I definately feel you on this. The kit you are looking at seems to be one of the better deals I’ve seen. I’ve seen a kit my friend got from worldwide tattoo supply the intermediate one. and everything works though all is so cheaply made. the tatt machines you’ll probably find it beneficial to quickly buy a quality machine as the kit machines are so cheap and the quality in the tattoo really suffers as the frames get hot after use. a quality frame and quality machine was my friend’s major dilemma with the kit. but it all will work. I’m no expert on this subject but all the equipment will surely help you get a feel for some of the parts and how to use them.

I just saw a great response to this question in my email right after i posted this question. Thank you so much for the idea of parchment paper. tracing paper definately did not do any justice for body curve design.

appreciate it

thank you again for the feedback and this is my real question stumping me.

and basically I’m wanting to create a geometric polynesian tat for the upper thigh and have simply been wondering how a pro would get all the perfect lines to “line up” correctly as the design on paper won’t more than likely be exactly correct when the design is applied to the body.

I’m wondering if will the pro tat artist will look at the design and then free hand draw with a skin marker the entire design onto the skin? If so, does the pro use a type of ruler that bends well with the body curve?

Very stumped on this question.

truly thankful for any feedback

thank you so much for your response. I truly appreciate it. I’m obviously a greenhorn but interested in understanding exactly how tattooists do a largely designed piece like a sleeve. So I’m basically understanding from your response that a once a preliminary design is sketched out on paper that the tattoo artist will then free hand draw the design onto the skin with a skin marker and bypass much of the need for a stencil. that makes complete sense if that is the case. So is this what everyone does? free hand draw the design with a skin marker?

Sincerely appreciate any help with this question

I love your design and how good it looks. I’m curious if you might be able to give me a tip or any advice. I’m trying to design a piece in a similar area of the body and I don’t know how to design a tattoo transfer design. I’ve tried to use conventional tracing paper for a tattoo design after measuring the diameter of the arm and I’ve found that paper doesn’t form correctly because of it’s stiffness around the body without a slit or dart. So how did you design a tattoo sleeve that must curve so much around? Is there a possibly a type of plastic or rubber paper that molds to the body easily and can be used to trace out and design how a tattoo will look over very curved parts of the body?

I appreciate any help or advice
