and your chosen design. Select the design for your tattoo stencil and print it or draw it by hand onto the transfer paper using a pencil. Place the stencil paper with your design against the skin where you want the tattoo.

Making tattoo stencils at home requires a few things. First, get masking tape, glycerin-based stick deodorant or stencil lotion, antibacterial soaps, wax, tracing, or carbon papers. Along with them, find a razor and a pen that has a pointy tip. If you have all of that, you are good to go.
